Any action not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in state or federal courts in South Dakota. You irrevocably consent to jurisdiction and venue and waive any inconvenient-forum objection.
⚠ CRITICAL WAIVERS — YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND YOUR RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT. DISPUTES MUST PROCEED THROUGH MANDATORY MEDIATION BEFORE ARBITRATION.
12.3 Step 1 — Pre-Dispute Notice & Good Faith Negotiation
The Claimant must provide written Dispute Notice setting forth: (1) the nature and factual basis of the claim; (2) specific relief sought with damages calculation; and (3) contact information. The parties shall negotiate in good faith for 30 days. Compliance is a mandatory condition precedent to mediation and arbitration.
12.4 Step 2 — Mandatory Mediation
If unresolved, the dispute shall be submitted to non-binding mediation administered by the AAA under its Consumer Mediation Procedures, before a single neutral mediator. All mediation communications are strictly confidential per S.D. Codified Laws § 21-25B-4. Each party bears its own fees; mediator costs are split equally. Mediation shall conclude within 60 days of the mediator’s appointment.
12.5 Step 3 — Binding Arbitration
If mediation fails, any remaining dispute shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration under AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, before a single arbitrator, on an individual basis only. The arbitrator’s award is final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award relief available at law, subject to the liability limitations herein.
12.6 Jury Trial Waiver
BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU EXPRESSLY, KNOWINGLY, AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR ANY PRODUCT. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ALL CLAIMS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL AND THAT THIS WAIVER IS MADE KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.
12.7 Class Action Waiver
ALL PROCEEDINGS SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR AWARD RELIEF TO NON-PARTIES. THIS WAIVER IS NON-SEVERABLE; IF FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THE ENTIRE ARBITRATION PROVISION IS VOID.
12.8 Small Claims Exception
Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it: (1) qualifies under jurisdictional limits; (2) is maintained on an individual basis; and (3) does not seek injunctive or declaratory relief affecting non-parties.
