As with most websites, we use cookies, web beacons, and other online information-gathering tools in connection with our site. These tools are intended to make our site easier to use by, among other things, saving your preferences for you. A cookie is a small file stored by your internet browser on your computer. We may use either a “session cookie” and/or a “persistent cookie”. A “session cookie” stores temporary information that is erased when you close your web browser or turn off your computer. A “persistent cookie” enables our site to recognize you when you return to it and remains stored on your computer until you delete it. We may also use cookies to deliver content tailored to your interests. We do not have access to or control over web beacons or cookies may be used by our third party service providers.

The Help feature on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. Additionally, you can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the Web site of its manufacturer. Because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of AYPETS’s essential features; if you set your browser to limit or remove cookies or otherwise block our use of cookies, some features of the site may be unavailable or unable to function properly.

Arbitration

YOU AND AYPETS 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. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS ACCESS TO DISCOVERY, ALSO MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

Any dispute between you and AYPets, its agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, ‘AYPets’) arising from or relating to these Terms of Use and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms of Use, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS, Inc. under its rules applicable to consumer disputes, in effect on the date thereof. Information on JAMS and how to start arbitration can be found at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 800-352-5267. For purposes of this section, these Terms of Use and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA).

Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60-days’ advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. AYPets will provide such notice by e-mail to your e-mail address on file with AYPets and you must provide such notice by e-mail to legal@AYPets.com. During such 60-day notice period, the parties will endeavor to settle amicably by mutual discussions any Covered Disputes. Failing such amicable settlement and expiration of the notice period, either party may initiate arbitration. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever individual relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

AYPets and you agree that any Covered Dispute hereunder will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. Neither AYPets nor you are entitled to arbitrate any Covered Dispute as a class, representative or private attorney action and the arbitrator(s) will have no authority to proceed on a class, representative or private attorney general basis. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this section is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration).

Notwithstanding any provision in these terms to the contrary, we agree that if AYPets makes any future material change to this dispute resolution provision, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to AYPets. In the event that this arbitration agreement does not apply to a given dispute, then the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Broward County, Florida to resolve such claims.
