23. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Connecticut without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule. Subject to the arbitration provisions in these Terms, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Connecticut. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.  

24. Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms, your use of the Services and all related matters, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury and you agree that the Company and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. You agree that any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class arbitration or class action. If you do not want to be bound by this arbitration provision, you may opt out. In order to opt out of this arbitration provision, you must notify us in writing that you do not want to resolve disputes with us by arbitration, and such notice should be delivered by mail to:

Stanley Black & Decker, Inc.,701 East Joppa Road,Towson, MD 21286 Attn: Legal Department,

within thirty (30) days of the earlier of (a) the date you first use or access the Services; and (b) the date you click or tap any button or box marked “accept,” “agree” or “ok” (or a similar term) in connection with these Terms.  

The arbitration will be administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (currently available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/) as amended by these Terms. Selection of the arbitrator shall be in accordance with the rules. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, provided that if you are a consumer (as defined by JAMS), you have a right to an in-person hearing in your hometown area. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such a determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s award will provide a written statement of the disposition of each claim, the award given and the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if applicable law allows, they can seek relief against us for you. If you are a consumer (as defined under JAMS rules), remedies that would otherwise be available to you under applicable federal, state, or local laws will remain available under this arbitration clause, unless you retain the right to pursue such remedies in court. As part of the arbitration, both you and we will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the claim.  

If you are a consumer (as defined under JAMS rules) and you initiate arbitration against the Company, the only fee required to be paid is $250 (the approximate cost of court filing fees) and all other costs will be borne by the Company, including any remaining JAMS Case Management Fee and professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. If the Company initiates arbitration against you and you are a consumer (as defined under JAMS rules), the Company will pay for all costs associated with the arbitration. The parties are responsible for paying their own attorneys’ fees. For arbitrations outside of California, the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party if such an award is allowed under applicable law. For arbitrations within California, the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award attorney's fees and costs to a claimant who does not prevail against the Company. 

25. Limitation of Time to File Claims

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 

26. Waiver

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right or any power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or power hereunder preclude further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any applicable purchase or other terms, these Terms shall govern.

 Under the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warranty and Notice ACT (“TCCWNA”), N.J.S.A. 56:12-14 et seq., consumers may not be offered any written contract which includes any provision that violates any clearly established legal right of a consumer, or responsibility of a BDUS, as established by state or federal law.
