Your use of our Sites is unauthorized in any jurisdiction that does not give full effect to all provisions of the Terms.

You agree that this agreement and your use of our websites will be governed by the laws of the State of South Dakota. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts, tribunals, agencies and other dispute resolution organizations in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in all disputes (i) arising out of, relating to or concerning this Agreement, one or more of our websites and your use thereof; (ii) in which one or more of our websites and/or this Agreement is an issue or a material fact; or (iii) in which one or more of our websites or this Agreement is referenced in a paper filed in a court, tribunal, agency or other dispute resolution organization.

You agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, any claims for punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue claims on a class or consolidated basis or in a representative capacity, which relate in any way to one or more of our websites or this Agreement.

Please review carefully as this section affects rights that you might otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court proceedings.

Arbitration is final, binding and subject to limited review by a court. You agree that this arbitration section shall survive termination of this Agreement. This section shall be broadly interpreted to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of one or more of our websites. Any dispute or claim made by you against us arising out of or related to your use of our websites, whether based on contract, statute, tort, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such court.

You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting our technical support department to allow us the opportunity to resolve any dispute. You may request arbitration if your dispute cannot be resolved within ninety (90) days. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted with the rules of a Nationwide Arbitration Organization as modified by this agreement. You and The South Dakota Pork Producers Council agree that this agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Any such arbitration shall be brought and held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not (i) award relief in excess of or contrary to what this Agreement provides; (ii) order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis; or (iii) award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. In any arbitration applying those rules applicable to large and/or complex cases, the arbitrators may also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the selected arbitrator’s rules.

Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor The South Dakota Pork Producers Council may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. The decisions of the arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive upon all parties involved, and any judgment or decision on any arbitration may be entered in and specifically enforced in any court having proper jurisdiction.

If any portion of this section is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall be given full force and effect.

All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and us. Each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at any arbitration hearing.

SECTION 19 – ASSIGNMENT

You agree that The South Dakota Pork Producers Council may assign all or part of this agreement without such assignment being considered a change to the agreement and without providing notice to you. You agree that The South Dakota Pork Producers Council will be released from all liability upon assignment. The assignee shall have the same rights and obligations as the assignor.

SECTION 21 – RELATIONSHIP

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and service providers or suppliers or you and The South Dakota Pork Producers Council as a result of these Terms or your use of one or more of our websites.

SECTION 22 - SEVERABILITY 12

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

SECTION 23 - TERMINATION

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.

These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or when you cease using our Sites.

If in our sole judgment you fail, or we suspect that you have failed, to comply with any term or provision of these Terms of Service, we also may terminate this agreement at any time without notice and you will remain liable for all amounts due up to and including the date of termination; and/or accordingly may deny you access to our Services (or any part thereof).

SECTION 24 - ENTIRE AGREEMENT

Any rights not expressly granted to you herein are reserved by and to South Dakota Pork Producers Council, its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries and licensors, and other third parties. The failure by us to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision nor shall it constitute a waiver of any such future right or provision.
