Dispute Resolution

Both you and The YARD agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration, litigation or filing any claim against the other party.

Class Action Waiver

All actions or proceedings to brought to resolve any Dispute will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Both You and The YARD will not seek to have the Dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of both you and The YARD, as well as, any other party affected by the proceedings.

Non-Waiver

Severability

If any term or provision is declared invalid or unenforceable, that term or provision will be construed consistent with applicable law to the fullest extent permitted under the law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining terms of the T&C will remain in full force and effect.
