NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE MADE WITH RESPECT TO THIS SITE OR ANY INFORMATION OR SOFTWARE THEREIN. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL WASH BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (COLLECTIVELY, “DAMAGES”) THAT RESULT FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THIS SITE, NOR SHALL WASH BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER THAT RESULT FROM MISTAKES, OMISSIONS, INTERRUPTIONS, DELETION OF FILES, ERRORS, DEFECTS, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, OR ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY EVENTS BEYOND WASH’S REASONABLE CONTROL, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ACTS OF GOD, COMMUNICATIONS LINE FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION, OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THIS SITE’S RECORDS, PROGRAMS, OR SERVICES. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A NEGLIGENT ACT, WILL WASH OR ITS AFFILIATES OR AGENTS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGE OF ANY KIND THAT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF, OR THE INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, EVEN IF WASH HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER DAMAGES; AS A RESULT, THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW.

IN NO EVENT will wash’s total liability TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING FROM or related to THEse TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SITE EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, fifty dollars ($50.00). BECAUSE SOME STATES DO NOT PERMIT THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES, IN those JURISDICTIONS, LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY SUCH STATE LAW.

The failure of WASH to comply with these Terms because of an act of God, war, fire, riot, terrorism, earthquake, actions of federal, state or local governmental authorities or for any other reason beyond the reasonable control of WASH, shall not be deemed a breach of these Terms.

If WASH fails to act with respect to your breach or anyone else’s breach on any occasion, WASH is not waiving its right to act with respect to future or similar breaches.

If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms of use and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

  1. Third-Party Websites

This Site may hyperlink to sites not maintained by or related to WASH. Hyperlinks are provided as a service to users and are not sponsored by or affiliated with this Site or WASH, and we make no representations or warranties about the content, completeness, or accuracy of those third-party sites. Information you submit at a third-party site accessible from this Site is subject to the terms of that site’s privacy policy, and WASH has no control over how your information is collected, used, or otherwise handled.

  1. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with WASH and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

Except for small claims disputes in which you or WASH seek to bring an individual action in small claims court, you and WASH waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Los Angeles, California in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available at www.jamsadr.com and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and WASH agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms is personal to you and WASH and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

You and WASH agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 15 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.  All disputes between WASH and you will be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, consolidate more than one individual’s claims, or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual, all of which are prohibited by these Terms. You and WASH agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and WASH will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs.  For any arbitration initiated by WASH, WASH will pay all JAMS fees and costs.  You and WASH expressly agree that the state and federal courts of Los Angeles County shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and WASH will not have the right to assert the claim.

You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 13 by sending a written letter to WASH Multifamily Laundry Systems, Attn: Legal, 100 N. Sepulveda Blvd., 12th Floor, El Segundo, CA 90245, that specifies (i) your name, (ii) mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from final, binding arbitration procedure specified above. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 14.

  1. Governing Law and Venue

These Terms and your access to and use of the Site will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply. The parties expressly agree that any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts of Los Angeles County, California.

  1. Changes to these Terms

We may make changes to these Terms from time to time. If we make changes, we will post the amended Terms within the Site and update the “Last Updated” date above. We may also attempt to notify you by sending an email notification to the address associated with your account or provide notice through the App. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Terms will be effective immediately and your continued access to and use of the Site after we provide notice will confirm your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop accessing and using the Site.

  1. Electronic Communications

By creating a WASH account, you also consent to receive electronic communications from WASH (e.g., via email or by posting notices on our Services). These communications may include notices about your account (e.g., payment authorizations, password changes and other transactional information) and are part of your relationship with us. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing.

  1. Termination

If you are in breach of any of these Terms, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to access or use of the Site. We are not responsible for any loss, damage or harm related to your inability to access or use the Site based on such termination.

  1. General Provisions

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and WASH relating to your access to and use of the Site. The failure of WASH to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms are intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. If any provision or part of a provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
