Informal Negotiations
To expedite
resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these
Terms of Use (each "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or
us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first
attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below)
informally for at least thirty (30)
days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written
notice from one Party to the other Party.
If the Parties
are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those
Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through
binding arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE
RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and
conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association
("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related
Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website:
www.adr.org
.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be
governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the
AAA Consumer Rules.
If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to
be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and expenses.
The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of
documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in
writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by
either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may
be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise
required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will
take place in
Ohio
. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration,
or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
If for any
reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be
commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal
courts located in
Delaware
, and the Parties hereby consent to, and
waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect
to venue and jurisdiction in such
state and federal courts
. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) is excluded
from these Terms of Use.
The
Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the
Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration
shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority
for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class
action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be
brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public
or any other persons.
The
Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above
provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any
Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of
the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or
arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized
use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be
illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute
falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or
unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties
agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
