Should MTT cancel your order, MTT will promptly refund the amount paid to you, via the payment method you used for the order. The prices displayed on this Site are quoted in U.S. dollars and are valid and effective only within the United States, and such prices do not include sales taxes, if applicable.

You authorize us (and our designated payment processor) to charge the full amount to the payment method you designate for any and all of transactions on the Site.

If your primary payment method fails or your account is past due, you authorize us to charge all additional payment methods we have on file, and to employ all legal methods available to collect the amounts, including the engagements of collection agencies or legal counsel. In addition, you may be subject to late fees. If your use of a payment method results in an overdraft or other fee from your bank or provider, you alone are responsible for that fee. MTT, or the collection agencies we retain, may also report information about your account to credit bureaus, and as a result, late payments, missed payments, failure to return equipment, or other defaults on your account may be reflected in your credit report. In addition to the amount due, delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks will be charged with fees and/or charges that are incidental to the collection of delinquent accounts and/or chargebacks including, but not limited to, collection fees and/or convenience fees and/or other third-party charges. You hereby explicitly agree that all communication in relation to delinquent accounts may be made by electronic mail or by phone, as provided to MTT by you. Such communication may be made by MTT or by anyone on its behalf, including but not limited to a third-party collection agent. If you wish to dispute the information MTT reported to a credit bureau (i.e., Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion) please contact us at Frustaci Ventures, LLC d/b/a Manual Transmission Training, 101 Orchard Meadow Drive, Shrewsbury, MA 01545.

This Agreement and the Privacy Policy and the resolution of any dispute related to this Agreement and the Privacy Policy, or the Site shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware and the arbitration provisions below. If any provision(s) of this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or Manual Transmission Training Policies is found to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) will be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. MTT's failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, or Manual Transmission Training Policies, will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by MTT in writing. The terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Privacy Policy, and Manual Transmission Training Policies, constitute the entire agreement between you and MTT with respect to the subject matter herein and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements. You may not assign this Agreement to any other party and any attempt to do so is void.
1. Arbitration Rights. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS RIGHTS THAT YOU MAY OTHERWISE HAVE. IT PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF MOST DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION INSTEAD OF COURT TRIALS AND CLASS ACTIONS. ARBITRATION IS FINAL AND BINDING AND SUBJECT TO ONLY VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
a. Binding Arbitration. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of our relationship. Any dispute or claim made by you against MTT arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Site or Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration except that (a) you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court, or (b) you or we may choose to pursue claims in court if the claims relate solely to the collection of any debts you owe to us. In the event of any small claims or collection actions, you shall bring any legal action or proceeding against MTT exclusively in a state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Worcester County, Massachusetts, and you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. However, even for those claims that may be taken to court, you and we both waive any claims for punitive damages and any right to pursue claims on a class or representative basis.
b. Arbitration Procedures. You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting us in writing at g@frustaci.com to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within sixty (60) days. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available upon request from the AAA (call 1-800-778-7879) or online at www.adr.org. You and MTT agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Unless you and MTT agree otherwise, any arbitration will take place in Worcester County, Massachusetts, and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this Agreement provides, order consolidation or arbitration on a class wide or representative basis, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party's actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. In any arbitration applying the AAA Rules applicable to large/complex cases, the Arbitrators must also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the AAA Rules. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor MTT may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
c. Costs of Arbitration. All administrative fees and expenses of arbitration will be divided equally between you and MTT. In all arbitrations, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.
d. Waiver of Punitive Damage Claims and Class Actions. By this Agreement, both you and MTT are waiving certain rights to litigate disputes in court. If for any reason this arbitration clause is deemed inapplicable or invalid, you and MTT both waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any claims to recover punitive or exemplary damages and any right to pursue any claims on a class or consolidated basis or in a representative capacity.
1. All parts of this Agreement apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. If any provision of this contract is held to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the extent permitted under applicable law and the remainder of this contract will remain in full force and effect. A court may hold that we cannot enforce a part of this contract as written.
