Any dispute between the Company or its affiliates and any user of the P&P Sites will be resolved pursuant to the Dispute Resolution section in this Agreement. If the Dispute Resolution section does not apply to the claim in question or if the agreement to arbitrate has been cancelled pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, all disputes will be resolved by a state or federal court situated within the county of Dallas in the state of Texas, and each user hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for that purpose. The parties hereby agree to exclude the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
If you believe you have a dispute or claim against us arising out of your use of the P&P Sites and the P&P Content or under this Agreement, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with the Company for at least 30 days. To do that, you must give us written notice, which will include your full name and contact information, the nature and basis giving rise to your dispute or claim and your proposed resolution, sent to hall@pacificandplains.com Attn: Chief Operating Officer.
If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this section is enforceable, you understand and agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising under or in connection with this Agreement, including your use and access to the P&P Sites or any other P&P Content, including, but not limited to, claims as to whether any services rendered by P&P or persons employed or engaged by P&P were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered, shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures and Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures, and not by a lawsuit or resort to court process, except as Texas law provides for judicial review of arbitration proceedings. Any such arbitration will take place in Dallas, Texas. Each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. It is your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees as set forth in the AAA Rules.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BOTH PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
The parties further agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this agreement to arbitrate.
If you are not located in, are not based in, do not have offices in, and do not do business in the United States, any arbitration between you and P&P will be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Rules”) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules and will be administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce.
You may cancel this agreement to arbitrate by giving written notice to P&P within 30 days of the date of your acceptance. Should you choose to withdraw from the arbitration provision, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
You agree that we may modify the terms of this Agreement in our sole discretion, without advance notice, and that your right to access the P&P Sites is conditioned on an ongoing basis with your compliance with the then-current version of this Agreement. We will post a notice on this page for thirty (30) days following any revisions or modifications to this Agreement.

We assume no responsibility for your failure to actually receive notice. It will be your responsibility to review this page for possible modifications.
We may terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the P&P Sites at any time. We may restrict, suspend or terminate your access to the P&P Sites and/or to any P&P Content if we believe in our sole discretion that you are in breach of this Agreement or applicable law, or have otherwise engaged in any activities that may harm or damage the reputation, rights, person, or property of the Company, our users, or any other person.
Every provision of this Agreement shall be construed, to the extent possible, so as to be valid and enforceable. If any provision of this Agreement so construed is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, it shall be deemed amended in order to achieve as closely as possible the same effect as originally drafted. Any invalid or unenforceable portion should be construed as narrowly as possible in order to give effect to as much of this Agreement as possible.
Any section headings or titles in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall have no other meaning.
