9) Applicable Law; Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver

Governing Law:  The laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles, will apply to all disputes based on, arising out of, or relating to your use of this Site or any information it contains.

Dispute Resolution:  In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Galera in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Galera agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms of Use shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms of Use, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms of Use. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, YOU AND Galera ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

Exceptions:  Notwithstanding the above, we both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (a) bring an individual action in small claims court, (b) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

Arbitrator:  Any arbitration between you and Galera will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org.

Notice Process:  A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required) or, in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Galera’s address for Notice is: 2 West Liberty Boulevard, Suite 110, Malvern, PA 19355. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Galera may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Galera shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.

Fees: In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Use, Galera will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Galera for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

NO CLASS ACTIONS:  YOU AND GALERA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Galera agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Opt Out: You may opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you opt out, neither you nor Galera can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must send notice to Galera no later than 30 calendar days from the date of first Payment Transaction: (a) sending an e-mail to , with the subject line: “Arbitration Opt Out” or (b) calling 610-725-1500. Email and telephone are the only two forms of notice that will be effective to opt out of this dispute resolution procedure. If you do not opt out, then you accept all terms and conditions in this Section 9.
