You agree that any arbitration under this Terms of Use will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (currently accessible at https://www.adr.org/Rules) as amended by this Terms of Use. Any arbitration hearing will be held in Chicago, Illinois. The applicable governing law will be as set forth below (provided that with respect to arbitrability issues, federal arbitration law will govern).

The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Terms of Use, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Arbitration Agreement and related terms and conditions are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Website Terms of Use, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of Illinois.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Commercial Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of Illinois and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of commercial dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Unless you and SSP Global forwarding otherwise agree in writing, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. An arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. The party who prevails in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Arbitration Agreement; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in the state or federal courts in Chicago, Illinois and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) this End User Software License Agreement or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Mobile App will be settled on an individual basis by binding arbitration between you and SSP Global forwarding, and not in a court of law. You acknowledge and agree that you and SSP Global forwarding are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Unless both you and SSP Global forwarding otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and SSP Global forwarding each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and 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. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Arbitration Agreement will survive any termination of this End User Software License Agreement.

The parties agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Arbitration Agreement and related terms and conditions are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in this End User Software License Agreement, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of Illinois.
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Commercial Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of Illinois and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of commercial dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Unless you and SSP Global forwarding otherwise agree in writing, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. Your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. An arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. The party who prevails in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Arbitration Agreement; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in the state or federal courts in Chicago, Illinois and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
No Assignment. You may not assign this Agreement or otherwise transfer any rights or claims you may have hereunder, in whole or in part; any attempt to do so shall be void. We may assign this Agreement without restriction.
Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the terms herein to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement will continue in effect and remain fully enforceable.
