9. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
9.1 Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
9.2 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal dispute resolution, the party asserting a claim must provide written notice to the other party describing the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. The parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of such notice. This informal resolution period is a condition precedent to initiating arbitration or litigation.
9.3 Binding Arbitration
If informal resolution is unsuccessful, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified herein. The arbitration shall be conducted in Chicago, Illinois, or by remote means if agreed by the parties. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
9.4 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND THE SPARROWS GROUP LLC EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
9.5 Small Claims Carve-Out
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may elect to bring an individual claim in small claims court in Cook County or Sangamon County, Illinois, provided the claim qualifies for small claims jurisdiction and remains an individual (non-class) action.
9.6 Injunctive Relief Carve-Out
Nothing in this Section prevents either party from seeking emergency injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent irreparable harm pending the outcome of arbitration, including claims arising from unauthorized use of intellectual property or confidential information.
9.7 Arbitration Costs
The AAA filing fees shall be allocated in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the arbitrator determines that a claim or defense was frivolous or brought in bad faith, in which case the arbitrator may award fees to the prevailing party.
9.8 Exclusive Jurisdiction for Non-Arbitration Matters
For any matter not subject to arbitration under this Section (including injunctive relief and small claims), the parties irrevocably consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Sangamon County, Illinois, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.
10. Force Majeure
The Sparrows Group LLC shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance under these Terms to the extent caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics or public health emergencies, war, terrorism, civil unrest, government action or regulation, trade restrictions, sanctions, internet or telecommunications outages, cyberattacks, or disruptions to third-party service providers. This provision applies to website availability and any obligations arising from these Terms; it does not limit liability for client service obligations governed by separate agreements.
11. No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver of any term shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term. Any waiver must be made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of The Sparrows Group LLC to be effective.
12. Changes to These Terms
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective upon posting to the Site with a revised “Last Updated” date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms. For material changes, we will make reasonable efforts to provide notice, such as a prominent notice on the Site.
13. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. If a provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, it shall be severed from these Terms, and the remaining provisions shall remain valid and enforceable.
14. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and The Sparrows Group LLC with respect to your use of the Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications, understandings, or agreements relating to the same subject matter. These Terms do not govern any client service engagements, which are subject to separate written agreements.
