8. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

You agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of this Site and any of the matters herein shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, unless you opt out of this Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”) using the process below. You understand and agree that you are waiving your right to sue or go to court to assert or defend your rights. However, you may bring an individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. The term “dispute” means any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between you and ZOLL, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

Right to Opt Out of this Arbitration Agreement. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the first 30 days after the first time you use this Site. You may opt out by sending an email to ZOLL at info@zoll.com or by sending a letter to ZOLL, Attention: Legal Department, ZOLL Medical Corporation, 269 Mill Road, Chelmsford, MA 01824. You should include your printed name, mailing address, and use the words “Reject Arbitration for ZOLL Website” in a subject line.

How Arbitration Works. If you initiate arbitration, it shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA's website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, you and ZOLL shall mutually agree to another arbitration provider. Unless ZOLL agrees to conduct arbitration by teleconference, videoconference, or otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall take place in Boston, Massachusetts.

Waiver of Right to Bring Class Action and Representative Claims. If you initiate arbitration against ZOLL, it shall proceed on an individual basis only. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST ZOLL IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND IN SO DOING, YOU HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION, ANY PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LAWSUIT OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION, AND ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, including injunctive relief. If a court should decide that the limitations of this particular paragraph regarding class action waiver are deemed invalid or unenforceable, any putative class, private attorney general, or representative action must be brought in a state or federal court sitting in the City of Boston in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and not in arbitration.

Governing Law and Other Terms. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of this Arbitration Agreement, or to any disputes and claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will govern.

Except as set forth above with respect to the class action waiver, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. Only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, you agree that any issue concerning the validity of the class action/representative waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of the waiver. In the event that this Arbitration Agreement does not apply to a given dispute, then the parties agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Boston in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to resolve such claims.  

9. Miscellaneous
   This Agreement is governed by the internal substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. Failure of ZOLL to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against ZOLL unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between you and ZOLL with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. ZOLL may discontinue the Site, including any feature or service offered through the Site, at any time and for any reason, without notice. ZOLL may change the contents, operation, or any and all other features of the Site at any time for any reason, without notice. ZOLL may discontinue or restrict your use of the Site at any time for any reason, without notice.
