LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
You are fully responsible for how you use this Site. You may not share your log-in information with anyone else, but if you do you are fully responsible for how they use the Site. You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Midway, its officers, directors, employees, service providers, vendors, affiliates, agents, licensors, and suppliers from and against all losses, expenses, damages and costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, resulting from any violation by you of these Terms.
INDEMNITY
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Midway, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or your violation of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, any use of the Site’s content, services and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use or your use of any information obtained from the Site.
ARBITRATION PROVISION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, and GOVERNING LAW
All matters relating to the Site and these Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
Any claim or dispute, whether in contract, tort, statue or otherwise (including the interpretations and scope of this Arbitration Provision, and the arbitrability of the claim or dispute), between you and Midway or our employees, agents, successors or assigns (“our”), which arises out of or relates to your use of this Site, credit pre-qualification, credit application, purchase or condition of a vehicle, this contract or any resulting transaction or relationship (including any such relationship with third parties who do not sign this contract) shall, at your or our election, be resolved by neutral, binding arbitration and not by a court action. If federal law provides that a claim or dispute is not subject to binding arbitration, this Arbitration Provision shall not apply to such claim or dispute.
Midway and you agree that claims may only be brought in an individual capacity and in the name of an individual person or entity and that claims must proceed on an individual and non-class and non-representative basis. That means you and Midway waive the right to bring a class action and cannot arbitrate any claim as a representative or non-representative member of a class. Midway and you agree that claims of two or more persons may not be joined or consolidated in the same arbitration unless arising from the same transaction. Furthermore, Midway and you agree that neither you nor Midway may pursue the claims in arbitration as a class or collective action, private attorney general action or other representative action. Claims may not be pursued in any court other than to enforce the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award relief only on an individual and non-class and non-representative basis. Accordingly, you and Midway agree that the AAA rules for class actions do not apply to our arbitration.
You may choose the American Arbitration Association, 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10019 (www.adr.org), or any other organization to conduct the arbitration subject to our approval. You may get a copy of the rules of an arbitration organization by contacting the organization or visiting its website. Arbitrators shall be attorneys or retired judges and shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. The arbitrator shall apply governing substantive law and the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in the federal district in Southern California which you reside unless the Creditor-Seller is a party to the claim or dispute, in which case the hearing will be held in the federal district where this contract was executed. We will pay your filing, administration, service or case management fee and your arbitrator or hearing fee all up to a maximum of $5,000, unless the law or the rules of the chosen arbitration organization require us to pay more. The amount we pay may be reimbursed in whole or in part by decision of the arbitrator if the arbitrator finds that any of your claims is frivolous under applicable law. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert, and other fees, unless awarded by the arbitrator under applicable law. If the chosen arbitration organization’s rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision, then the provisions of the Arbitration Provision shall control. Any arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1 et. seq.) and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Any award by the arbitrator shall be in writing and will be final and binding on all parties, subject to any limited right to appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. You and we retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court’s jurisdiction, unless such action is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court. Neither you nor we waive the right to arbitrate by using self-help remedies, such as repossession, or by filing an action to recover the vehicle, to recover a deficiency balance, or for individual injunctive relief. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. This Arbitration Provision shall survive any termination, payoff, or transfer of this contract. If any part of this Arbitration Provision, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. If a waiver of class action rights is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason in a case in which class action allegations have been made, the remainder of this Arbitration Clause shall be unenforceable.
