Section 230 (d), as amended, we hereby notify you that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available on external websites, two of which include GetNetWise (http://kids.getnetwise.org/) and OnGuard Online (http://onguardonline.gov/). Please note that we do not endorse any of the products or services listed at such websites.
9. Rules for Sweepstakes, Contests and Games
In addition to these Terms of Use, any sweepstakes, contests, games or similar promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through the Sites may be governed by specific rules that are separate from these Terms of Use. By participating in any such Promotion, you will become subject to those rules, which may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein. We urge you to review any specific rules applicable to a particular Promotion, which will be linked from such Promotion, and to review our Privacy Policy which, in addition to these Terms of Use, governs any information you submit in connection with such activities. To the extent such rules conflict with these Terms of Use, such rules shall control with respect to the particular Promotion.
10. Termination
These Terms of Use shall remain effective until terminated in accordance with its terms. We reserve the right to immediately terminate these Terms of Use, and/or your access to and use of the Sites or any portion thereof, at any time and for any reason, with or without cause, including but not limited to repeated unauthorized postings of copyrighted works. Upon termination of these Terms of Use, your right to use the Sites shall immediately cease, and you shall destroy all Materials obtained from the Sites and all copies thereof. You agree that any termination of your access to or use of the Sites may be effected without prior notice, and that we may immediately deactivate or delete your password and user name, and all related information and files associated with them, and/or bar any further access to such information or files. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Sites or to any such information or files, and shall not be required to make such information or files available to you after any such termination.
11. Suspected Violation of these Terms or Law; Injunctive, Equitable Relief, and Liquidated Damages
Violations of these Terms of Use, including unauthorized use of the Sites, may be investigated and appropriate legal action may be taken, including without limitation civil, criminal and injunctive redress. You understand and agree that in our sole discretion, and without prior notice, we may terminate and block your access to the Sites or to our other services, cancel your Transaction, refuse to honor pending and future Transactions made from all credit card accounts or online accounts we believe may be associated with you, cancel a Transaction associated with any person acting or believed to be acting in concert with you, remove any unauthorized User Content or exercise any other remedy available, if we believe that your conduct or the conduct of any person with whom we believe you act in concert, or the User Content you provide, or any resale of products or services purchased through us or our Sites, violates or is inconsistent with these Terms of Use or the law, or violates the rights of Aspira, a customer of ours, or another user of the Sites. Violating any limitations or terms on the Sites, including but not limited to utilizing automated means to process Transactions that exceed the stated limit will be deemed to be a material violation of these Terms of Use.
You agree that monetary damages may not provide a sufficient remedy for violations of these Terms of Use and you consent to injunctive or other equitable relief for such violations.
You agree that abusive use of the Sites, as defined above, causes damage and harm to us in the form of, among other things, impaired goodwill, lost sales, and increased expenses associated with responding to abusive use of the Sites. You further agree that monetary damages for abusive use of the Sites are difficult to ascertain and that proof of monetary damages for abusive use would be costly and difficult to calculate. Accordingly, you agree that liquidated damages are warranted for abusive use. Therefore, you agree that if you, or others acting in concert with you, alone or collectively request more than 1,000 pages of the Sites in any 24 hour period, you, and those acting in concert with you, will be jointly and severally liable for liquidated damages in the amount of twenty-five cents ($0.25) per page request each time that a page request is made after that first 1,000 during that twenty-four hour period. You acknowledge that: (a) we have a valid interest in ensuring proper use of the Sites; (b) this provision is reasonably tailored to that purpose; and (c) that the liquidated damages amount is a reasonable approximation of the costs and damages that we would incur as a result of such action by you or others acting in concert with you.
We are not required to provide any refund to you if it exercises any of its rights or remedies because you have violated these Terms of Use or any of our rights. Additionally, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, suspend or discontinue any part of this Sites at any time, with or without notice to you. We also reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to impose limits on certain features and services and to restrict access to the Sites without notice to you. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any claim or cause of action arising out of its exercise of the foregoing rights.

15. Arbitration Agreement
(a) Except as prohibited by law, each party to these Terms of Use agrees that any claim, controversy or legal dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (hereinafter, a “Dispute”) will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS. If JAMS is not available in the state in which you reside, then the Dispute will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes claims, controversies or disputes arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, all of which shall be considered within the definition of “Dispute.” THE PARTIES UNDERSTAND THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY SET FORTH TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, THEY ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTES. However, we may not invoke our right to arbitrate any individual claim that you bring in small claims court, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. Notwithstanding the above, we both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Each party agrees that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Sites or these Terms of Use must be filed within two (2) years after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). Any Notice to us should be addressed to: RA Outdoors, LLC, d/b/a Aspira, Attn: General Counsel, 717 North Harwood Street, Suite 2300, Dallas, TX 75201 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If we and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or we are entitled. After we receive notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, we will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee up to $350, unless your claim is for greater than $50,000 (as described further below).
(c) The arbitration will be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the AAA (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), except as specified in or modified by these Terms of Use. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Section. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide (as described further in subsection (d) below). The rules promulgated by the AAA concerning class arbitration shall not apply. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $50,000, we will pay all costs of the arbitration (i.e. the JAMS filing and administration fee and the arbitrator’s fee) up to $350 for an arbitration initiated in accordance with this arbitration agreement. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse us for all monies we previously disbursed that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if you initiate an arbitration in which you seek more than $50,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.
(d) Notwithstanding the AAA Rules, the foregoing or any other provision of these Terms of Use (including the arbitration agreement), any disagreement or dispute concerning arbitrability (whether a particular Dispute is arbitrable) or the scope of this arbitration agreement shall be resolved by, if your billing address is in Canada, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, or otherwise, by the United States District Court for the federal district in which you reside; provided that if that United States District Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, then any such disagreement or dispute shall be resolved by the state court of general jurisdiction embracing the area in which you reside. By way of example only (and not by limitation), if the parties do not agree on whether a particular Dispute is subject to arbitration under this arbitration agreement, the proper tribunal to decide such Dispute is the United States District Court (for the appropriate district, as provided above) or, absent subject matter jurisdiction in that United States District Court, in the appropriate state court (as described above). The arbitrator shall stay all arbitration proceedings pending a decision from the appropriate court on disputes under this subsection. The arbitrator shall follow, adhere to and defer to the decision, order, decree or judgment of the court following the court’s decision of any such dispute under this subsection. Any action, award or partial award of the arbitrator in contravention of this limitation may be the subject of court appeal by the aggrieved party. No other aspect of any ruling by the arbitrator shall be appealable, and all other aspects of the arbitrator’s ruling shall be final and non-appealable, except as set forth herein.
(e) WAIVER OF CLASS-WIDE PROCEEDINGS: You agree that, by entering into these Terms of Use, you and we are each waiving the right to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Each party to these Terms of Use agrees and covenants that it will not initiate any class-wide proceedings, including class actions or class arbitrations, against another party, and will not act as a class representative or class member. This provision constitutes an agreement that any Dispute will be resolved exclusively on a bilateral basis between the parties, with each party acting in his/her/its individual capacity. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If for any reason the prohibition on class arbitration in this subsection is not or cannot be enforced, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply.
(f) These Terms of Use evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. Texas state law and procedures concerning arbitration shall apply to these Terms of Use only to the extent that they do not conflict with and are not inconsistent with the FAA. This arbitration agreement shall survive termination of these Terms of Use.
(g) Unless both parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your billing address. Subject to the terms of this arbitration agreement, all Disputes shall be decided by a single arbitrator, who shall be either: (1) a retired federal judge; (2) a retired state court judge who sat on a trial court or appellate court for at least five (5) years; or (3) an attorney admitted to practice in the state in which the Dispute will be resolved for at least twenty-five (25) years with no disciplinary history. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the notice initiating the arbitration. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the complaining party shall notify JAMS (or the AAA, as applicable) and request selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the applicable AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have only such authority to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees as a court would have for the particular claim(s) asserted.
(h) This arbitration agreement is not intended to modify or limit the remedies available to either party, including the right to seek interim relief, such as injunction or attachment, through judicial process, which will not be deemed a waiver of the right to demand and obtain arbitration. Any Dispute that is not arbitrated, including any judicial action to enforce this arbitration provision will be litigated exclusively in, if you reside in Canada, the Supreme Court of British Columbia, or otherwise in the United States District Court for the federal district in which you reside, and the parties hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of such court; provided that if that United States District Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, then any such disagreement or dispute shall be resolved by the state court of general jurisdiction embracing the area in which you reside.
(i) The arbitrator shall have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of the dispute and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; provided, however, that in no event shall the right to discovery granted to the parties to these Terms of Use exceed ten (10) interrogatories, twelve (12) documents requests, two third-party subpoenas, and one deposition (of not more than four hours), per side. The parties may submit such pre-arbitration and post-arbitration briefs (including briefs during arbitration) as they choose, provided that no party shall submit briefing exceeding a reasonable page limitation to be set by the arbitrator. In the event any party submits a motion, the arbitrator shall consider the motion and either deny it or request opposition briefing by the non-moving party, which shall not be required until requested by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may not grant a motion without allowing the opposing party an opportunity to oppose. The total length of the arbitration hearings on the merits shall not exceed 10 hours of hearing time, to be divided equally between the opposing sides. All discovery shall be completed no later than sixty (60) days after appointment of the arbitrator. The hearing shall be concluded no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after appointment of the arbitrator, unless the arbitrator’s schedule requires a later hearing. The arbitrator may only extend these limits at the request of a party when the arbitrator finds exceptional cause for the extension. The parties may extend these limits by mutual agreement.
(j) The arbitrator shall be required to issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings, conclusions and a statement of award. Except as set forth herein, the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes.
