17. Arbitration Agreement

Please read this section carefully. This section affects rights that you may otherwise have.

YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM.

Any controversy or claim between you and LifeHikes arising out of or relating to: (a) these Terms or the breach thereof, (b) your access to or use of the Website, or (c) any alleged violation by you of any federal or state or local law, statute, or ordinance (each such controversy or claim, a “Claim”) shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by JAMS arbitration services or its successor. Either party may commence the arbitration process called for in these Terms by filing a written demand for arbitration with JAMS, with a copy to the other party. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of JAMS’s procedural rules in effect at the time of filing the demand for arbitration and will be held exclusively in New Castle County, Delaware, USA. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting an arbitrator from JAMS’s panel of neutrals, and in scheduling the arbitration proceedings. The parties covenant that they will participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they will share equally in its costs. This section may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered. Each party hereby consents to service of process by certified mail.

No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and LifeHikes as a result of these Terms or your use of the Website. You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms or your rights or obligations hereunder in any way (by operation of law or otherwise) without prior written consent from LifeHikes. We may transfer, assign, or delegate these Terms and our rights and obligations without consent. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision shall be modified by the court and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms shall remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of that provision or any other provision of these Terms.
