Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with the Company and affects your rights.  It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by the Company that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement.  Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.  This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorised or unauthorised users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to the Company should be sent. After the Notice is received, you and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.  The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award to which either party is entitled.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. All claims and disputes arising from this arbitration agreement must be resolved individually through arbitration or litigation. Claims involving multiple customers or users cannot be combined or consolidated.

Confidentiality. All proceedings related to arbitration must be kept strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality, unless otherwise required by law. This provision does not prohibit a party from disclosing information to a court to enforce the agreement, arbitration award, or seek injunctive or equitable relief.

Severability. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, that specific part will be considered severed and have no effect. The remaining provisions of the agreement will continue to be valid and enforceable.

Right to Waive. The party against whom a claim is made may choose to waive any or all of the rights and limitations stated in this Arbitration Agreement. However, such a waiver will not affect any other provisions of the agreement.

Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will remain in effect even after the termination of your relationship with the Company.

Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the above provisions, either you or the Company may pursue an individual action in small claims court.

Emergency Equitable Relief. In urgent situations, either party may seek emergency equitable relief from a state or federal court to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. Seeking interim measures does not waive any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights, such as patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets, are not subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

Company Contact Information. The Company’s address is 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom.

All terms, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications provided by the Company electronically fulfil any legal requirements as if they were in writing.

Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the use of the Site. Failure to enforce any right or provision in these Terms does not waive that right or provision. Section titles are for convenience only and do not have legal or contractual significance. The term “including” means “including without limitation.” If any provision in these Terms is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain unaffected and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be modified to the maximum extent permitted by law. Your relationship with the Company is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. You may not assign, subcontract, delegate, or transfer your rights and obligations under these Terms without the Company’s prior written consent, while the Company may freely assign these Terms.
