Any legal or equitable claim relating to your use of this Site, these Terms and Conditions, or the use or purchase of any products from Zippi (referred to as a "Claim") will be resolved as follows:
A. INFORMAL RESOLUTION:
In the event that any dispute between Zippi and you arises out of or relates to the getzippi.com Site, these Terms and Conditions, the applicability of these Terms and Conditions to the use of the getzippi.com Site, or the use or purchase of any products from getzippi.com, you and we agree to try to promptly resolve any such dispute informally. Please send a written notice describing the dispute to 1 Harmon Meadow Blvd, Secaucus, NJ 07094.
B. FORMAL RESOLUTION BY ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER:
READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY, IT LIMITS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION. If you and Zippi cannot resolve a Claim informally, any Claim asserted by either you or Zippi will be resolved only by binding Arbitration subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
By agreeing to Arbitration, you are waiving your rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle disputes. Instead of suing in court, both you and Zippi agree to settle disputes only by Arbitration. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. The rules in Arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury, and review is limited, but an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief, and must honor the same limitations stated in these Terms and Conditions as a court would.
The Arbitration will be held at a location in your home town area if possible, unless you and Zippi both agree to another location or telephonic Arbitration. To initiate Arbitration, you or Zippi must write a demand for Arbitration and send it to legal@getzippi.com.
20. Limited Time to File Claims

SEE SECTION 27 BELOW FOR IMPORTANT LIMITATIONS ON THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 21.
22. Severability
In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.
23. Non-Waiver
Zippi reserves all rights under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
24. Termination & Cancellation
We may terminate your access to our Site and Service at our discretion without explanation, though we will strive to provide a timely explanation in most cases.
