PRICING

With respect to items sold by Cape Ann Lobstermen, we cannot confirm the price of an item until you order, as the market price of lobsters is subject to change.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

THE CAL SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) AND OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE CAL SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY CAPE ANN LOBSTERMEN ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. CAPE ANN LOBSTERMEN MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE CAL SERVICES, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE CAL SERVICES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING.

DISPUTES

Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of any CAL Service, or to any products or services sold or distributed by Cape Ann Lobstermen or through capeannlobstermen.com will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

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), and must follow the terms of these Conditions of Use as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Cape Ann Lobstermen, 111 E. Main Street, Gloucester, MA 01930. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration and hearing shall be conducted in Essex County, Massachusetts, but you may choose to have arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions or at another mutually agreed location if your claim is less than $10,000.00.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to a jury trial, and the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in any such Civil Action shall be the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, or, if and only if said Federal Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the appropriate Massachusetts State Trial Court sitting in Essex County, Massachusetts. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

APPLICABLE LAW

By using any CAL Service, you agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern these Conditions of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and Cape Ann Lobstermen.
