Binding Individual Arbitration
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TOFILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS IN THIS SECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.
YOU AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND QYRE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING,INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
THIS NOTICE DOES NOT APPLY: (1) IF YOU ARE A RESIDENT OF THE EEA, OR ANY JURISDICTION WHICH DOES NOT ALLOW THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, OR (2) IF YOU OPTOUT OF ARBITRATION AS DESCRIBED IN THE "ARBITRATION" SECTION BELOW.
If you live in the United States or another jurisdiction which allows you to agree to arbitration, you and Qyre agree to arbitrate all Disputes regardless of whether the Dispute is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort(including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory, except that each party retains the right:(a) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (b) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution procedure that allows us to resolve issues without the formality of going to court. Any dispute between us and you is submitted to a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury) for fair and fast resolution.
In the event of any dispute, controversy, or difference, arising among or out of, orin relation to, or in connection with the interpretation or performance of this Agreement or any of the terms hereof, or a breach hereof (“Dispute”), the parties hereto shall promptly conduct informal discussions and negotiations in good faith with a view to resolve such Dispute effecting as nearly as possible the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Any resolution of such Dispute shall be set forth in a writing signed by the parties.
If such Dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved by the Parties themselves through friendly consultation within a period of thirty (30) calendar days after notice by you to Qyre of a Dispute, you or Qyre may commence an arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.
The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to either JAMSStreamlines (for claims under $250,000) or the JAMS Comprehensive (for claims over $250,000) arbitration rules and procedure in effect at the time the request for arbitration is made, except as modified herein, including the optional appeal procedure (the “Arbitration Rules”). The Tribunal will consist of one arbitrator having experience in intellectual property and commercial disputes. The place of arbitration will be the Los Angeles, California office of JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”). The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings will be English. You and Qyre agree that whether a dispute is subject to arbitration under this Agreement will be determined by the arbitrator rather than a court. Any decision or award will include a written statement stating the decision of each claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator’s essential factual and legal findings and conclusions. Judgment upon the decision or award rendered by the arbitrator maybe entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Qyre will pay its arbitration costs as required by the Arbitration Rules and, in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation. Each side shall pay his, her, or its own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be paid its fees and/or litigation costs, in which case the arbitrator shall award fees or costs as required by the applicable law.
This Binding Individual Arbitration section survives any termination of thisAgreement. Further, although we may revise this Agreement, Privacy Policy, or other related agreements at our discretion, we not have the right to alter this agreement to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with respect to anyDispute once that Dispute has accrued. If any part of this Binding IndividualArbitration section is deemed invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, or illegal provision had not been included.
Class Action Waiver
THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS DESCRIBED ABOVE WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. Neither You nor Qyre shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against other individuals or entities, or to arbitrate any dispute in a representative capacity, including, without limitation, as are presentative member of a class or in a private attorney general capacity, in connection with any Dispute. Further, unless both you and we agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claim. The arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law, but to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, may not award relief against Qyre respecting any person other than you.
