Other Provisions

The validity, construction and interpretation of these Terms & Conditions, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ohio, excluding its conflicts of laws principles. Subject only to Section 13(c) at O-I’s sole discretion, all dispute arising from or in any way related to these Terms and Conditions shall be submitted to and finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and shall be conducted by the AAA in Toledo, Ohio. Such arbitration shall be the exclusive forum and venue for the resolution of all such disputes. The arbitration award resulting therefrom shall be final and binding, and a judgment reflecting such award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, and shall be fully enforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, including by injunctive relief if otherwise appropriate. The arbitrator or arbitration panel shall have authority to issue injunctions where injunctive relief is shown to be appropriate.

The waiver by O-I of any breach or default of any provision of these Terms and conditions will not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach or default of the same or any other provision, nor will any delay or omission on the part of O-I to exercise or avail itself of any right, power or privileged that it has, or may have hereunder, operate as a waiver of any right, power or privileged by it. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions.

You acknowledge, accept and agree that any breach of Sections 3, 4 and 6 of these Terms and Conditions is likely to irreparably harm O-I and will not be susceptible of cure by monetary damages. Consequently, if you breach any provision of Sections 3, 4 or 6, then O-I will be entitled to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, through arbitration or in a court of law, in addition to any other remedies it may have at law.
