These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The headings herein are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. In case any provision herein shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. A waiver by HTI of any of the terms and conditions of these Terms shall not be deemed to be a continuing waiver but shall apply solely to the instance of the waiver.

21. Compliance with Laws

22. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration
YOU AND HTI 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 SITES, WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY AND FINALLY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 22. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section.
The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the Agreement is void, voidable or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award of the arbitrator(s) will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party attorneys` fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
You agree to an arbitration on an individual basis. In any dispute, NEITHER YOU NOR HTI 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. {' '} The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person`s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.

-
b. This Agreement incorporates by reference the Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the “LAEULA”) published by Apple, Inc. (located online at: https://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/appstore/dev/stdeula/), which you hereby acknowledge having read and understood. For purposes of this Agreement, the software obtained from HTI through the Apple App Store is considered the “Licensed Application” as defined in the LAEULA and HTI is considered the “Application Provider” as defined in the LAEULA. If any terms of this Agreement are in conflict with the terms of the LAEULA, the terms of the LAEULA shall control solely to the extent of such conflict.
-
c. As between HTI and Apple, Inc. or Google Inc., HTI is solely responsible for the software applications and any content contained therein. You acknowledge that Apple, Inc. and Google Inc. have no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the software.
-
d. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government “watch list” of prohibited or restricted parties, including the Specially Designated Nationals list published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury or the Denied Persons List published by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
24. Incentive Programs
-
a. HTI may, from time to time, offer one or more referral and incentive awards programs (collectively, “Incentive Programs”) by posting the Incentive Programs on the Sites or by promoting the Incentive Programs through direct or indirect marketing materials. All awards, incentives, Credits and other benefits you may receive under the Incentive Programs are referred to herein as “Awards”. In each case, whether or not stated within the Incentive Program materials themselves, the Incentive Programs and the Awards are subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, including this Section 24, which are subject to change, including termination of any Incentive Program, at any time with or without notice in HTI’s sole discretion. For example, to the extent that any Award consists of a Credit, that Credit will be subject to these Terms, including the applicable provisions of Section 9 dealing with Credits.
-
b. By participating in one or more Incentive Programs, you agree that (i) you are bound by these Terms, including all terms applicable to the Incentive Programs, (ii) you are at least 18 years old, and (iii) you will participate in the Incentive Programs in good faith. The intent of the Incentive Programs is to reward loyal HTI supporters for sharing their passion for HTI products and meals with their friends and family.
-
c. Consistent with this goal, to the extent an Incentive Program relates to referrals of products or services, it is HTI’s intent that any referral links should be shared from one person to another, not broadcast en masse or made publicly available, including through posting on a third party website or application such as Facebook, Instagram or YouTube. As a result, HTI reserves the right to not honor any Awards relating to referral links associated with any commercializing, advertising, mass-distributing, selling or paying or offering incentives for use of referral links, or any other behavior that violates the spirit of these Incentive Programs. All Incentive Programs that grant Awards based on referrals are limited to referrals of new participants that have not purchased any HTI products or services. By submitting an e-mail address for a referral, you consent to HTI contacting them about the referral and acknowledge you have the right to share their e-mail address with HTI.
-
d. All Awards based on purchases or referrals are only earned once the purchaser or referee, as applicable, is no longer eligible to return or cancel the product or service for a refund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an Award is made based on a purchase or referral and subsequent to making the Award there is a return, cancellation or refund made in respect of the purchase or referral, such return, cancellation or refund shall be netted against or otherwise accounted for in the sole discretion of HTI in any future Award for which you are otherwise eligible.
-
e. If HTI determines in its sole discretion that you have violated these terms or the terms and conditions of any Incentive Program, HTI reserves the right to disqualify you from current and future Incentive Programs, as well as rescind any and all prior Awards granted to you under any Incentive Program.
-
f. Nothing in any Incentive Program will be deemed to create any kind of relationship between you and HTI or any of our affiliates. To the extent that an Incentive Program grants any cash rewards without specifying the manner or timing of payment, unless otherwise determined by HTI those rewards will be in the form of prepaid Visa cards, and HTI will use its reasonable efforts deliver the cards to you within 30 days of the date that HTI determines you are entitled to receive them. You are responsible for all taxes and local requirements and fees. All Awards, and your participation in the Incentive Programs, are conditional on and subject to local laws and regulations.
-
g. In the event of any conflict between the terms of an Incentive Program and these Terms, these Terms will prevail.
