“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
18. Location of the Site and Territorial Restrictions

19. Arbitration Agreement
The Site is controlled and operated by Montway from its offices within the State of Illinois, United States of America. Montway makes no representation that materials in the Site is appropriate or available for use in other locations and other countries. Those who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. This agreement will be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, excluding its conflict of laws principles. To the extent that any dispute between you and Montway arises from these Terms, the arbitration proceedings will be governed by federal arbitration law and by the JAMS (defined below) rules.
Both you and Montway waive the right to a trial by jury and the right to bring or resolve any dispute as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action. Both you and Montway waive the right to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action related to any dispute that is brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the JAMS rules to the contrary, the arbitrator will not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the claims of different persons into one proceeding.
Except for disputes relating to the infringement of your or Montway’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, copyright and patents) or where Montway is seeking injunctive relief (the “Excluded Disputes”), you and Montway each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration. In arbitration, there is no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
At least thirty (30) days before beginning an arbitration proceeding, you must send an individualized letter personally signed by you and identifying you, your legal claims, the requested relief and requesting arbitration to: Montway – 425 N. Martingale Rd., Suite 550, Schaumburg, IL 60173 by certified mail, Federal Express, UPS or USPS express mail (signature required). We will do the same; except in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail to the last known email address.
The parties agree that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site (including purchasing products or services through the Site) will be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within thirty (30) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration,” then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service that will hear the case. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Chicago, Illinois or – if required by the JAMS rules (or the rules of any alternate arbitration service used by the parties) – in or near your city of residence. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party, including any class actions or class arbitrations; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, or for any Excluded Disputes, then the agreement to arbitrate does not apply and the dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Chicago, Illinois.
Subject to you demonstrating that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Montway will pay as much of the administrative and arbitrator’s fees charged to you by JAMS (or an alternate arbitration service) as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost prohibitive to you as compared to litigation. The prevailing party may seek reimbursement of its fees and costs.
Either party may, notwithstanding this provision, bring qualifying claims in small claims court. In no event will you seek or be entitled to rescission, injunctive or other equitable relief or to enjoin or restrain the operation or exploitation of the Services or any other property of Montway (provided that nothing in these Terms will restrain a California resident’s right (if any) under applicable law to seek public injunctive relief in accordance with this dispute-resolution provision).
You and Montway agree that, in the event that there are fifty (50) or more individual requests for arbitration of a similar nature filed against Montway within an approximately thirty-day period (or otherwise in close proximity), JAMS will administer all such similarly situated arbitration demands on a collective basis as a single, consolidated arbitration (subject to a single set of fees, proceeding schedule, and, if required, hearing) before a single arbitrator in accordance with the requirements outlined elsewhere in this section, provided that – in the event that the arbitrator deems it impracticable or inequitable to administer all such claims collectively in a single arbitration – (s)he may group demands for arbitration into groups of not fewer than twenty (20) matters, plus a remainder group as needed (or as otherwise deemed by the arbitrator to be practicable, equitable, and in best keeping with the spirit of this provision) and arbitrate each group of matters as a single, consolidated arbitration (either structure a “Batch Arbitration”). You and Montway agree (a) to work with JAMS in good faith to facilitate the resolution of disputes on a Batch Arbitration basis and (b) that requests for arbitration are of a “similar nature” if they arise out of the same event, agreement, or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief. Disagreements over the applicability of this Batch Arbitration process will be settled in a single, consolidated arbitration proceeding that includes all affected parties and is resolved by a single arbitrator subject to the requirements of this section. This Batch Arbitration provision will in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class or collective arbitration or action of any kind, or any suit or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims, under any circumstances other than those expressly set forth in this section.
The rules of JAMS and additional information about JAMS are available on the JAMS website. By agreeing to be bound by these Terms, you either (a) acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or (b) waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and the class action waiver provisions set forth in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: 425 N. Martingale Rd., Suite 550, Schaumburg, IL 60173. For new users, the notice must be sent within 30 days of registering an account with Montway, and for existing users, the notice must be sent within 30 days of the effective date of this policy. If you do not opt-out, you shall be bound to the terms in this section. If you choose to opt-out, Montway also will not be bound.
20. Copyrights
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. Montway follows the notice and take down procedures of the DMCA. If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have otherwise been violated, please provide a notice to privacy@montway.com. Please put the statement “DMCA Takedown Notice” in the subject field of your email. notice must include the following information:
1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the works that have been allegedly infringed;2. Identification of the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);3. Identification of the specific material or link alleged to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Montway to locate the material on the Site;4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available);5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Montway a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see https://www.copyright.gov/ for details.
21. Applicable Law
You agree that the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflicts of laws provisions will govern these TOU and any dispute that may arise between you and Montway or its affiliates.
