13. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration
YOU AND ATLAS ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY, OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.
ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT OR FUTURE, AND INCLUDING STATUTORY, CONSUMER PROTECTION, COMMON LAW, INTENTIONAL TORT, INJUNCTIVE AND EQUITABLE CLAIMS) BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING FROM OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO YOUR PURCHASE OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THROUGH THE SITE (a “DISPUTE”) SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO MANDATORY, FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED BELOW.
The arbitration will be submitted to and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect.
There shall be one arbitrator, who will be agreed to by the parties within 30 days of receipt by respondent of a copy of the demand for arbitration. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within the time period specified then, at the request of either party, such arbitrator shall be appointed by the AAA. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The place of the arbitration shall be Birmingham, Alabama, U.S.A. The arbitrator shall be an attorney licensed in Alabama with at least ten (10) years of experience.
The arbitration shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolution of any Dispute, and the award shall be in writing, state the reasons for the award and be final and binding. Judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the AAA shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the AAA’s orders to that effect. In any such judicial action: (i) each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the federal or state courts located in Birmingham, Alabama, U.S.A. (the “Alabama Courts”) for the purpose of any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the enforcement of any judgment on any award; (ii) each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any Alabama Courts; and (iii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first-class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
The prevailing party, as determined by the AAA, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees.
Except as may be required by law, the parties shall preserve the confidentiality of all aspects of the arbitration, and shall not disclose to a third party (other than disclosure to affiliate(s) of a party on a need-to-know basis and such affiliate(s) is/are informed of the confidential nature of such information and is/are instructed to keep such information confidential), all information made known and documents produced in the arbitration not otherwise in the public domain, all evidence and materials created for the purpose of the arbitration, and all awards arising from the arbitration, except, and to the extent that disclosure is required by law or regulation, is required to protect or pursue a legal right or is required to enforce or challenge an award in legal proceedings before a court or other competent judicial authority.
You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, neither you nor Atlas will be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other customers in court or in arbitration or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member or in a private attorney general capacity.

18. Sales & Use Tax Disclaimer
Atlas collects sales tax for purchases shipped to the state of Alabama. Sales tax determination is made using the shipping address only. Atlas does not collect sales tax for any purchases shipped to any state except Alabama. Exceptions may exist when a product is shipped from a distribution center within customer’s state. If a customer believes that he or she has been charged sales tax in error, the customer must notify Atlas within fourteen (14) days from the purchase date to receive a credit. After fourteen (14) days, the sales tax cannot be refunded. Any customer, residing outside of Alabama, that purchases products from Atlas and is not charged sales tax by Atlas may be subject to the use tax of his or her own state of residence. Use tax is a self-assessed excise tax that is applicable on purchases made outside one’s own state of residence. Many states include use tax as a line item on yearly tax filings. It is the customer’s responsibility to calculate, report, and pay any use tax based on local state regulations.
Atlas is not responsible for helping a customer to file the use tax, nor is Atlas responsible for any financial damages or legal repercussions that a customer may face if he or she fails to pay the use tax. Common exemptions from paying the use tax in many states may include purchases for resale, for goods used in production of other goods, for raw materials, or for government, churches, schools, and other not-for-profits. Customers should reference local state tax regulations for more accurate and complete information regarding possible exemptions. Notwithstanding anything else contained in these Terms, you remain solely and exclusively responsible for the payment of any taxes owed on your purchases, regardless of whether or not Atlas is able to assess and notify you of such taxes.
19. Late Payments
Any credit card payments received outside of the net terms period specified on the invoice shall incur a 3.5% surcharge due immediately.
20. Your Representations and Warranties
By using this site and purchasing products, you represent and warrant that you are buying the products from the site for your own use and not for resale or export. You further represent and warrant that you will purchase and use the products in compliance with all applicable laws.

Your rights under these Terms may not be assigned without Atlas’s prior written consent. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment relieves you of any of your obligations under these Terms. Atlas may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.
22. Entire Agreement
Atlas’s order confirmation and these Terms and any document incorporated therein by reference are the final, entire, and integrated agreement between you and us on the subject matter of these Terms.
