Mandatory Binding Arbitration.

The parties to this User Agreement agree that final and binding arbitration on an individual basis shall be the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all disputes and claims that cannot be resolved informally and that relate in any way to or arise out of our services, this Website or this User Agreement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to arbitrations under this User Agreement (despite any other choice of law provision).

Arbitration under this User Agreement shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). For claims of less than or equal to $75,000 (exclusive of attorney’s fees, costs, and alleged punitive damages or penalties), the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA rules are available at https://www.adr.org. Any Notice of Arbitration should be mailed to us at the following address: Constellation Brands, Inc. 50 E. Broad St., Rochester, NY 14614 Attn: Legal Department.

Class Action Waiver.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS WITHOUT THE RIGHT FOR ANY DISPUTES TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS ACTION BASIS OR ON BASES INVOLVING CLAIMS BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF OTHERS. Disputes may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. In the event that this CLASS ACTION WAIVER is deemed unenforceable, then any putative class action may only proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction WITHOUT A JURY and not in arbitration.

If you do not want to be bound by this binding arbitration provision and class action waiver, you must notify us within 30 days of the date that you first accept or receive this User Agreement by sending a written notification to Constellation Brands, Inc. at 50 E. Broad St., Rochester, NY 14614, Attn: Legal Department that includes your actual name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with us through arbitration.

Waiver of Rights, Including to Trial by Jury.

By agreeing to arbitration, the parties understand and agree that they are waiving their rights to maintain other available resolution processes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding, to settle their disputes. The rules in arbitration are different. There is no judge or jury, and review of an arbitrator’s decision is very limited. BOTH PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT, WHETHER A CLAIM WILL BE RESOLVED IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, THE PARTIES BOTH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL INVOLVING ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.

Company may terminate your right to use this Website, with or without cause at any time in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, upon your violation of this User Agreement. In the event of termination, all representations, warranties, indemnifications, and promises made by you shall survive.

Materials may be made available via the Website by third parties not within Company’s control. Company is under no obligation to scan content posted on the Website for the inclusion of illegal or impermissible content. However, Company respects the copyright interests of others, and it is Company’s policy not to permit Materials known by Company to infringe another party’s copyright to remain on the Website. Accordingly, Company complies with the following notice and take down policy, in full compliance with Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512 et seq.).

If you believe any Materials on the Website infringe a copyright, you should provide Company with written notice that at a minimum contains:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at the Website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at the Website;
• Identification of the Material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the Material;
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit Company to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
• A statement that the complaining party has 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; and
• 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.

All DMCA notices should be sent to Company’s designated Copyright Agent as follows: copyrightagent@cbrands.com; or Constellation Brands, Inc. 50 E. Broad St., Rochester, NY 14614, Attn: Copyright Agent, Legal Department.

Upon receipt of a notice of infringement that complies or substantially complies with the DMCA, Company will act promptly to remove or disable access to any Material claimed to be infringing. Company will take reasonable steps to notify the user that created or posted the relevant Material that it has removed or disabled access thereto. Any user whose Material has been removed or disabled in accordance with this policy may provide Company with a counter notification under the DMCA. Such counter notification must be provided in writing addressed to Company’s Copyright Agent at the address listed above and must contain:

• The user’s electronic or physical signature;
• Identification of the Material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which such Material appeared before it was removed or disabled, including the complete URL;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the Material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the Material to be removed or disabled; and
• The user’s name, address and telephone number, and a statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for any judicial district in which Company may be found and that the user will accept service of process from the person who provided the initial notification of infringement.

The DMCA allows Company to restore removed content if the party filing the original DMCA notice does not file a court action against the user within 10 business days of receiving the copy of the counter notification.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that Material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

It is Company’s policy to terminate relationships regarding content with third parties who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others. In no event shall Company be liable for any claim of copyright infringement which may arise from the posting of any Material on any third-party website or that may arise from any other unauthorized use by a third party of such Material or other Company user generated content.

This User Agreement, including all documents linked herein (including the Privacy Policy) represent the entire understanding between you and Company regarding your relationship with Company this Website, and the subject matter of this User Agreement, and supersede any prior statements or representations. If any provision of this User Agreement, or portion thereof, is determined to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of this User Agreement and the remainder of this User Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Company’s failure to enforce any provision of this User Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of Company’s right to enforce such provision.
