10.                Governing law and dispute resolution

The Service is controlled, operated and administered in Sweden by Husqvarna from its office in Sweden. If you access the Service outside of Sweden, you are responsible for compliance with all local laws. This License Agreement and any use of the Service shall be construed in accordance with and governed by Swedish law, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions. The Stockholm District Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction in first instance on any disputes arising from this License Agreement; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the application and enforcement of mandatory and applicable law.

If you are a U.S. resident then all matters arising out of or relating to these Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of North Carolina without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of North Carolina or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of North Carolina. 

ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION. 

 

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (”AAA”) and the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section. 

 

 Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding upon the parties and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, a single arbitrator selected by the parties shall conduct the arbitration, or, if the parties are unable to agree, the AAA shall select the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be held in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the arbitrator shall be required to issue a reasoned written decision with respect to any determination. The arbitrator shall be empowered to award money damages but shall not be empowered to award punitive, exemplary, or treble damages and shall have no power to decide any dispute except as between the parties to this Agreement. The fees of the arbitrator shall be divided equally between the parties, and each party shall bear all of its own remaining costs of the arbitration, including attorney fees. Any and all disputes shall be submitted to arbitration hereunder within one year after the date the dispute first arose or shall be forever barred. Arbitration shall be in lieu of all other remedies and procedures available to the parties; provided, however, that either party may seek preliminary injunctive relief prior to commencement of arbitration solely for the purpose of maintaining the status quo pending. 

 

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced. 

 

Notwithstanding the above, Husqvarna may apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
