Because some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, or limitations of liability for consequential or incidental damages, these limitations may not apply to you.
Donations
The website contains features (the “Online Payment Service”) that permit you to submit funds for COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.'s
With the authorization you provide through the Service or through the Online Payment Service (“Authorization”), your credit card will be charged or the bank account you have designated will be debited (either via one of the debit card networks by using your debit card or via the Automated Clearing House electronic payment system). You may schedule either payments for one-time donations or monthly donations (“Subscription Donations”) on an one-time or monthly basis. Pursuant to the Authorization, your credit card will be charged or your bank account will be debited to make payments to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.. Each time you use the Online Payment Service, you agree that COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. is authorized to process your payment and facilitate the charging of your credit card or debiting your bank account for the amount of your donatino and any other applicable fees that you have agreed to pay. Further, you grant to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. the right to transmit any information provided by you through the Online Payment Service to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of your Transactions.
You agree not to make a payment that exceeds your limits on your payment card account, transfer limits, or the balance of your bank account. Your agreement with your payment card issuer or financial institution where you have your bank account governs the use of your payment card or bank account, as applicable, and you must refer to that agreement to ascertain your rights and liabilities as a cardholder or account holder.
If COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. is unable to debit or charge the specified bank account or credit card for any reason, you shall immediately pay your donation using another payment method.

You represent and warrant to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. that you are the owner or the authorized agent for the owner of the bank account or credit/debit card used in each Authorization and that debits and charges made in accordance with these Terms will not be disputed. You further agree to provide current, complete, and accurate information for payments.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you are entering valid bank account or credit/debit card information as your payment source.
Payments initiated under the Online Payment Service will continue to be processed against your payment source until that information is changed as provided herein. For information on cancelling a Subscription to stop recurring charges please review the Subscriptions section below.
Verification may be required prior to the completion of a Transaction. Your initiation of a Transaction, including the provision of payment information, constitutes a request to donate to us. It does not mean that your purchase request has been accepted or that the price or availability of service has been confirmed. We reserve the right to refuse service or modify Transactions, and we shall have no liability to you other than refunding your payment, if applicable. If we make a change to or cancel a Transaction, we will attempt to notify you through the contact information in your account or otherwise provided through the Online Payment Service.
Your donation is treated as a personal gift to the COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC, and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC does not make any determination or representation that the donation is tax deductible.

Disputes & Arbitration
If there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. arising out of or related to your use of the Service or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of them (“Dispute”), you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree to resolve the Dispute through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this section, even if that Dispute arose prior to the Effective Date of these Terms.
Informal Dispute Resolution
You and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree to first attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each other a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. The party with the complaint (the “Complaining Party”) shall send written notice to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”).
All Dispute Notices must: (1) be signed by the Complaining Party; (2) include the Complaining Party’s name, physical address, and email address; (3) describe with specificity the nature and basis of the Dispute in a manner sufficient for the Receiving Party to evaluate the merits of the Complaining Party’s individualized claim, and (4) set forth the alleged damage and harm suffered and the specific relief sought with a calculation for it. Each Dispute Notice is limited to a single Dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. As such, your Dispute and the Disputes of other parties may not be combined into a single Dispute Notice.
Dispute Notices shall be sent to:
To COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.: You must send notice (1) by electronic mail to hello@baptize.org and (2) by first-class or certified mail to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC., ATTN: Website Dispute, 15253 BAKE PARKWAY IRVINE, CA 92618]
To You: We will send notice by (1) first class or certified mail to the physical address we have on file for you (if any) and (2) by email to the email address we have on file for you (if any). If we do not have any address on file for you, or if we are, for any reason, unable to provide notice via the contact information on file, we reserve the right to provide notice by other reasonable means.
You and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will attempt to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning on the date that a valid Dispute Notice is sent (the “Informal Negotiation Period”). During the Informal Negotiation Period, the parties are required to conduct an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. (the “Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to participate. COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel.
Both you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that the foregoing dispute resolution procedure (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure”) is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration or litigation against the other party. If any aspect or requirement of the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure has not been completed or satisfied, the parties agree that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction can enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitration or litigation and (ii) unless prohibited by law, no arbitration administrator shall accept or administer any arbitration or demand fees in connection with the Dispute.
Individual Arbitration
IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AND COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. AGREE THAT SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE IN COURT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS.
All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect (as modified by these Terms), before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/) (the “Minimum Standards”) if, and only if, it is determined by JAMS or the arbitrator that the Minimum Standards are applicable to the Dispute. The location of any hearings will be determined by the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted (1) solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator or (2) through a non-appearance-based hearing by teleconference or videoconference.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. For the avoidance of doubt, you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this section of the Terms or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgment.
At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for an arbitration hearing with respect to a Dispute, you or we may serve a written offer of judgment on the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitrator, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever is first, it shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitral forum) from the time of the offer.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, you or COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. may (1) bring an individual claim or elect to resolve a Dispute in small claims court in the United States consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply (so long as the action is litigated exclusively in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction) and (2) file an individual claim in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of its intellectual property rights (so long as the action is brought and maintained on an individual basis).
In addition, nothing in these Terms prohibits you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).
Survival
This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Disney, including any revocation of consent or other action by you to end your engagement with or use of the Service or any communication with us.
Severance
Any term of these Terms of Service which is wholly or partially void or unenforceable is severed to the extent that it is void or unenforceable. The validity of the remainder of these Terms of Service is not affected.
Governing Law
These Terms have been made in and shall be construed in accordance laws of the United States and the State of California, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law that would cause the law of any other jurisdiction to apply. Further, you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms.
Except for a dispute properly lodged in a small claims court in the United States, if any Dispute is not subject to arbitration, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California or a state court located in Orange County, California and that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
Miscellaneous
Force Majeure
COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will not be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance to the extent that such delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.’s reasonable control.
No Waiver
If COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or which COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. has the benefit of under any applicable law or regulation), such action or inaction shall not be taken to be a formal waiver of COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.’s rights, and all such rights or remedies shall still be available to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC..
C. Severability
If any part of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
D. Entire Agreement
These Terms (which, for avoidance of doubt, includes all Additional Rules) set forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to your use of the Service.
E. Interpretation
In these Terms, the words “include,” “includes,” and “including” are used in an illustrative sense and shall be construed as if followed by “without limitation.” Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms. Any limited or specific disclaimers or limitations of liability found in these Terms shall not limit the effect, force, or breadth of any other disclaimers or limitations of liability in these Terms. When these Terms refer to a decision or action that will or may be made or taken by COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC., such decision or action shall be made, taken, or refrained from in COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.’s sole discretion and judgment.
F. Assignment

Disputes & Arbitration
If there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. arising out of or related to your use of the Service or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of them (“Dispute”), you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree to resolve the Dispute through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this section, even if that Dispute arose prior to the Effective Date of these Terms.
Informal Dispute Resolution
You and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree to first attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each other a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. The party with the complaint (the “Complaining Party”) shall send written notice to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”).
All Dispute Notices must: (1) be signed by the Complaining Party; (2) include the Complaining Party’s name, physical address, and email address; (3) describe with specificity the nature and basis of the Dispute in a manner sufficient for the Receiving Party to evaluate the merits of the Complaining Party’s individualized claim, and (4) set forth the alleged damage and harm suffered and the specific relief sought with a calculation for it. Each Dispute Notice is limited to a single Dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. As such, your Dispute and the Disputes of other parties may not be combined into a single Dispute Notice.
Dispute Notices shall be sent to:
To COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.: You must send notice (1) by electronic mail to hello@baptize.org and (2) by first-class or certified mail to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC., ATTN: Website Dispute, 15253 BAKE PARKWAY IRVINE, CA 92618]
To You: We will send notice by (1) first class or certified mail to the physical address we have on file for you (if any) and (2) by email to the email address we have on file for you (if any). If we do not have any address on file for you, or if we are, for any reason, unable to provide notice via the contact information on file, we reserve the right to provide notice by other reasonable means.
You and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will attempt to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning on the date that a valid Dispute Notice is sent (the “Informal Negotiation Period”). During the Informal Negotiation Period, the parties are required to conduct an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. (the “Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to participate. COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel.
Both you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that the foregoing dispute resolution procedure (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure”) is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration or litigation against the other party. If any aspect or requirement of the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure has not been completed or satisfied, the parties agree that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction can enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitration or litigation and (ii) unless prohibited by law, no arbitration administrator shall accept or administer any arbitration or demand fees in connection with the Dispute.
Individual Arbitration
IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AND COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. AGREE THAT SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE IN COURT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS.
All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect (as modified by these Terms), before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/) (the “Minimum Standards”) if, and only if, it is determined by JAMS or the arbitrator that the Minimum Standards are applicable to the Dispute. The location of any hearings will be determined by the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted (1) solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator or (2) through a non-appearance-based hearing by teleconference or videoconference.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. For the avoidance of doubt, you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this section of the Terms or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgment.
At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for an arbitration hearing with respect to a Dispute, you or we may serve a written offer of judgment on the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitrator, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever is first, it shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitral forum) from the time of the offer.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, you or COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. may (1) bring an individual claim or elect to resolve a Dispute in small claims court in the United States consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply (so long as the action is litigated exclusively in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction) and (2) file an individual claim in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of its intellectual property rights (so long as the action is brought and maintained on an individual basis).
In addition, nothing in these Terms prohibits you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).
Survival
This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Disney, including any revocation of consent or other action by you to end your engagement with or use of the Service or any communication with us.
Severance
Any term of these Terms of Service which is wholly or partially void or unenforceable is severed to the extent that it is void or unenforceable. The validity of the remainder of these Terms of Service is not affected.
Governing Law
These Terms have been made in and shall be construed in accordance laws of the United States and the State of California, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law that would cause the law of any other jurisdiction to apply. Further, you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms.
Except for a dispute properly lodged in a small claims court in the United States, if any Dispute is not subject to arbitration, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California or a state court located in Orange County, California and that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
Miscellaneous
Force Majeure
COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will not be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance to the extent that such delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.’s reasonable control.
No Waiver
If COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or which COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. has the benefit of under any applicable law or regulation), such action or inaction shall not be taken to be a formal waiver of COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.’s rights, and all such rights or remedies shall still be available to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC..
C. Severability
If any part of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
D. Entire Agreement
These Terms (which, for avoidance of doubt, includes all Additional Rules) set forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to your use of the Service.
E. Interpretation
In these Terms, the words “include,” “includes,” and “including” are used in an illustrative sense and shall be construed as if followed by “without limitation.” Titles and headings to sections herein are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of these Terms. Any limited or specific disclaimers or limitations of liability found in these Terms shall not limit the effect, force, or breadth of any other disclaimers or limitations of liability in these Terms.

If there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. arising out of or related to your use of the Service or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of them (“Dispute”), you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree to resolve the Dispute through the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this section, even if that Dispute arose prior to the Effective Date of these Terms.
Informal Dispute Resolution
You and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree to first attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving each other a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. The party with the complaint (the “Complaining Party”) shall send written notice to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute (a “Dispute Notice”).
All Dispute Notices must: (1) be signed by the Complaining Party; (2) include the Complaining Party’s name, physical address, and email address; (3) describe with specificity the nature and basis of the Dispute in a manner sufficient for the Receiving Party to evaluate the merits of the Complaining Party’s individualized claim, and (4) set forth the alleged damage and harm suffered and the specific relief sought with a calculation for it. Each Dispute Notice is limited to a single Dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. As such, your Dispute and the Disputes of other parties may not be combined into a single Dispute Notice.
Dispute Notices shall be sent to:
To COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.: You must send notice (1) by electronic mail to hello@baptize.org and (2) by first-class or certified mail to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC., ATTN: Website Dispute, 15253 BAKE PARKWAY IRVINE, CA 92618]
To You: We will send notice by (1) first class or certified mail to the physical address we have on file for you (if any) and (2) by email to the email address we have on file for you (if any). If we do not have any address on file for you, or if we are, for any reason, unable to provide notice via the contact information on file, we reserve the right to provide notice by other reasonable means.
You and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will attempt to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning on the date that a valid Dispute Notice is sent (the “Informal Negotiation Period”). During the Informal Negotiation Period, the parties are required to conduct an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. (the “Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to participate. COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel.
Both you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that the foregoing dispute resolution procedure (the “Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure”) is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration or litigation against the other party. If any aspect or requirement of the Informal Dispute Resolution Procedure has not been completed or satisfied, the parties agree that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction can enjoin the filing or prosecution of any arbitration or litigation and (ii) unless prohibited by law, no arbitration administrator shall accept or administer any arbitration or demand fees in connection with the Dispute.
Individual Arbitration
IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AND COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. AGREE THAT SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU WAIVE, THE RIGHT TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU AND WE WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE IN COURT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE OR WILL BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION, INCLUDING DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS.
All such Disputes shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS) (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect (as modified by these Terms), before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/) (the “Minimum Standards”) if, and only if, it is determined by JAMS or the arbitrator that the Minimum Standards are applicable to the Dispute. The location of any hearings will be determined by the applicable JAMS rules, provided that if the claim is for $5,000 or less, you may choose to have the arbitration conducted (1) solely on the basis of the documents submitted to the arbitrator or (2) through a non-appearance-based hearing by teleconference or videoconference.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. For the avoidance of doubt, you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of this section of the Terms or the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgment.
At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for an arbitration hearing with respect to a Dispute, you or we may serve a written offer of judgment on the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitrator, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever is first, it shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitral forum) from the time of the offer.
Exceptions
Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, you or COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. may (1) bring an individual claim or elect to resolve a Dispute in small claims court in the United States consistent with any applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits that may apply (so long as the action is litigated exclusively in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction) and (2) file an individual claim in court to enjoin the infringement or other misuse of its intellectual property rights (so long as the action is brought and maintained on an individual basis).
In addition, nothing in these Terms prohibits you or us from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf (or vice versa).
Survival
This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Disney, including any revocation of consent or other action by you to end your engagement with or use of the Service or any communication with us.
Severance
Any term of these Terms of Service which is wholly or partially void or unenforceable is severed to the extent that it is void or unenforceable. The validity of the remainder of these Terms of Service is not affected.
Governing Law
These Terms have been made in and shall be construed in accordance laws of the United States and the State of California, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law that would cause the law of any other jurisdiction to apply. Further, you and COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms.
Except for a dispute properly lodged in a small claims court in the United States, if any Dispute is not subject to arbitration, you agree that the claim must be resolved exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California or a state court located in Orange County, California and that you submit to the personal jurisdiction of either of these courts for the purpose of litigating any such claim.
Miscellaneous
Force Majeure
COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. will not be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance to the extent that such delay is caused by events or circumstances beyond COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.’s reasonable control.
No Waiver
If COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or which COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC. has the benefit of under any applicable law or regulation), such action or inaction shall not be taken to be a formal waiver of COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC.’s rights, and all such rights or remedies shall still be available to COVER THE EARTH MINISTRIES INC..
C. Severability
If any part of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
