PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY, AS THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH CHIMANI, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM CHIMANI.
To the extent the parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both you and Chimani agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for Maine. If, however, that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of Maine, County of Cumberland. You and Chimani consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.
Except to the extent they are preempted by U.S. federal law, the laws of Maine, other than its conflict-of-laws principles, govern these Terms and any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or their subject matter, including tort claims.
If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Chimani, Inc. is located at 2 June Berry Court, Yarmouth, ME 04096
