1. Acceptance of the Terms of Use.
These Terms of Use are entered into by and between you and the New York Athletic Club (“Club”, “we” or “us”).  The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, these “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of www.nyac.org, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through www.nyac.org (the “Website”), whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read the Terms of Use carefully before you start to use the Website.  By using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, found at [PRIVACY POLICY], incorporated herein by reference.  If you do not want to agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website.

Certain portions of the Website may be restricted to Club members or other authorized users. By accessing such portions of the Website, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to do so.

Nothing in these Terms of Use modifies or supersedes the Club's Certificate of Incorporation, Constitution, Bylaws, House Rules, membership agreements, or other governing documents. In the event of any conflict between these Terms of Use and such governing documents, the governing documents shall control. Use of the Website does not create membership rights in the Club.

2. Changes to the Terms of Use.

The Club may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time in its sole discretion. All changes are effective when posted to the Website unless otherwise specified.

Your continued use of the Website following the posting of revised Terms of Use constitutes your acceptance of the changes. You are encouraged to review these Terms of Use periodically for updates.

16. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
All matters relating to the Website and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising out of or relating thereto (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

Any court proceeding permitted under these Terms of Use, including any action to compel arbitration or enforce an arbitration award, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts.  Each party waives any objection to the exercise of jurisdiction by such courts or to venue in such courts.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the Website, including any dispute concerning their interpretation, applicability, enforceability, formation, performance, breach, termination, or validity, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration on an individual basis and not as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action.

The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS and conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect (the "JAMS Rules"). A copy of the JAMS Rules may be obtained online at www.jamsadr.com.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use, including any claim that all or any portion of these Terms of Use is void or voidable.

The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in a court of competent jurisdiction. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof, including the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.

The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs, except as otherwise provided by the Club’s governing documents, applicable law, or otherwise awarded by the arbitrator.
