13. For residents of the United States of America only: binding arbitration and class action waiver- If your country or state of residence is not the United States of America, then the provisions of this Paragraph 13 do not apply to you.
- PLEASE READ THIS PARAGRAPH 13 CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE YOUR DISPUTE TRIED BEFORE A JURY.
- If your country or state of residence is the United States of America, the BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER provisions in this Paragraph 13 apply to any Dispute between you and us. You further agree that the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Paragraph 13 and this Agreement constitutes a transaction in interstate commerce. The provisions of this Paragraph 13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
- As set out in Paragraph 1 above, please contact us first if you have a complaint. If you and we have not agreed a resolution within a period of 30 days from the day when you first contacted us to try to resolve matters through informal dispute resolution. If you and we do not reach an agreed-upon solution within the informal Dispute resolution period, then, subject to the terms below, the Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Among other things, ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO COURT PROCEEDINGS (INCLUDING A JUDGE OR JURY) IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT AND THE GROUNDS FOR APPEAL BY YOU OR US ARE MORE LIMITED. Either you or we may elect to initiate binding arbitration, and the election to arbitrate a Dispute by one party shall be final and binding on the other.
- If either we or you commence arbitration proceedings, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach), the relationship between you and us and/or your use of the App shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS, a national arbitration body based in the United States of America, and governed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the procedural rules of JAMS that are in effect when the arbitration commences, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class or representative basis (the JAMS Rules). For a copy of the JAMS Rules or more information about JAMS and commencing arbitration proceedings, please visit jamsadr.com.
- There shall be a single neutral arbitrator appointed by agreement between us in accordance with the Jams Rules. The place (or ‘seat’) of the arbitration shall be New York City, New York. To the extent permitted by the JAMS Rules, you may choose to participate in arbitration remotely by videoconference or teleconference. The arbitrator and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. Additionally, the arbitrator shall apply the law of the United States and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief would be available to a court under law or in equity. Nothing in this Paragraph 13 shall in any way limit either party’s rights to bring a limited proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration pursuant to this Agreement, to stay a pending proceeding in favour of arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
- YOU UNDERSTAND AND HEREBY AGREE THAT, BY ACCEPTING THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO BRING A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE YOUR CLAIMS HEARD BY A JURY. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, ABSENT THIS MANDATORY PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL; AND THAT, IN SOME INSTANCES, THE COSTS OF ARBITRATION COULD EXCEED THE COSTS OF LITIGATION AND THE RIGHT TO DISCOVERY MAY BE MORE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION THAN IN COURT.
- YOU AND WE FURTHER AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER PERMITTED ACTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US, AND SHALL BE CONDUCTED IN YOUR AND OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND THAT YOU AND People & Tech Ltd EXPRESSLY WAIVE OUR RIGHTS TO FILE A CLASS-ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF ANY COURT OR ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER SET FORTH IN THIS PARAGRAPH IS VOID OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON OR THAT AN ARBITRATION CAN PROCEED ON A CLASS BASIS, THEN THE ARBITRATION PROVISION SET FORTH ABOVE SHALL BE DEEMED NULL AND VOID IN ITS ENTIRETY AND THE PARTIES SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE NOT AGREED TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES.
- As an exception to the agreement on a binding arbitration under this Paragraph 13 either party may bring legal proceedings in respect of a Dispute before a state or federal court in the United States of America or elsewhere where the legal proceedings only assert claims relating to intellectual property infringement (including claims relating to patents, copyright, moral rights, trade marks and designs, but not claims relating to any licence granted by this Agreement).
- You have a limited right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions in this paragraph 13 by sending written notice of your decision to opt out, marked for the information of our legal team, to the following address: 111 Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
