MAINGEAR shall have no liability or responsibility to you or anyone else in connection with any payment or attempted payment, including for any charges incurred in connection with any failed payments, or any information or data provided in connection with any payment or attempted payment, for any Product on or through the Site.

All purchases of Products will incur additional fees for shipping and handling unless otherwise expressly indicated at the time of sale. Any loss or damage that occurs during shipping by a carrier selected by MAINGEAR is MAINGEAR’s responsibility. Loss or damage that occurs during shipping by a carrier selected by you is your responsibility.

Please contact your credit card issuer to change your authorized shipping address.

You must notify MAINGEAR of damaged or missing items from your order within fourteen (14) calendar days after you receive your product or MAINGEAR will not be responsible for any forthcomings. MAINGEAR reserves the right to change the shipping carrier for any system to an LTL freight carrier or a hand delivery via courier service at our discretion, without prior notice, in order to ensure safe and secure delivery of applicable Products. Freight and courier delivery service is “curbside” only and drivers are not authorized to bring your purchased Products into your residence or office for you.

Procedure for Making and Responding to Claims of Copyright Infringement.
We will respond to claims of copyright infringement, and will promptly process and investigate notices of alleged infringement by third-parties and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2), where applicable. In keeping with the DMCA, notifications of claimed copyright infringement by third parties should be sent to MAINGEAR’s designated agent (the “Designated Agent”). If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed under U.S. copyright law and is accessible on the Site, please notify us by contacting the Designated Agent.

To give effective notification of a claim of copyright infringement by a third-party under the DMCA, you must send a written communication to the Designated Agent that includes substantially the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identification of the copyrighted work, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works that are claimed to have been infringed; (3) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material on the Website; (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit Website to contact the complaining party, such as an address or telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (5) a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that neither the copyright owner, nor its agent nor the law has authorized the use of the material in the manner complained of; and (6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

The Designated Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement can be reached at:
MAINGEAR, Inc.
4 Powder Horn Drive,
Warren, New Jersey 07059
Attn: Designated Copyright Agent
contact@maingear.com

If a valid notification of alleged copyright infringement is received, we will remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice as being infringing or as being the subject of infringing activity, and take reasonable steps to notify the alleged infringer that this material has removed or had access disabled. Please note that under the DMCA, an alleged infringer has the right to submit a counter-notice to have the allegedly infringing material re-published on the Site. Should that occur, you will receive notification from us and, should you wish to have the material subsequently removed, you will be required to file a copyright infringement claim in a U.S. federal court.

Additionally, a claimant who makes a misrepresentation concerning copyright infringement may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer who is injured by the misrepresentation as a result of reliance upon the misrepresentation by us in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.

SECTION 22 – GOVERNING LAW

SECTION 23 – BINDING ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION – IMPORTANT
By using the Products and/or the Site, you agree that any dispute, claim or controversy of any kind arising out of, under or related in any way to any of the Products, the Site, these Terms or any relationship or alleged relationship between you and MAINGEAR, including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof (including this Arbitration provision) (each a “Dispute”) shall be resolved solely and exclusively through binding, individual arbitration, and not through joinder, class action, or any representative or other proceeding.

The sole exception to the obligation to arbitrate any Dispute is that you and MAINGEAR reserve the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief in connection with any party’s infringement or misappropriation of any intellectual property or intellectual property rights granted herein exclusively in the courts of the State of New Jersey. In connection therewith, you and MAINGEAR hereby expressly waive any objection to such jurisdiction and venue on any basis, including that the forum is inconvenient or that you or MAINGEAR is not otherwise subject to such jurisdiction.

To the extent required by any applicable law for the enforcement of this Arbitration provision, you may opt out of this mandatory Arbitration provision by providing explicit written notice, including the term “Arbitration Opt-Out” in the subject line, to MAINGEAR at contact@maingear.com within thirty (30) days of your purchase of your MAINGEAR Products, or with respect to any disputes involving the Website, within thirty (30) days of your initial visit to the Website. By opting out of mandatory Arbitration, you are not waiving or opting out of the mandatory jurisdiction and venue provisions of these Terms.

You agree that before initiating Arbitration as required herein, you shall first attempt in good faith to negotiate and informal or formal resolution of your Dispute through a written notice (the “Dispute Notice” to MAINGEAR at contact@maingear.com. The Dispute Notice must identify the nature of the Dispute, the relief you seek, and any other facts you deem relevant to the Dispute. If the parties are unable to resolve your Dispute within thirty (30) days, you may then file an Arbitration demand pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

If you have not opted out of Arbitration, and if the Dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days of MAINGEAR’s receipt of the Dispute Notice for purposes of Disputes you seek to have resolved, either party may submit the Dispute (as the sole mechanism for formal Dispute resolution) to the American Arbitration Association for binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). The Arbitration shall be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. You agree that any such Arbitration shall take place solely in the State of New Jersey, County of Union. The arbitrator’s decision in any such Arbitration will be final and binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the Arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the Arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the Arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.

You hereby waive your right to act as a class representative or private attorney general, and to participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Dispute. Disputes may not be arbitrated or litigated on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator can decide only your individual Dispute. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this section shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of this section of the Terms will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms. This section will survive the termination of your relationship with MAINGEAR.

THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU OR MAINGEAR WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

In the event we prevail in any dispute with you relating to the activities between you and us governed by this Agreement, you shall reimburse us for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, experts’ and professionals’ fees, costs, and expenses incurred by us in connection with such dispute.
