authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our or our affiliates’ behalf.
If You authorize, assist, encourage, or facilitate another person or entity to take any
action related to the subject matter of these UNIONBAY Terms, You will be deemed to

Applicable Law
These UNIONBAY Terms shall be enforced, governed and construed in accordance
with the laws of the state of Washington, USA, without regard to its conflicts of law
provisions. You and We consent and submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction to the
state and federal courts of Washington in the event of a dispute related to these
UNIONBAY Terms.
Dispute Resolution
You and We shall endeavor to settle amicably all disputes or claims arising under or in
connection with these UNIONBAY Terms by negotiation between individuals who have
the authority to settle the controversy. If You and We do not settle any such dispute or
claim within 60 days after a party has first delivered written notice of such dispute or
claim to the other party, then the parties shall submit the dispute or claim to binding
arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance
with its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration Claims shall be heard by one (1)
neutral arbitrator, mutually agreed upon by the parties and chosen within twenty (20)
days after the commencement of arbitration. As provided in the Applicable Law section
of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be enforced, governed, and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, USA and in connection therewith,
the place of arbitration shall be Seattle, Washington. Nothing in this Agreement prevents
You or We from seeking any provisional/preliminary relief (including, but not limited to,
injunctions, attachments or other such orders in aid of arbitration) and You and We
submit to, agree to, and waive any objection to the jurisdiction and venue of the state
and federal courts in the state of Washington when seeking such injunctive relief. In
any such action, the prevailing party is entitled to recover all costs and expenses,
including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses, and court costs
incurred by such party in connection with such action or proceeding. Any such
application to a court for provisional/preliminary relief will not be deemed incompatible
with the agreement to arbitrate or a waiver of the right to arbitrate. The arbitration award
may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets and the
subject matter of the arbitration. This dispute resolution provision and the arbitrator’s
authority to grant relief is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, to the exclusion of
state law inconsistent with the Federal Arbitration Act. Any award rendered by the
arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties, and You and We waive to the fullest
extent permitted by law any right it may otherwise have under the laws of any
jurisdiction to any form of appeal of, or collateral attack against, such award. You and
We (including its counsel and other representatives) shall keep the arbitration
proceeding, contents and results confidential except as required by law, regulation, or
court order, provided the other party is promptly notified in writing before any disclosure
and afforded an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy from
the proper authority.
Modifications
We reserve the right to modify any of the terms and conditions contained in these
UNIONBAY Terms at any time and in our sole discretion by posting a change notice or
revised UNIONBAY Terms. The effective date of such change will be the date the notice
is provided. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING
THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SUCH CHANGE WILL CONSTITUE YOUR ACCEPTANCE
OF THE MODIFICATIONS. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU,
YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE
PROGRAM.
