14. Entire Agreement

This Agreement contains the full understanding between the parties and supersedes all prior representations or agreements, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters. If any provision of the Agreement is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

15. Waiver of Class Action

ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER YOU NOR BALL HORTICULTURAL WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS.

16. No Third Party Beneficiaries

This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties, the Ball Horticultural Parties, and their respective successors and assigns, and shall not be enforceable by or otherwise be interpreted in such a way as to create any third party beneficiary rights in any third party.

17. Updates

WE MAY FROM TIME TO TIME AMEND, SUPPLEMENT OR MODIFY THE AGREEMENT.

The revised terms and conditions will become effective upon posting, and if You use the WebTrack Portal after that date, Your use will constitute acceptance of the revised terms and conditions. If any change to this Terms of Service is not acceptable to You, Your only remedy is to stop accessing and using the WebTrack Portal.

18. Time Limit to Bring Claims

To the extent permitted by applicable law, all claims against Ball Horticultural or the Ball Horticultural Parties arising out of this Agreement shall be filed within one (1) year of the date on which the event(s) first giving rise to the claim arose, and any claims not brought within such one year limits shall be permanently barred.
