Governing Law; Venue

The Site is hosted in the United States of America and is intended for use by residents of the United States of America only. All matters relating to the Site are governed exclusively by the laws of the State of Nebraska in the United States of America and not the jurisdiction in which you are located.

By using the Site, you expressly agree that your rights and obligations shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Nebraska, excluding its choice of law rules. Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use or your access to or use of the Site, including but not limited to alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties (a “Dispute”), shall, except as specifically provided for in the Terms of Use or otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in Section 17 below.

Disputes

Both you and Boys Town (referred to collectively in only this Section 17 as “we”) agree that we are committed to avoiding adversarial proceedings of any kind and to seeking instead a system for collaboration that will best serve the needs of all. Accordingly, if we find ourselves in disagreement, we each commit to dedicate our efforts towards bringing ourselves back into agreement as quickly as possible by talking together honestly, openly, in good faith, and with a commitment to a sense of fairness for all involved.

Most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user’s satisfaction by emailing Boys Town customer service at training@liftwithboystown.org In the unlikely event that the Boys Town customer service department is unable to resolve a complaint you may have (or if Boys Town has not been able to resolve a dispute it has with you after attempting to do so informally), we each agree that such disputes shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in this Section 17, which shall survive any termination under the Terms of Use.

The provisions of this Section 17 may be enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, and the party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered.

Mediation

If we find that we are unable to reach resolution between ourselves by informal discussion, the parties may, by mutual agreement, attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Terms of Use or the Site by mediation, which shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Mediation Procedures (the “Mediation Procedures”) as then in effect and as modified by the Terms of Use, which Mediation Procedures are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Section 17.

Either party may request a mediation by providing to the other written notice setting forth the subject of the dispute, claim, or controversy, and the relief requested. Within ten (10) days after the receipt of the foregoing notice, each recipient shall deliver a written response to the sender to include whether or not the party agrees to said request for mediation. If one party does not agree to mediation, there shall be no mediation. If agreed upon, the mediation shall be held within thirty (30) days after the initial notice and governed solely by this section.

If mediation is agreed upon, we shall conduct the mediation in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A. and select a mutually agreeable mediator. If we are unable to agree upon a mediator within ten (10) days of the request for mediation, a mediator shall be appointed as set out in the Mediation Procedures. We shall agree to a mutually convenient date and time to conduct the mediation; provided that the mediation must occur within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the mediator unless a later date is agreed to by both parties in writing. Each party shall designate an executive to have full and complete authority to resolve the Dispute and to represent its interests in the mediation, and each party may, in its sole and absolute discretion, include any number of other representatives in the mediation process. At the commencement of the mediation, either party may request to submit a written mediation statement to the mediator.

The costs and expenses of the mediation shall be borne equally by each party to the Dispute, and each party shall bear its own fees, costs, and expenses; provided that, subject to the limitation provided in Section 11 above, the mediator shall have the right to allocate the costs and expenses between each party as the mediator deems equitable.

We each agree that our respective good faith participation in mediation is a condition precedent to pursuing any other available legal or equitable remedy, including arbitration, small claims court, or other dispute resolution procedures.

Furthermore, we each acknowledge and agree that mediations are settlement negotiations, and that, to the extent allowed by applicable law, all offers, promises, conduct, and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties or their agents shall be confidential and inadmissible in any arbitration or other legal proceeding involving the parties; provided, however, that evidence which is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation/collaborative process.

In the event of any conflict between the Mediation Procedures and the provisions of this Section 17, the provisions of this Section 17 shall govern and control.

Court and Arbitration

We each agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us that have not been settled through informal discussion or mediation through binding arbitration or in the State or Federal District courts located in Omaha, Douglas County Nebraska, as may be decided by the courts.

Arbitration Notice

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Boys Town should be addressed to:

General Counsel’s Office

Father Flanagan’s Boys Home

14100 Crawford St.

Boys Town, NE 68010

(“Notice Address”).

The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, either party may demand that the matter be referred for arbitration, but arbitration shall only be commenced by mutual agreement. If one party does not agree, then arbitration shall not be commenced. If the parties agree to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed solely by this section..

Arbitration Rules

Any arbitration shall be administered by the AAA under its the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the “Arbitration Rules”) as then in effect and as modified by the Terms of Use, which Arbitration Rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Section 17.

The arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators (the “Tribunal”). Each party shall each have the right to appoint one (1) arbitrator and the third arbitrator (who shall serve as the chairperson of the Tribunal) shall be appointed by the two party-appointed arbitrators within twenty (20) days after the date of the appointment of the last arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of the parties. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, the seat of the arbitration, and the place of all meetings and hearings in the arbitration, shall be in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and all evidence submitted shall be submitted in English.

Nothing in the Terms of Use or the Arbitration Rules shall limit the rights of either party to engage in reasonable discovery including in the form of written discovery and depositions, whether fact or expert, in order to obtain information necessary to prosecute or defend the Dispute. The Tribunal shall have the right to order reasonable discovery in connection with any Dispute.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by either party shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which the party is entitled.

The Tribunal is bound by the Terms of Use. All issues are for the Tribunal to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of the arbitration provision.

Arbitration can decide only the individual Dispute and the Tribunal may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. No Disputes may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. BY ENTERING INTO THE TERMS OF USE, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THE TERMS OF USE MUST BE ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision contained in the Terms of Use shall be null and void.

In the event of any conflict between the Arbitration Rules and the provisions of this Section 17, the provisions of this Section 17 shall govern and control.

Cooperation

If we agree to binding arbitration, we facilitate the arbitration by (a) cooperating in good faith to expedite (to the maximum extent practicable) the conduct of the arbitration, (b) making available to one another and to the Tribunal for inspection and extraction all documents, books, records, and personnel under their control or under the control of a person controlling or controlled by such party if determined by the Tribunal to be relevant to the Dispute, (c) conducting arbitration hearings to the greater extent possible on successive business days, and (d) using reasonable efforts to observe the time periods established by the Rules or by the Tribunal for the submission of evidence and briefs.

Fees, Costs, and Expenses

If we agree to binding arbitration, the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the fees of the Tribunal, shall be borne equally by each party to the Dispute, and each party shall pay its own fees, costs, and expenses; provided that, subject to the limitation provided in Section 11 above, the Tribunal shall have the right to allocate the costs and expenses between each party as the Tribunal deems equitable.

Tribunal Decision

If the matter is submitted for binding arbitration, the Tribunal shall provide a comprehensive written decision with detailed findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Tribunal shall decide any such Dispute strictly in accordance with the governing law specified in Section 16 above. The Tribunal shall not have the authority to award damages against either party in excess of the limitations of liability set forth in Section 11.

A decision, award or other action shall be considered the valid action of the Tribunal if supported by the affirmative vote of a majority of the arbitrators. The arbitration decision, award, or other action shall be final, conclusive, and binding on the parties and may be entered in, and enforced by, any court having competent jurisdiction. The parties expressly agree to waive the applicability of any laws and regulations that would otherwise give the right to appeal the decisions of the Tribunal so that there shall be no appeal to any court of law for the award of the Tribunal, and a party shall not challenge or resist the enforcement action taken by any other party in whose favor an award of the Tribunal was given.

Severability and Enforcement

If no such modification is possible, that provision will be severed from the rest of this agreement and will not impair the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions.
