Nothing herein shall be construed to affect any manufacturer’s warranty that may be included with your product purchase.

Although BBQGuys uses reasonable efforts to ensure that all software provided at the Sites is suitable for use on a wide variety of computer systems, you should take reasonable and appropriate precautions to scan for computer viruses and ensure compatibility of the software with your specific computer system.

You agree that from time to time we may disable the Sites for indefinite periods of time or shut down the Sites at any time, without notice to you. The BBQGuys Parties will have no liability for any such issues.

BBQGuys does not represent or warrant that your use of materials displayed on the Sites will not infringe rights of third parties. Information published at the Sites may refer to products, programs or services that are not available in your country. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Sites, Site Content, and all products and services sold by BBQGuys (except as otherwise expressly provided in our Additional Terms or an applicable manufacturer’s warranty) are provided "AS IS", “as available,” and “with all faults”.

If you are dissatisfied with the Sites, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue accessing and using them. By accessing or using the Sites, you represent and warrant that your activities are lawful in every jurisdiction where you access or use the Sites. The BBQGuys Parties do not warrant that your use of the Sites is lawful in any particular jurisdiction, and the BBQGuys Parties specifically disclaim such warranties.

Some jurisdictions may not allow exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; WAIVER

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that under no circumstances, including negligence, will the BBQGuys Parties be liable to you or anyone else for any injury, loss, claim, or direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages (collectively, “Damages”) that result from the use of or inability to use the Sites, nor shall BBQGuys be responsible for any Damages whatsoever that result from mistakes, omissions, interruptions, deletion of files, errors, defects, delays in operation or transmission, or any failure of performance whether or not caused by events beyond BBQGuys’ reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of god, communications line failure, theft, destruction, or unauthorized access to the Sites’ records, programs, or services. Under no circumstances, including but not limited to a negligent act, will BBQGuys or its affiliates or agents be liable for any Damages of any kind that result from the use of, or the inability to use, the Sites, even if BBQGuys has been advised of the possibility of such damages or should have known of the possibility of such damages. In no event will the BBQGuys Parties total liability to you for all damages, losses or causes or actions exceed in total the amount paid by you, if any, to BBQGuys for a product or service ordered through the Sites or, in the event there has been no amounts paid, the amount of ten United States dollars ($10.00). The prior limitation on damages is not intended to limit the BBQGuys Parties’ obligation to pay prevailing party costs or fees if recoverable pursuant to applicable law. The limitations set forth in this section will not limit or exclude the BBQGuys Parties’ liability for personal injury or property damage caused by the BBQGuys Parties, or for the BBQGuys Parties’ gross negligence, fraud or intentional, willful, malicious or reckless misconduct.

By using the Sites, you hereby release the BBQGuys Parties from any and all claims, damages or losses of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that you may have against them arising out of or in any way relating to the Sites.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental, consequential, or other damages; as a result, the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you, and the foregoing paragraph shall not apply to a resident of New Jersey to the extent damages to such New Jersey resident are the result of BBQGuys’ negligent, fraudulent or reckless act(s) or intentional misconduct.

By accessing the Sites, you understand that you may be waiving rights with respect to claims that are at this time unknown or unsuspected, and in accordance with such waiver, you acknowledge that you have read and understand, and expressly waive, the benefits of section 1542 of the Civil Code of California, and any similar law of any state or territory which provides as follows:

“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold the BBQGuys Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, investigations, liabilities, judgments, settlements and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party, due to or, directly or indirectly, arising out of or directly or indirectly related to: (A) your User Content; (B) your use or misuse of the Sites or activities in connection with the Sites; (C) your breach of these Terms or the documents they incorporate by reference or anticipatory breach; (D) your violation of any laws, rules, regulations, codes, statutes, ordinances, or orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, including, without limitation, all regulatory, administrative and legislative authorities; (E) information or material transmitted through your computer, even if not submitted by you, that infringes, violates or misappropriates any copyright, trademark, moral or artist rights, trade secret, trade dress, patent, publicity, privacy or other rights of any person or similar matter; (F) any misrepresentation made by you; or (G) the BBQGuys Parties’ use of your information as permitted under these Terms, the Privacy Policy, or any other written agreement between you and BBQGuys. The BBQGuys Parties reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, and in such cases you agree to cooperate with us to defend such claim. You will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of a duly authorized employee of the BBQGuys Parties.

We will cooperate fully with any law enforcement officials and/or agencies in the investigation of any person or persons who violate the Terms.

Reporting Claims of Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Infringement

You may not use the Sites for any purpose or in any manner that infringes the rights of any third party. BBQGuys encourages you to report any content on the Sites that you believe infringes your rights. Only the intellectual property rights owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner can report potentially infringing content. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear, legally valid notices of copyright infringement that comply with the criteria established by Section 512(c)(3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

If you believe any materials on the BBQGuys website (the “Sites”) infringe your copyright, you may submit a notification by providing BBQGuys’ Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing or via email:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
3. A description of where on the Sites the material you claim is infringing may be found, sufficient for BBQGuys to locate the material (e.g., the URL).
4. Your name, address, phone number and email address (if any).
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Our designated copyright agent to receive DMCA Notices is:

We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice with BBQGuys’ copyright agent, because there may be penalties for false claims.

We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who (in our reasonable discretion) are repeat infringers. It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If we request additional information necessary to make your DMCA notice complete, please provide that information promptly. If you fail to comply, your DMCA notice may not be processed further. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.

Governing Law

Except as otherwise provided in the Binding Arbitration Agreement, these Terms and your use of the Sites will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, as applied to contracts entered into between Delaware residents and performed in Delaware. Any disputes arising out of these Terms or your use of the Sites not subject to Binding Arbitration will be heard only in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

As part of these Terms of Use, you and BBQGuys each agree as follows (the “Arbitration Agreement”).

1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Sites, use of the Sites, and/or these Terms or any Additional Terms (including, without limitation, the arbitrability of any claim or controversy), or to any aspect of your relationship with BBQGuys will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or BBQGuys may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). You agree that you must commence any arbitration or other claim within one (1) year after the dispute arises, otherwise the claim is permanently barred, which means that you will no longer have the right to assert a claim regarding the dispute. This Arbitration Agreement will apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of these Terms or any prior version of this Arbitration Agreement.
   If you agree to arbitration with BBQGuys, you are agreeing in advance that you will not participate in or seek to recover monetary or other relief in any lawsuit filed against the BBQGuys Parties alleging class, collective, and/or representative claims on your behalf. Instead, by agreeing to arbitration, you may bring your claims against the BBQGuys Parties in an individual arbitration proceeding (except for any Batch Arbitration, as described below). If successful on such claims, you could be awarded money or other relief by an arbitrator. You acknowledge that you have been advised that you may consult with an attorney in deciding whether to accept this agreement, including this Arbitration Agreement.
   The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
2. Process. To begin a claim, you must first send a letter describing your claim in detail, including your name and contact information, your legal claim, the specific facts giving rise to your claim (including the date(s) and amount(s) of any relevant transaction or interaction with us), and the requested relief) to BBQGuys’ Legal Department, 8151 Airline Highway, Baton Rouge, LA 70815. You and we agree to attempt in good faith to negotiate an informal resolution of your claim. If a resolution is not reached within thirty (30) days, you may commence an arbitration action as set forth herein. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys' fees and interest, will be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims will be subject to JAMS's most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS's rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. BBQGuys will be entitled to make an offer of judgment in the arbitration proceeding. If the offer of judgment is not accepted, and the award is not more favorable than the unaccepted offer, you will be solely responsible for all costs incurred by BBQGuys after the offer of judgment is made to the extent permitted by applicable law. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
3. Fees. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS's filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees, and you cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, BBQGuys will pay them for you. If the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, you agree to pay BBQGuys’ attorneys’ fees and costs in the arbitration, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
4. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and BBQGuys. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and these Terms (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.
5. Waiver of Jury Trial. You and BBQGuys hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and BBQGuys are instead electing that all claims and disputes will be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in paragraph (a) above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
6. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. Except with respect to Batch Arbitration (as defined below), all claims and disputes within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class basis, only individual relief is available, and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. In the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes will be resolved in a court.
   You and BBQGuys agree that, in the event that there are fifty (50) or more individual requests for arbitration of a similar nature filed against BBQGuys within an approximately thirty-day period (or otherwise in close proximity), regardless of the state(s) in which such claims are filed, JAMS will administer all such similarly situated arbitration demands on a collective basis as a single, consolidated arbitration (subject to a single set of fees, proceeding schedule, and, if required, hearing) before a single arbitrator in accordance with the requirements outlined elsewhere in this section, provided that – in the event that the arbitrator deems it impracticable or inequitable to administer all such claims collectively in a single arbitration – (s)he may group demands for arbitration into groups of not fewer than twenty (20) matters, plus a remainder group as needed (or as otherwise deemed by the arbitrator to be practicable, equitable, and in best keeping with the spirit of this provision) and arbitrate each group of matters as a single, consolidated arbitration (either structure a “Batch Arbitration”). You and BBQGuys agree (1) to work with JAMS in good faith to facilitate the resolution of disputes on a Batch Arbitration basis and (2) that requests for arbitration are of a “similar nature” if they arise out of the same event, agreement, or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Disagreements over the applicability of this Batch Arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class or collective arbitration or action of any kind, or any suit or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, under any circumstances other than those expressly set forth in this section.
7. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out by contacting us at BBQGuys’ Legal Department, 8151 Airline Highway, Baton Rouge, LA 70815, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your BBQGuys account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
8. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts will be of no force and effect and will be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
9. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with BBQGuys.
10. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, we agree that if BBQGuys makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice to BBQGuys.

Interpretation

If any provision of these Terms or applicable Additional Terms is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that provision will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. Any unenforceable provisions of the Terms or Additional Terms will be construed in a manner to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intention of the parties consistent with applicable law. These Terms (and the links contained herein) and any applicable Additional Terms state the entire agreement between the parties relating to use of the Sites. The Terms may not be amended except as provided above.

Miscellaneous

The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance by the other party of any provision of the Terms or to exercise any right under the Terms will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance, rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms or any Additional Terms shall be unlawful, void or unenforceable for any reason, then any such provision shall be deemed severable to the extent that it is lawful, void or unenforceable, but shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

If a court or other decision-maker should determine that any provisions of these Terms is overbroad, unfair or unreasonable, such provision shall be given effect to the maximum extent possible by narrowing or enforcing in part that aspect of the provision found overbroad or unreasonable. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms to any party at any time without any notice to you and upon such assignment we may be relieved of any further obligation hereunder. Terms may not be assigned by you without BBQGuys’ prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void. You represent to us that you have the authority to register with the Sites according to these Terms.

Any ambiguities in the interpretation of these Terms shall not be construed against the drafting party.

No amendment to or modification of these Terms, or action, or delay, will be binding unless in writing and signed by BBQGuys. Provisions of these Terms that would logically survive termination will survive the termination of these Terms for any reason (including without limitation, Disclaimer of Warranties; Waiver, Limitation of Liability; Waiver and Arbitration).

The communications between you and us use electronic means, whether you visit the Sites or send us emails or other electronic communications, or whether we post notices on the Sites or communicate with you via email or other electronic communications. You (1) consent to receive communications from us in an electronic form; and (2) agree that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that BBQGuys provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect your statutory rights.

BBQGuys will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform, including failure to deliver purchased products or services, resulting from causes outside its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God,

These Terms and any Additional Terms constitute the entire understanding between the parties as to subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings.
