The laws of certain jurisdictions do not allow for mandatory arbitration. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the mandatory arbitration requirements below may not apply to you, and you may have additional rights.

Except where and to the extent prohibited by law, by using the Sites, you and The OG’s agree that, if there is any controversy, claim, action, or dispute arising out of or related to your use of the Sites or the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of these Terms or any part of it, other than disputes relating toThe OGs’ intellectual property (“Dispute”), both parties shall first try in good faith to settle such Dispute by providing written notice to the other party describing the facts and circumstances of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent to:

  • Us at: The OG’s, ATTN: Privacy, 26 Corporate Circle, East Syracuse, NY 13057; and
  • You at: your last-used billing address or the billing and/or shipping address used upon check-out on this website.

Both you and The OG’s agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied before initiating any litigation or filing any claim against the other party. IF ANY DISPUTE CANNOT BE RESOLVED BY THE ABOVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE, YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION FOR SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. All such disputes shall be exclusively submitted to Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (www.jamsadr.com) for binding arbitration under its rules then in effect, before one arbitrator to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and The OG’s may exercise any rights under applicable law to bring an action before a court or tribunal, or to seek a legal remedy, to the extent that arbitration of such rights cannot be required by contract.

12. Choice of Law and Choice of Forum

Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to applicable law, these Terms have been made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of New York, New York, without giving effect to any conflict of law principles.
