11. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Prohibition of Class Actions. This section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, and you and Ace Hardware Home Services each agree that this section is intended to satisfy the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.

YOU AND DETMER AND SONS AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE AT LAW OR EQUITY THAT HAS ARISEN OR MAY ARISE BETWEEN US IN CONNECTION WITH THE ONLINE SERVICES OR ANY SERVICES OFFERED ON THE ONLINE SERVICES WILL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL IMPACT HOW CLAIMS YOU AND DETMER AND SONS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. You and Ace Hardware Home Services agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Ace Hardware Home Services in connection with the Online Services shall be resolved exclusively through confidential, final, and binding arbitration; provided that either party may file suit in court seeking to enjoin infringement, misappropriation or misuse of its intellectual property rights. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings are available on the AAA's website at: www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, either you or Ace Hardware Home Services may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone and/or video conference or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on the other party subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone and/or video conference unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. You and Ace Hardware Home Services agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Ace Hardware Home Services agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person's or party's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party's individual claim(s). Any relief awarded cannot affect any other person or party. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO COMMENCE OR PARTICIPATE IN CLASS AND REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS. The arbitrator's award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.

12. Choice of Law. These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. For any disputes not subject to binding arbitration that arise out of or in connection with these Terms of Use, you and Ace Hardware Home Services hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in Illinois.
13. Indemnity. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Ace Hardware Home Services, its affiliates, and their officers, directors, members, employees, and agents (collectively, the " Ace Hardware Home Services Indemnitees"), from and against any claims, demands, liabilities, losses or expenses, including attorneys’ fees, made against or incurred by the Ace Hardware Home Services Indemnitees arising out of or in connection with your breach of the Terms of Use, your violation of law or the rights of Ace Hardware Home Services or any third-party, or your use of the Online Services.
