The Platform may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about securities of an issuer which are located on the Platform.

The words "outlook," "believes," "expects," "potential," "continues," "may," "will," "could," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on the current assumptions and beliefs of the applicable issuer in light of the information currently available to it, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors.  Such risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results, performance, achievements or financial position to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements or financial position expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

  1. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration Agreement.

You and Company agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms of Use or your use of the Platform, including Products and services ordered or purchased through the Platform, shall be determined by binding arbitration instead of in courts of general jurisdiction. Arbitration is more informal than bringing a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitration allows for more limited discovery than in court. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, but in so doing, the arbitrator shall apply substantive law regarding damages as if the matter had been brought in court, including without limitation, the law on punitive damages as applied by the United States Supreme Court. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms of Use, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision and that you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR FORUM TO WHICH THEY MAY BOTH BE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER OR DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Use and any other contractual relationship between you and Company.  

If you desire to assert a claim against Company, and you therefore elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Company, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim ("Notice"). The Notice to Company should be addressed to 900 High St. Hanover, PA 17331, Attn: General Counsel ("Notice Address"). If Company desires to assert a claim against you and therefore elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. A Notice, whether sent by you or by Company, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Company or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration from the American Arbitration Association at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee after Company receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US $10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by requesting them from us by writing to us at the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of these Terms of Use, including this arbitration agreement. The parties will seek to have any arbitration hearings handled through video or telephone conference. If in-person hearings are required, they shall take place in Hanover, Pennsylvania. If your claim is for US $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of Company’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Company did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Company will pay you the amount of the award or US $1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Each party shall pay for its own costs and attorneys' fees, if any. However, if any party prevails on a statutory claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys' fees, or if there is a written agreement providing for payment or recovery attorneys’ fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to the prevailing party, under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.

YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Use shall prevent or impair either party’s right to seek specific performance, preliminary injunctive or other interlocutory relief in state or federal court prior to the commencement of or during the arbitration proceeding.

If this Agreement to Arbitrate provision is found to be unenforceable, then (a) the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, but the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in state or federal courts located in and for York County, Pennsylvania.


  1. Revisions; General
