Mandatory
Binding Arbitration
If
a dispute arises between you and COMPANY, you and COMPANY agree, as permitted
by applicable law, to resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity arising
out of, relating to, or connected in any way with the Site, these Terms, or
additional terms (collectively, “Dispute”) through binding arbitration
or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. You agree that the term “Dispute” in this
Agreement will have the broadest meaning possible. This Agreement also covers
any Dispute between you and any officer, director, board member, agent,
employee, affiliate of the Company, or third party if the Company could be
liable, directly or indirectly, for such Dispute. If the parties
have more than one Dispute between them, you and the Company agree to assert
all such Disputes in a single arbitration so they may be resolved at the same time.
Before resorting to this alternative, we strongly encourage you
to first contact us directly at privacy@cornerstone-bb.com to seek a
resolution. If we cannot resolve a Dispute within sixty (60) days of receipt of
the notice, then, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Disputes
shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the
then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”), in a reasonably convenient location conducted
before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules (including, but not limited to
the AAA’s Consumer-Arbitration Rules, available at the ADR Consumer site),
except that we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or
federal court. You can also obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information
by calling 800.778.7879.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must submit the Dispute
by utilizing the forms available at ADR Consumer site, and
simultaneously sending a copy of the completed form to the following address:
5020 Weston Parkway, Suite 400, Cary, NC 275313.
WITH ARBITRATION (i) THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, (ii) THE
ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION OUTCOME ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN
CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND (iii) JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS
LIMITED. You hereby consent to, and waive, all defenses of lack of personal
jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in
the state and federal courts of Texas. Any Dispute shall otherwise be governed
by the internal laws of the State of Texas without regard to Texas choice of
law principles, except that the provisions of this agreement concerning
arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrability
of Disputes shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s award shall
be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
Certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a “written
agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and
COMPANY agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing”
requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by
mutual agreement.
In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the
Dispute, you and COMPANY shall agree to, or a court shall select, another
arbitration provider.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE
WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY
DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES – OR IT
WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
As permitted by applicable law, Disputes will be arbitrated only
on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitration
or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party,
including as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative
proceeding or as an association. Notwithstanding
any other clause contained in this Agreement, any challenge to the validity of
this section 7(g) may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction
and not by an arbitrator. The
arbitrator may award relief (including injunctive relief) only on an individual
basis. But if, for any reason, this restriction is held to be unconscionable or
unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute
must be brought exclusively in court as follows: except to the extent that arbitration
is required, and except as to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or
award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute may only be instituted
in state or federal court in Harris County, Texas. Accordingly, you and COMPANY
consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for
such matters. You and COMPANY agree to waive any right to a trial by jury.
Communications
We may
communicate with you electronically in regard to the Site, including by email,
and we may collect information related to communications between you and
COMPANY. You agree that all notices, disclosures, agreements, and other
communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal
requirement that such communications be in writing. You agree that any time you
electronically transact, agree, or consent via the Site, you action is intended
as an electronic signature as if you had signed on paper.
You may
unsubscribe from receiving email marketing communications from us by following
the instructions contained within our promotional emails. This will not affect
your access to the Site. Please note that we may continue to send you certain
communications relating to Your Account or use of our Site, such as
administrative and service announcements, and these transactional messages may
be unaffected if you choose to opt out of receiving marketing emails.
General
Governing
Law and Venue. These
Terms will be governed by, and construed and resolved in accordance with,
United States federal law, as applicable, and by the laws of the State of
Texas. All lawsuits or proceedings arising out of, or relating to, these Terms
will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Harris County, Texas,
and we and you irrevocably submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of
such courts for such purpose.
Complete
Agreement; No Waiver. These
Terms constitute our complete and final agreement regarding the Site, the
Content, and the User Submissions, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous
understandings, agreements, and/or communications with respect to Site. Except
as expressly set forth in these Terms, (i) no failure or delay by COMPANY in
exercising any of the rights, powers, or remedies hereunder will operate as a
waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy; and (ii) no waiver or
modification of any of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and
signed by COMPANY.
Severability. If any provision of these Terms is deemed to
be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, then such provision will be deemed
severable from these Terms and the remaining provisions of these Terms will
remain in full force and effect.
Assignment. We may assign our rights and delegate our
duties and obligations under these Terms to any party at any time without
notice to you. These Terms are not assignable, transferable, or sub-licensable
by you without our prior, express, and written consent.
Interpretation. The summaries of provisions and Section
headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms.
Survival. The provisions of these Terms and any
applicable additional terms (which by their nature should survive the
suspension/termination of your access to the Site or the termination of these
Terms) will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to COMPANY in
these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations
on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class
action, jury waiver, and mandatory arbitration.

We do not share personal information with third parties or affiliates for those third parties’ or affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes. Californians may request information about our compliance with this law by emailing us at privacy@cornerstone-bb.com or mailing to Cornerstone Building Brands, Inc., Attention: Data Privacy, 10943 North Sam Houston Pkwy W, Houston, Texas, 77064.
To make a request, please provide sufficient information for us to determine if this applies to you, attest to the fact that you are a California resident, and provide your current California address to which we will send our response. Your inquiry must specify “California Privacy Rights Request” in the subject
line of the email or the first line of the letter and include your name, street address, city, state, and ZIP code. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year.
California Consumer Privacy Act.The California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which provides California consumers certain rights regarding their personal information (“PI”), became effective on January 1, 2020. As of that date, the California Attorney General had not completed the rulemaking process to establish the regulations for covered businesses to implement the law. Accordingly, we may update information in this section regarding our data practices and your rights under the CCPA, modify our methods for responding to your requests, and/or supplement our responses to your requests as we continue to develop our compliance program to reflect the development of the law and our understanding of how it relates to our data practices.
If you are a California consumer and would like to make a request pursuant to your “right to know about personal information collected, disclosed or sold” (including your right to obtain copies of specific pieces of PI), your “right to request deletion of personal information,” or your “right to opt-out of the sale of personal information,” you may contact us at privacy@cornerstone-bb.com or complete and submit the form, here. We will respond to your request as soon as we have guidance on how to properly verify your identity and the appropriate response parameters.
Please note that CCPA rights do not apply to PI collected from (1) job applicants, current and former employees, or independent contractors; or (2) representatives of another business in connection with business communications or transactions.
Examples of the types of PI we may collect from California consumers, and of the purposes for such collection, are outlined in the chart below.
