DISPUTE RESOLUTION – MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

 

1. Binding Arbitration

Except as specifically stated herein, any dispute or claim between you and Deeper Network arising out of, or relating in any way to, the Terms and Conditions of Use, the site, network, DPN, content, downloads, violations of and local laws or regulations, or any authorized or unauthorized use of the Site or the Interactive Areas (“Disputes”) shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration. By virtue of this Arbitration Agreement (defined below), you and Deeper Network are each giving up the right to go to court and have a Dispute heard by a judge or jury (except as otherwise set forth in this “DISPUTE RESOLUTION – MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” Section). The provisions of this “DISPUTE RESOLUTION – MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” Section shall constitute your and Deeper Network’s written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act (“Arbitration Agreement”). Any modification to this Arbitration Agreement, to be effective, must be in writing and signed by you and Deeper Network. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by this Agreement, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned decision or award.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must comply with the limitations provision set forth in the below “Time Limitations” section of this DISPUTE RESOLUTION – MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER” Section and submit the Dispute by utilizing the forms available at http://www.adr.org, and simultaneously sending a copy of the completed form to the following address:

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary. If the arbitrator grants the request or determines an in-person hearing is necessary, the hearing will proceed in Santa Clara, California, unless the arbitrator determines or we agree that the matter should proceed in the county in which you reside (which county must be in the continental United States of America).

No Class Action Matters

We each agree that we shall bring any Dispute against the other in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated or representative proceeding or as an association. In addition, we each agree that Disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator shall not have the power to vary these provisions.

Choice of Law and Forum; No Jury Trial

If for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court: (a) you agree that any such Dispute may only be instituted in a state or federal court of competent subject matter jurisdiction located in Delaware (b) you and Deeper Network irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for resolution of such Disputes, stipulate to the fairness and convenience of such courts and covenant not to assert any objection to proceeding in such courts; (c) you and Deeper Network agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, the AAA rules, applicable federal law and the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of law, will govern this Agreement and any Disputes; and (d) you and Deeper Network agree to waive any right to a trial by jury or judge.

Injunctive Relief

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, either party may bring suit in court seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property or any conduct that violates the “Intellectual Property Rights” section of the Terms and Conditions of Use.

Time Limitations

If either of us wants to assert a Dispute against the other, the party with a Dispute must initiate arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose. Absent commencing the arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose, the Dispute(s) will be forever barred.
