INTERNATIONAL USERS AND CHOICE OF LAW:
This Site is controlled, operated and administered by Interface from its offices within the United States of America. Interface makes no representation that Materials at this Site are appropriate or available for use at other locations outside of the United States and access to and the use or display of them from territories where their contents are illegal is prohibited. You may not use the Site or export the Materials in violation of U. S. export laws and regulations.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND INTERFACE TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.
Any dispute or claim arising from, relating to, or connected with this Agreement, the Site, Materials, services provided by Interface through the Site, and any Interface account (each a “Claim”) will be resolved by binding arbitration (rather than in court). All Claims submitted to arbitration under these Terms will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (including the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, if applicable), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be the State of Georgia or, where limited by applicable law, the jurisdiction in which you reside or may be conducted by telephone, online or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. Notwithstanding this section, Interface may bring a Claim for injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or those of our affiliates, suppliers, or licensors.
You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Claim or cause of action you may have must be filed within one (1) calendar year after such Claim or cause of action arises, or forever be barred.
For purposes of any Claim that is not subject to the arbitration procedures in this section, you and Interface both agree to the governing law and jurisdiction as set out in the “International Users and Choice of Law” section above.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Interface and you with respect to your access to and use of the Site. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the Agreement or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the Agreement, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
