International Use

IQAir provides this Site in and from the United States of America. IQAir does not represent or warrant that this Site or any IQAir Content is appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States of America. If you access this Site from a jurisdiction outside the United States of America, you acknowledge and agree that you do so of your own initiative and that you are solely responsible for complying with local laws applicable to your use of this Site.

Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions for Use of Site will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A. (without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof). You and IQAir agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall NOT apply to these Terms of Use or your use of this Site (including any purchase you make on this Site).

Arbitration Agreement

  1. You and IQAir agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to this Site or these Terms and Conditions for Use of Site, will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that: (1) either you or IQAir may assert claims, if they qualify, in a small claims court; and (2) IQAir may bring a court action solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of this Site, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights), without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute resolution process described in this arbitration agreement. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms and Conditions for Use of Site, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement, and that you and IQAir are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration agreement will survive termination of these Terms and Conditions for Use of Site and the termination of your relationship with IQAir.

  2. To initiate arbitration, you must first send to IQAir, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim ("Notice") and such Notice to IQAir must be addressed to:

  3. IQAir North America, Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 14351 Firestone Boulevard, La Mirada, CA 90638 ("Notice Address"). If IQAir initiates arbitration, IQAir will provide you with a similar Notice by email to the email address then associated with your account on this Site. A Notice, whether sent by you or by IQAir, must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (2) set forth the specific relief sought. If IQAir and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim or dispute within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or IQAir may commence an arbitration proceeding.

  4. You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after IQAir receives notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, IQAir will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000, in which event you will be responsible for filing fees.

  5. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules"), as modified by this arbitration agreement. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language and before a single arbitrator that is selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms and Conditions for Use of Site and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms of Use. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement.

  6. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely through the submission of documents to the arbitrator, via telephone or video conferencing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of IQAir's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if IQAir did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then IQAir will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse IQAir for all fees associated with the arbitration that IQAir paid on your behalf which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA Rules. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

  7. YOU AND IQAIR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and IQAir agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

  8. By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions for Use of Site, you explicitly agree that any claims arising out of or relating in any way to this Site or these Terms of Use that you may otherwise have against IQAir under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States of America are hereby waived, including, without limitation, any claims under the laws of your own country, and that your sole location and applicable law for resolving any dispute with IQAir arising out of or relating in any way to this Site or these Terms and Conditions for Use of Site, is in the United States of America pursuant to the terms of this arbitration agreement.

Force Majeure

IQAir will not be liable for any delay in performing any of its obligations if the delay is caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, such as failure of or interruption in the provision of essential services such as electricity supply, bank payment systems or postal deliveries.

Assignability
