16. GOVERNING LAW

These Legal Terms and your use of CP will be governed by the internal laws of Oregon, without regard to conflict of law provisions, except to the extent governed by US federal law. Any Claims will be exclusively resolved by jurisdiction in Clackamas County, OR (except we may seek preliminary or injunctive relief anywhere). 

14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

Any dispute, claims, or lawsuit  brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), you agree to (1) submit to the personal jurisdiction of courts in Clackamas County, OR; (2) indemnify and hold CP Entities harmless from any Claims, losses, liability, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that arise from a third party and relate to your use of CP; and (3) be liable and responsible for any Claims we may have against your officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, or any other party, directly or indirectly, paid, directed or controlled by you, or acting for your benefit. The Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

Subject to any exceptions specified in these Terms of Use, if you and CP are unable to resolve any dispute through informal discussion, then you and CP agree to submit the issue to be resolved finally and exclusively by binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. Any arbitrator must be a neutral party acceptable to both you and Oregon Off Market LLC, AKA Cottage Produce, or CP. The costs of any arbitration will be paid by the losing party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Clackamas County, Oregon. 

In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to CP be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Restrictions

Arbitration shall be limited between the Parties, individually. No arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding. There is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures.

15. DISCLAIMER

YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF CP WILL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH CP AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES.

WE DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY OR USER THROUGH OR OF CP, ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE, OR ANY WEBSITE OR MOBILE APPLICATION FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISING, AND WE WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU, ANY USER OF CP, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
