DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Binding Arbitration

If the Parties are unable to reach a resolution for a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those expressly excluded below) will be ultimately and exclusively settled through binding arbitration. You acknowledge that without this clause, you would retain the right to pursue legal action and have a trial by jury. The arbitration proceedings will be initiated and carried out in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) and, if applicable, the AAA‘s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules“), which can be accessed on the AAA website www.adr.org.

Your arbitration expenses and portion of arbitrator compensation will be subject to the guidelines set forth in the AAA Consumer Rules, and may be limited in accordance with such rules. The arbitration may take place in person, via submission of documents, over the phone, or online. The arbitrator‘s decision will be presented in writing, although a detailed explanation will not be necessary unless specifically requested by either Party. It is mandatory for the arbitrator to abide by relevant laws, and any ruling may be contested if the arbitrator fails to do so. With the exception of the stipulations outlined herein, the Parties have the right to bring legal action in court to compel arbitration, pause legal proceedings until arbitration has concluded, or enforce, alter, nullify, or issue a ruling on the arbitrator‘s decision.

Restriction 

The Parties acknowledge that any arbitration shall solely address the specific Dispute between them. Furthermore, in compliance with applicable laws, (a) no other legal proceeding shall be merged with the arbitration; (b) the use of class-action methods or procedures for resolving the Dispute is not permitted; and (c) the representation of the general public or any other individuals in the Dispute is not allowed.

Exceptions to Arbitration

The Parties acknowledge that certain Disputes, such as those involving intellectual property rights, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, and requests for injunctive relief, shall not be subject to the mandatory arbitration outlined in this agreement. In the event that any portion of this provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree to have such Disputes resolved by a court with competent jurisdiction as specified above. Both Parties consent to the jurisdiction of said court in relation to such Disputes.

EACH PARTY HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY FORGOES ANY ENTITLEMENT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER CURRENTLY EXISTING OR ARISING IN THE FUTURE, AND WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. INSTEAD, BOTH PARTIES AGREE TO HAVE ANY SUCH DISPUTE DECIDED BY THE COURT WITHOUT A JURY, AND EACH PARTY MAY SUBMIT A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT AS EVIDENCE OF THEIR KNOWING AND WILLFUL WAIVER OF THEIR JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.
