Dispute Resolution.

Any Dispute will be resolved through arbitration in San Francisco, California, under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. You may not join or participate in class actions. This section does not prevent Us from seeking injunctive relief or enforcing intellectual property rights.

Arbitration.  Any dispute, claim, controversy, action, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the services (a “Dispute”) will be determined by arbitration in San Francisco, California before a single arbitrator.  The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration in accordance with the AAA rules.  The claimant party filing a demand for arbitration with the administrator of AAA and serving the demand on the opposing party will initiate the arbitration.  You and RAIL will select an arbitrator in accordance with the applicable AAA rules, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date the demand for arbitration is filed.  Except as otherwise required by law, neither you, RAIL, nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, contents, or results of any arbitration under this Agreement without the prior written consent of you and RAIL. Any award of the arbitrator will be accompanied by a statement of the reasons upon which the award is based.  This Section will not preclude You or RAIL from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

Conflict. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the code of procedure established by the AAA, the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.

Time to File.  Any cause of action or claim you may have arising out of or relating to the Terms or the Website must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues.  Otherwise, such cause of action or claim is permanently barred.

Governing Law.  These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. This Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. 

Injunctive Relief.  We may seek injunctive relief for violations of these Terms or intellectual property rights.

Termination.  We may restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to the Website if you violate these Terms. We may also modify or discontinue the Website or its services at any time without prior notice.

General.  These Terms, together with Our Privacy Policy, constitute the complete and exclusive agreement between you and RAIL concerning your use of the Website, and supersede and govern all prior proposals, agreements or other communications.  Nothing contained in these Terms shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between RAIL and you.  Nothing contained in these Terms provides any person or entity not a party to these Terms of Use with any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement, or cause of action, or creates any third party beneficiary rights.  Our failure to enforce or exercise any provision or right hereof shall not constitute a waiver of such provision or right, nor shall Our waiver of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of that provision at any other time.  In the event that any provision of these Terms shall be declared unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in force and effect.
