Governing Law and Arbitration
All matters relating to the Accelerate Sports Performance Services and these Terms of Use and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California in the United States without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR USE OF THE ACCELERATE SPORTS PERFORMANCE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS OF USE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY ASSERT CLAIMS IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS OF USE, THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW APPLY TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU AND ACCELERATE SPORTS PERFORMANCE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE. ANY SMALL CLAIMS ACTION MUST BE FILED IN CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT. YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER YOU BY THIS COURT AND TO VENUE IN THIS COURT.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages).
If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claims court action, you must first send to Accelerate Sports Performance, by certified mail, a written notice of your claim (a “Notice”). The Notice to Accelerate Sports Performance must be addressed to: Accelerate Sports Performance, LLC, 2215 Powell Street, San Francisco CA 94133 (the “Notice Address”). If Accelerate Sports Performance initiates arbitration, it will send a written Notice to the email address used for your account, if any. A Notice, whether sent by you or Accelerate Sports Performance, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the dispute, claim or controversy; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (the “Demand”). If Accelerate Sports Performance and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or Accelerate Sports Performance may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the AAA Rules and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision shall govern. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would and must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.
YOU AND ACCELERATE SPORTS PERFORMANCE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND ACCELERATE SPORTS PERFORMANCE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS WITH YOUR CLAIMS. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision 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.
Network Access and Devices
You are responsible for obtaining the internet access necessary to use the Accelerate Sports Performance Services. You are also responsible for acquiring and updating compatible hardware or devices necessary to access and use the Accelerate Sports Performance Services, and any updates thereto.

Limitation on Time to File Claims
ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE ACCELERATE SPORTS PERFORMANCE SERVICES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Accelerate Sports Performance of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Accelerate Sports Performance to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent, and the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.
Entire Agreement
