DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
61. 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.
Binding Arbitration
62. 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 by 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. 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 Delaware. 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.
63. 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. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.
64. In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose. 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.
65. Once a arbitrator is appointed, the parties agree that:
a) the costs of the arbitrator shall be borne equally between the disputing parties;
b) the chosen arbitrator shall determine the procedures for arbitration; and
c) the chosen arbitrator will not have the power or authority to make any other determination in relation to the dispute.
66. Nothing in this clause prevents a party from commencing proceedings seeking urgent interlocutory relief from a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction to hear the matter, if, in that party’s reasonable opinion, it is necessary to protect their rights.
67. Despite the existence of a dispute the parties must continue to comply with their obligations under the contract.
68. This clause survives termination of these Terms.
FORCE MAJEURE, SECURITY & UNAVAILABILITY
69. If we become unable, wholly or in part, to carry out an obligation under these Terms due to an event beyond our reasonable control (Force Majeure), we will give you prompt written notice of
a) reasonable details of the Force Majeure; and
b) so far as is known, the probable extent to which we will be unable to perform or be delayed in performing our obligations.
70. Subject to compliance with this clause, our obligations will be suspended during the Force Majeure to the extent that we are affected by the Force Majeure.
71. We will use our best endeavours to overcome or remove the Force Majeure as quickly as possible.
72. We take all reasonable steps, however we do not guarantee the security of the Website, our records, or your information. We disclaim all liability for any computer virus or technological problems that are beyond our control.
73. Continuous accessibility to the Website and Program Content is dependent upon third party services and as a result, the Website may be inaccessible from time to time. We cannot guarantee continuous or secure access to our Website and to the extent permitted by law, we do not give any promises or warranties about the availability of our Services, or that the Services will be provided uninterrupted, delay-free or error-free.
APPLICABLE LAW
74. These Terms shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America. You consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the State of Delaware, United States of America to determine any matter or dispute which arises between us.
