You have the right to receive any document in non-electronic form and to withdraw your consent to electronic delivery at any time by contacting RPM Lenders’s Customer Service Department at (310) 717-1131 or by emailing info@rpmlenders.com.
The RPM Lenders Privacy Policy, hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement, explains the policy applicable to the information that is collected through the Website or received directly from you.
As a condition of use of the Website and/or services, you agree to indemnify RPM Lenders from and against any and all liabilities, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and damages arising out of claims resulting from your use of the Website, including without limitation any claims alleging facts that if true would constitute a breach by you of this Agreement.
In no event will RPM Lenders have any liability to you in excess of actual compensatory damages. You irrevocably waive any claim to consequential, punitive or exemplary damages.
The Website may contain links to websites maintained by third parties. Such links are provided for your convenience and reference only. RPM Lenders does not operate or control in any respect any information, software, products or services available on such websites. RPM Lenders’s inclusion of a link to a website does not imply any endorsement of the services or the website, its contents, or its sponsoring organization. When you leave the Website please note that RPM Lenders is not responsible for the accuracy or content of the information provided by that website, nor is it liable for any direct or indirect technical or system issues arising out of your access to or use of third party technologies or programs available through that website. RPM Lenders is not responsible for any errors or delays in responding to a request or referral form caused by, including but not limited to, an incorrect email address provided by you or other technical problems beyond our reasonable control.
Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of the Website, to the goods or services provided by RPM Lenders, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend RPM Lenders is liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (“Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) dated September 15, 2005. The arbitration shall be venued in consumer location reasonably convenient to the consumer. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, the parties shall agree on an arbitrator mutually agreeable to both parties. Should the AAA decline to accept a matter submitted for individual (non-class) arbitration under these Terms of Use, the parties shall jointly select another arbitrator. In the event the parties are unable to agree on a neutral arbitrator, the claimant may file suit in any court of competent jurisdiction solely for the purpose of requesting the appointment of an arbitrator for individual (non-class) arbitration, as provided for in Section 5 of the Federal Arbitration Act. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefor.
Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of arbitration under this agreement with arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND RPM LENDERS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU THUS GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY.
You are entitled to a fair hearing, and the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court. By using RPM Lenders’s goods, facilities and services, you consent to these restrictions. Should a Dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and RPM Lenders, the parties agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Los Angeles County, California. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees.
This Agreement (which hereby incorporates by reference any other provisions applicable to use of the Website, including, but not limited to, any supplemental terms governing the use of certain specific material contained in the Website and any operating rules for the Website established by RPM Lenders) constitutes the entire agreement between you and RPM Lenders and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, promises and proposals, whether oral, written or electronic, between you and RPM Lenders with respect to the Website and information, software, products and services associated with it. This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of laws principles. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision, and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved.
