c. Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent
If the content provider, member or user believes that the material that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or the content provider, member or user believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, the content provider, member or user must send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Designated Agent listed below:

15. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Georgia, without regard to its choice of laws principles. The Website is controlled, operated, and administered from within the USA. If you access the Website from a location outside of the USA, you are responsible for compliance with all local laws.

16. Jurisdiction and Venue

Each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Georgia; provided, however, that any decision by any such court may be appealed to the appropriate appellate court or courts. Each party hereby waives any objection it might otherwise have to venue in any of such courts.

17. Arbitration

a. Before initiating an arbitration, the initiating party agrees to first provide the other party a written notice ("Notice of Dispute"), which shall contain: (a) a written description of the problem and relevant documents and supporting information; and (b) a statement of the specific relief sought. A Notice of Dispute can be (1) mailed to us at: JoAnn Corley Companies, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 3390 Lake Breeze Ct., Villa Rica, GA 30180 or (2) emailed at: support@joanncorley.com. We will provide a Notice of Dispute to you via the physical address or email address in our possession (the "Notice Address").
Both parties agree to make attempts to resolve the Dispute prior to commencing an arbitration and not to commence an arbitration proceeding until a 45-day post-notice resolution period expires. If an agreement cannot be reached within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the Notice of Dispute, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding

b. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS, DISAGREEMENTS, DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN US (YOU AND JOANN CORLEY COMPANIES, INC.), AND OUR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS, PARENTS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES AND/OR RELATED COMPANIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, TO THE USE OR ACCESS THEREOF, TO THE PRODUCTS, SERVICES, MATERIALS, PROGRAMS OR OTHER FEATURES OFFERED ON OR THROUGH THE WEBSITE, AND/OR TO THE APPLICATION, ENFORCEABILITY, SCOPE, OR INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ("DISPUTES") SHALL BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION (1) ADMINISTERED BY THE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION AND MEDIATION SERVICES, INC. ("JAMS"), PURSUANT TO THE JAMS STREAMLINED ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2014 (THE "JAMS RULES"), AND AS MODIFIED BY THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; (2) CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE, NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR; AND (3) TAKE PLACE TELEPHONICALLY UNLESS AN IN-PERSON HEARING IS SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED BY EITHER PARTY, IN SUCH CASE IN-PERSON HEARINGS SHALL TAKE PLACE IN GEORGIA. TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE CONFLICTS WITH THE JAMS POLICY ON CONSUMER ARBITRATIONS PURSUANT TO PRE-DISPUTE CLAUSES MINIMUM STANDARDS OF PROCEDURAL FAIRNESS (THE "MINIMUM STANDARDS"), THE MINIMUM STANDARD IN THAT REGARD WILL APPLY.

DISPUTES MAY ALSO BE REFERRED TO ANOTHER ARBITRATION ORGANIZATION IF WE (YOU AND JOANN CORLEY COMPANIES, INC.) AGREE IN WRITING, OR TO AN ARBITRATOR APPOINTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5 OF THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. To commence an arbitration, a Demand for Arbitration is required to be executed and served on us. Service of the Demand for Arbitration on us can be mailed to JoAnn Corley Companies, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 3390 Lake Breeze Ct., Villa Rica, GA 30180, pursuant to the instructions provided by JAMS to submit a Dispute for arbitration. Service of the Demand for Arbitration on you will be sent to the Notice Address. Further instructions on submitting a Demand for Arbitration can be found at www.jamsadr.com/files/Uploads/Documents/JAMS_Arbitration_Demand.pdf. We will bear the cost of your initial filing fee.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms.

BECAUSE THE WEBSITE CONCERNS INTERSTATE COMMERCE, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT ("FAA") GOVERNS THE ARBITRABILITY OF ALL DISPUTES. HOWEVER, APPLICABLE STATE OR FEDERAL LAW MAY ALSO APPLY TO THE SUBSTANCE OF ANY DISPUTES. YOU AND WE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU OR WE HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL.

c. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED INDIVIDUALLY, WITHOUT RESORT TO ANY FORM OF CLASS ACTION. NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS IN ARBITRATION BY OR AGAINST OTHER USERS/CONSUMERS OR ARBITRATE, AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY, ANY DISPUTE. Further, unless both parties expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claim. If this prohibition of class, representative, or consolidated arbitration is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.

18. Entire Agreement

These Terms are intended by the parties as a final expression of their understanding and as a complete and exclusive statement of its terms and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements between them, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in these Terms shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue to be valid and binding to the extent that they continue to effectuate the intent of the parties as of the date of these Terms, or of any subsequent modification or amendment of these Terms. Acceptance of, or acquiescence in, a course of performance rendered under these Terms shall not operate as a modification of these Terms or a waiver of any provision of these Terms. These Terms may be modified only by an instrument signed by both parties.
