Indemnification. You indemnify and hold FiveStar and the FiveStar Parties harmless from any claims, losses, damages and liabilities, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of your use or misuse of the Services, any violation by you of these Terms, or any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants made by you. FiveStar reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify FiveStar, and you agree to cooperate with FiveStar’s defense of these claims. FiveStar will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it. You agree that the provisions in this paragraph will survive any termination of your account(s) or of the Services.
Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between you and FiveStar, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and FiveStar agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy, at law or equity, that arises out of these Terms, the Services or our business in accordance with one of the subsections below or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution. We may consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
Law and Forum for Legal Disputes. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them, the Services or our business will be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Kentucky between Kentucky residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against FiveStar must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Louisville, Kentucky, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Louisville, Kentucky for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
The Services are operated out of the United States of America. We do not represent the content or materials present in the Services are appropriate for use in other locations. If you access the Services from a jurisdiction outside of the United States, you agree that you do so on your own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws where you reside or where you access the Services, if and to the extent that such laws are applicable to your use of the Services.
Arbitration Option. For any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, such person will initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, and the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against FiveStar must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. All claims filed or brought contrary to these provisions will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to these provisions, FiveStar will be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $1000, provided that FiveStar has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
Severability. You and FiveStar agree that if any portion of these Terms or of the FiveStar Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms, which will continue in full force and effect.
General Provisions
Assignment. FiveStar may assign or delegate these Terms and/or the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign or delegate any rights or obligations under the Terms or Privacy Policy without our prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment and delegation by you is void and ineffective.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, any supplemental policies and any documents expressly incorporated by reference herein (including our Privacy Policy), contain the entire understanding between you and FiveStar, and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and us with respect to the Services or their use.
Language. If we provide you with a translation of the English language version of these Terms, the Privacy Policy or any other policy (collectively “FiveStar Policies”), then you agree that the translation is provided for informational purposes only and does not modify the English language version of the FiveStar Policies. In the event of a conflict between a translation of the FiveStar Policies and the English version, the English version of the FiveStar Policies will control.
No Waiver. The failure of FiveStar to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms or the FiveStar Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of our right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by FiveStar of any provision, condition or requirement of these Terms or the Privacy Policy will not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
Except as expressly and specifically set forth in this these Terms, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by FiveStar will be deemed a modification of these Terms nor be legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by you and a duly appointed officer of FiveStar.
Notices. We may notify you via postings on the Services, or via e-mail or any other communications means to contact information you provide to Us. If you are a user in the United States, all notices given by you or required from you under these Terms or the FiveStar Privacy Policy must be in writing and addressed to: Newcomb Oil Co. LLC, Attn: Legal Department, 951 Withrow Court, Bardstown, KY 40004. You consent to receive communications from Us electronically. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy our legal requirements that such communications be in writing. Any notices that you provide without compliance with this section will have no legal effect.
Equitable Remedies. You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made under these Terms to FiveStar are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which will irreparably harm FiveStar and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, FiveStar will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety or proof of damages) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you.
