Description of Services

The Site provides you with access to a variety of resources, including product and services information (“Services”). The Services are subject to these TOU.

Arbitration

You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these TOU or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the SVdP Services (“Disputes“) will be settled by binding arbitration between you and SVdP, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. You acknowledge and agree that you and SVdP are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless both you and SVdP otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this section will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this section will survive any termination of these TOU.  The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section.
