Great American Property Management and all affiliated companies and brands (“we,” or “us”) provides this website, its constituent webpages, and related websites (together, the “Sites”), and sells products to consumers, all subject to your agreement to these Terms & Conditions, which are final. By using the Sites, purchasing products form us, and/or registering with us, you agree to be bound fully by the provisions below, without change, as are published at such time. Please see Section 9, below, for the effective date of these Terms & Conditions.
THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS ARE AN ENFORCEABLE CONTRACT BETWEEN US WHICH AFFECTS OUR RESPECTIVE LEGAL RIGHTS AND INCLUDES A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION REQUIREMENT IN SECTION 4, WHICH IS SET FORTH BELOW.
We recommend you print out a copy of these Terms & Conditions for your records, and can download them here[DS1] . Upon request by you or us, we each agree to sign and provide to each other a signed copy of these Terms & Conditions.
1. Privacy & Security
Please read our Privacy Policy which is incorporated into these Terms & Conditions and governs your use of the Sites. By visiting our Sites or purchasing products from us, you agree with and consent to our Privacy Policy, including the information collection, analysis, and usage practices it describes. To the extent there is a conflict between the Privacy Policy and these Terms & Conditions, these Terms & Conditions will control to the fullest extent permitted by law.
2. Product Descriptions
We work hard to be as accurate as possible. Errors will be corrected when discovered. If you are unhappy with your purchase or product, we will abide by any promises or agreements we made with respect to your transaction, including any guarantees and our product guidelines.
3. Notice to California Residents – Proposition 65
California Proposition 65 requires that special warnings be provided when products contain chemicals known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm if the use of those products may cause exposure to those chemicals above specific limits. Please call us prior to ordering if you have any questions regarding the safety of these products.
Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1789.3, We provide users of the Sites with the following notice: You may report complaints to the Consumer Information Division of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at 800-952-5210.
4. Legal Disputes – The Requirement to Arbitrate
We hold our relationship with customers in the highest regard. We work hard to make things right with each and every customer. On occasion, a third party may be necessary to help us resolve our disputes, and this agreement limits us to arbitration (or small claims court, if a claim qualifies) in all such instances.
WE AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THAT WE CANNOT RESOLVE INFORMALLY SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
WE FURTHER AGREE TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY, TO THE LITIGATION OF DISPUTES IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY WAY IN A CLASS ACTION/CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHERWISE TO MAKE OR PROCEED WITH ANY CLAIM ON A COLLECTIVE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.
This arbitration agreement applies to all agents, attorneys, contractors, subcontractors, service providers, employees, and all others acting for, on behalf of, or under our direction, including all affiliated companies (including, but not limited to, parents, subsidiaries, and sibling corporations). This agreement is binding on you and us, as well as our respective heirs, successors, and assigns.
You and we agree that any claim between us involves commerce under, and is governed exclusively by, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and federal law, and not by any state or local laws, or the laws of other countries, concerning or purporting to place limits on the availability or scope of arbitration or in any way imposing requirements beyond or inconsistent with those set forth in the FAA. This agreement, however, does not prevent you from bringing any issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.
Arbitration Scope, Rules, and Requirements
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and discovery and court review of an arbitration award are limited. However, an arbitrator 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 these Terms & Conditions as a court would.
The arbitration or small claims court action shall occur in the United States in the county or parish in which you reside or at such other location in the United States which may be agreed upon by you and us. You may also choose to have any arbitration, whether commenced by you or us, conducted by telephone or based on written submissions only.
The arbitrator has the authority to and shall resolve all claims and issues arising between us, including, but not limited to, international, federal, state, and local statutory, regulatory, constitutional, and common law claims.
This arbitration requirement covers, but is not limited to, any and all claims arising from or related in any way to your use of the Sites, your registration with the Sites, your purchase of or attempt to purchase products from us, and your communications with us.
The arbitrator also has the sole authority to and shall address all claims or arguments concerning the formation, legality, and enforceability of this arbitration clause, the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of any claim or issue arising between us.
Any arbitration will be held before a single neutral arbitrator and will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Consumer Due Process Protocol (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") as currently in effect, and as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/consumer, by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. To the extent that there is a conflict between this clause and the AAA Rules, the arbitrator shall resolve such conflicts so as to preserve the parties’ mutual obligation to arbitrate claims on an individual basis.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to the AAA and to: Office of the President, our registered agent: Barbara de la Riva The AAA’s address is: American Arbitration Association Case Filing Services, 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100, Voorhees, NJ 08043. You may also send a copy to the AAA online at https://www.adr.org.
If you initiate an arbitration, we will reimburse you for any standard filing fee which may be required under the AAA Rules for claims under $10,000. For claims over $10,000, payment of such fees will be by a separate agreement between you and us. If we cannot agree on such payment, the arbitrator will decide how such fees should be paid and by whom. Each party shall be responsible for their own attorneys’ fees except as provided by applicable law or the AAA Rules.
We are committed to providing for dispute resolution at a reasonable cost to consumers consistent with the AAA Rules, and any matters related to such cost, if not agreed to by you and us, will be decided by the arbitrator.
5. Intellectual Property Rights
The Sites contain trademarks, copy, and designs that are owned by usand may not be used by you without our prior written authorization in connection with the sale of products and services, or used in any manner that is likely to cause confusion among our customers or wrongfully disparages or discredits us.
6. Waiver of Litigation Rights
IN THE EVENT THAT ANY CLAIMS BETWEEN US PROCEED IN A COURT OF GENERAL JURISDICTION, RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO ASSERT CLAIMS BY MEANS (OR AS PART) OF A CLASS ACTION. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT SUCH LITIGATION SHALL BE ASSERTED IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS ONLY.
