Assumption of risk and waiver of liability. There are risks inherent in accessing and using services, including loss, theft, breach, misuse, or unauthorized use of personal information. You expressly assume these risks, will access and use the services at your own risk, and waive any and all claims against The Sports Haus, and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors, related to such access or use (including claims on behalf of minors on your membership) for any damage, loss, or injury of any kind sustained by you or any person on your membership caused as a result of The Sports Haus' negligence. This does not waive claims resulting from gross negligence, willful misconduct, or reckless disregard, unless prohibited by applicable privacy law.
Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Sports Haus and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors, from and against any and all loss, expenses, damages, costs, including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees, resulting, whether directly or indirectly, from your violation of this agreement.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties
You are accessing the services on an "as is, where is, and as available" basis. The Sports Haus is not responsible for problems arising from, or inadequacies in the content of the services or any particular features or services offered. The Sports Haus does not represent or warrant the accuracy, adequacy, or completeness of the information, materials, and services on the services or the error-free use of services.

8. Limitation of Liability
In no event will The Sports Haus and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners and licensors be liable to you or any third person for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, special or punitive damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses resulting from your access to or use of the services, your inability to use or malfunctions of the services, statements or conduct of any third party relating to the services.
9. Arbitration agreement with class action waiver
Mandatory Binding Individual Arbitration. Except as expressly provided below, The Sports Haus and I (each a “party” or, together, “us,” “we” or “parties”) agree that any dispute, claim, case, or controversy (whether based in tort, contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, equity or any other legal theory) between us (whether arising out of or relating to past, present or future acts or omissions) (“Claims”) shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court (“Arbitration Agreement”).
Waiver of Class Actions. We each agree that we will assert Claims in arbitration only in our individual capacity, and not as a representative or member of any purported class. We each agree that we will not participate in any class, mass, collective, consolidated, private attorney general or other representative arbitration proceeding. Each party agrees that the arbitrator has no authority to arbitrate Claims on a class-wide basis and shall not consolidate, combine, or jointly arbitrate Claims of more than one person in a single arbitration.
Waiver of Jury Trial. We waive our constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, electing instead to resolve by binding arbitration all Claims.
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. There are only three exceptions to this Arbitration Agreement:
Small Claims. Either party may bring individual Claims in small claims court.
Personal Injury Claims. Both parties must litigate personal injury Claims in court. For purposes of this exception, personal injury Claims are Claims arising from injury to the physical structure of the human body.
Emergency Equitable Relief. Either party may seek temporary injunctive relief or other equitable relief in court pending arbitration. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Procedures. Either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding, which will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator.
Arbitration Providers. Each party has a choice of initiating arbitration before either the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or JAMS, which are both established alternative dispute resolution providers (“ADR Providers”). If neither AAA nor JAMS is available to arbitrate, we will agree to select an alternative ADR Provider to administer the arbitration in this Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (available at www.adr.org) or JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (available at www.jamsadr.com) (“Arbitration Rules”). The rules of the ADR Provider will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Location. The arbitration hearing will be held at the ADR Provider’s location that is closest to the claimant’s primary residence, unless the claimant primarily resides outside the United States (in which case the arbitrator will give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings.)
Fees. Payment of all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Arbitration Rules.
Arbitrator’s Authority and Award. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of the parties, and the dispute 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 ADR Provider’s Rules, and this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator will issue a written award and reasoned 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. Any award will be subject to judicial confirmation or entry in any court having jurisdiction.
Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, will be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph will not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement or to enforce an arbitration award.
10. Waiver and Severability
To the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines any part of the terms and conditions in this Agreement to be invalid or unenforceable, that part will be modified by the court solely to the extent necessary to cause that part to be enforceable, and the remainder of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The Sports Haus’s failure to exercise or enforce a legal right, remedy or benefit which is contained in the Agreement or any applicable law does not constitute waiver of its right to do so later.
You have read, understand, and voluntarily agree to all of the Terms and Conditions of the agreement.
