If you have any claim or cause of action, or you believe there is a dispute between us, we encourage you to submit it to us promptly so we have the opportunity to address it and correct it with you.  Any Dispute you have shall be filed within one (1) year from the earlier of the date the dispute arose or occurred or the date when you should have learned of the facts giving rise to the Dispute, even if you did not appreciate or know the full extent of any damages.  You expressly waive any different statute of limitation or time bar, both legal and equitable.  Either you or we may submit a dispute to mediation by providing written notice to the other, with such notice containing the following: (a) your or our correct legal name and physical address, (b) the nature of the dispute and the facts giving rise to the dispute, (c) the damages and remedy sought, and (d) pertinent documentation regarding the dispute. Thereafter, we and you will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter, and if not submit the matter to Mediation for binding resolution.

 

Applicable Law

​

The Covenant of Tython  and You agree that the Federal Mediation Act, as applicable, and the laws of the state of Texas, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern any dispute that may arise between us (including a “Dispute” as defined herein) and these Terms and Conditions of Use.  To the extent of any legal action filed in Court involving The Covenant of Tython, except for a small clams action, whether to confirm or challenge an award or ruling in Mediation, to challenge these Terms and Conditions or the validity or enforce ability of any term or provision, or otherwise, you and we agree that venue shall be in Harris County Superior Court.  You and We agree to the jurisdiction of that Court over our persons and the subject matter, and waive any defense or objection to either the jurisdiction or location, whether for inconvenience or otherwise.  A small action shall be filed in Harris County District Court, and you agree to the jurisdiction of that Court over you and the subject matter, and waive any defense or objection to the jurisdiction or location.
