  11. Should you elect to upgrade your Wash Plan during a billing cycle, you will immediately be billed the pro-rated difference in the Wash Plan price based on the days remaining in your current billing period. Should you elect to downgrade your Wash Plan, you will continue to wash at the higher Wash Plan for the remaining portion of your billing period, and the new downgraded Wash Plan will take effect with the next billing period.

Section 9 - Miscellaneous

  1. Acceptance of Responsibility. You are responsible for making sure your vehicle is in acceptable condition to be washed. Guidelines are posted near the entry of every Tommy’s Express car wash to help you ascertain if your vehicle can be washed. If there is any doubt, you are responsible for asking the Operator prior to entering the wash.  You are responsible for operating your vehicle safely, properly, and in accordance with all verbal or written instructions, if any, while on the premises of the Tommy’s Express location, including without limitation, properly loading your vehicle on to the conveyor belt and placing your vehicle in neutral, and confirming that it is in neutral prior to reaching the end of the conveyor belt. You acknowledge that you are responsible for any damage or injury caused to the car wash tunnel or equipment, the Operator’s employees, and other customers or their vehicles if you faill to do so.  If you do not know how to properly load your vehicles on the conveyor belt, or if you have any other questions or concerns about how to safely or properly operate your vehicles through the car wash, do not enter the car wash tunnel and ask the Operator.  You accept all risk of, and you agree to hold Tommy’s Express and the Operator harmless for, any injury to yourself or the occupants of your vehicle and any damage to your vehicle resulting from the actions of another customer or guest, including without limitation another customer’s failure to operate his or her vehicle safely and in accordance with all verbal or written instructions. 
  2. Refunds.  All payments made to Tommy’s or the Operator in connection with the Services, a Membership, or a Gift Card are non-refundable and there are no circumstances in which you will be entitled to or have an right to receive a refund.  Rather, Tommy’s or the Operator may provide a refund to you in its sole discretion.   
  3. Dispute Resolution.  Except  for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, the provision or receipt of Services, or any aspect of the relationship between you, on the one hand, and Tommy’s or the Operator, on the other hand, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury and you agree that Tommy’s and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. You agree that any arbitration under this agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted, and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  With the exception of any of the language above in this dispute resolution provision relating to the waiver of class and representative actions, if a court decides that any part of this dispute resolution provision is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Dispute Resolution provision shall still apply. If a court decides that any aspect of the language above in this dispute resolution provision relating to the waiver of class and representative actions is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution provision shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement will continue to apply and be unaffected by this severability provision.  If you pursue a claim in a manner that is contrary to this dispute resolution provision, such as filing a claim in court, you agree to reimburse Tommy’s for all attorney fees and other expenses incurred as a result of your noncompliance.   
  4. Governing Law; Forum.  This Agreement and all matters related to our relationship with you shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to choice-of-law principals or conflict-of-law provisions.  Without waiving the mandatory arbitration provision contained herein, you agree that any claim or dispute shall be resolved in the the state trial courts located in Ottawa County, Michigan or any appellate courts having jurisdiction over such trial courts.
