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.
Binding Arbitration
Any dispute arising out of or in connection
with this contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity,
or termination, shall be referred to and finally resolved by the International
Commercial Arbitration Court under the European Arbitration Chamber (Belgium,
Brussels, Avenue Louise, 146) according to the Rules of this ICAC, which, as a
result of referring to it, is considered as the part of this clause. The number
of arbitrators shall be three (3). The seat, or legal place, of arbitration
shall be Toronto, Canada. The language of the proceedings shall be English. The
governing law of the contract shall be the substantive law of Canada.
Restrictions
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.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
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.
