Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH WINCAN AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

In the event of dispute between the parties arising hereunder, and if such dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, the parties first will try in good faith to settle their dispute through mediation administered through the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures.   If they are unable to resolve the dispute through such mediation process, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The prevailing party in any such dispute shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including attorney fees, from the other party. The location of the mediation or arbitration shall be New York, New York.

Notwithstanding the paragraph above, we both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in U.S. small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable U.S. federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a U.S. court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms of Use, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located in New Jersey for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.

Any claim under these Terms of Use must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred. You agree to the admissibility of computer records and electronic evidence in any dispute herein. YOU AGREE THAT NO CLASS ACTION MAY BE PURSUED OR MAINTAINED WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THESE TERMS OF USE.
