By registering with CCAG for the auction, every bidder and purchaser agrees to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Louisiana with respect to any dispute arising in connection with the auction and/or any auction purchases.

 

In the event of a lawsuit, each bidder and purchaser consents to the jurisdiction of the federal courts and/or state courts located in Louisiana, and the dispute shall be governed by Louisiana law as provided in the preceding paragraph, Governing Law. If items are auctioned or offered for sale only through an online auction, the laws of the State of Louisiana shall govern. In all cases, the right to trial by jury is hereby waived.

 

MEDIATION OF DISPUTES

 

In the event of a dispute arising from the bidding on an item at auction or purchase of an item and any matter related thereto, and prior to the filing of a lawsuit, the parties to this contract agree to first submit the dispute to mandatory mediation. No lawsuit may be filed without prior mediation of the dispute between the parties. The mediation will take place in CCAG’s domicile, New Orleans, Louisiana, and shall be conducted by a mediator chosen solely by CCAG. The mediation will be conducted solely at the bidder or purchaser’s expense.
