PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – Purchasing, using, or accessing the Products or Services constitutes your acceptance of this Arbitration Agreement (“Arbitration Agreement”). Please read it carefully as it provides that you and the Company waive any right to file a lawsuit in court or participate in a class action for matters within the scope of the Arbitration Agreement.
a) Scope of Arbitration Agreement. ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES, OR CLAIMS (“DISPUTES”) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TERMS (INCLUDING ANY QUESTION REGARDING THE TERMS’ EXISTENCE, VALIDITY OR TERMINATION), ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY, YOUR PURCHASE(S) FROM THE COMPANY, YOUR COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE COMPANY (WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH A THIRD PARTY), AND/OR YOUR ACCOUNT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, SHALL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. YOU AGREE THAT THE COMPANY AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY A JURY EXCEPT THAT (A) YOU MAY SEEK RELIEF IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF YOUR CLAIMS QUALIFY AND (B) YOU OR THE COMPANY MAY SEEK EQUITABLE RELIEF IN COURT FOR INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS TRADEMARKS, TRADE DRESS, DOMAIN NAMES, TRADE SECRETS AND PATENTS). YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS BUT MAY BE CONSOLIDATED WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS PURSUANT TO THE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION MEDIATION SERVICES, INC. (“JAMS”) RULES CITED BELOW. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND YOU AGREE TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND CLASS ARBITRATION. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THESE TERMS PRECLUDE YOU FROM BRINGING ISSUES TO THE ATTENTION OF FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL AGENCIES.
b) Pre-Arbitration Procedures. You and the Company agree that in the event of a Dispute you will first contact the Company by email at nte.legal@perfectworld.com to attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If the Dispute cannot be resolved through such informal process or through negotiation within sixty (60) days, you and the Company agree to resolve the Dispute through binding and final arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Agreement instead of through court proceedings unless permitted by this Arbitration Agreement.
c) Governing Law. The Federal Arbitration Act, codified at 9 U.S.C. §§ 1–16, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. In all other respects, the laws of the State of California shall control (without regard to conflicts of law principles) the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and these Terms unless applicable law requires otherwise.
d) Arbitration Procedures and Rules. Unless modified by this Arbitration Agreement, the arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures or the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures as applicable. The JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply to all arbitrations to which those procedures apply. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will agree upon an alternative arbitral forum.
e) Mass Arbitration; Coordination of Filings. In instances where seventy-five (75) or more Disputes that raise similar claims and have the same or coordinated counsel, the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply
f) Arbitration Forum. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties, with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, and in accordance with applicable laws. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the applicable rule-making authority or by the arbitrator.
g) Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to: (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement; (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any assertion that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable; and (c) resolve all Disputes within the scope of this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have, including to grant temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief), and relief providing for specific performance of these Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.
The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
h) Jury Trial Waiver. YOU AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY UNLESS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST.
i) No Class Actions or Class Arbitrations Permitted. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY. This means that neither you nor the Company may bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action or class arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything else in this Arbitration Agreement, individual arbitrations may be consolidated pursuant to applicable JAMS rules, and the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines shall apply to all arbitrations to which those procedures apply. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement, including this section, is intended to limit the relief available to you in small claims court. Nor does anything in this section limit your or the Company’s ability to resolve a Dispute by mutual agreement through a class-wide settlement of claims, whether through mediation or otherwise.
j) 30-Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out by email to nte.legal@perfectworld.com with the subject line “Arbitration Opt-Out.” The notice must be sent to the Company within thirty (30) days of your first registering to use the Products or Services or agreeing to these Terms, whichever is earlier, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with this Arbitration Agreement. If you timely opt-out of these arbitration provisions, the Company also will not be bound by them.
k) Severability and Survival. If any provision of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of this Arbitration Agreement and the Terms shall continue in full force and effect. The Arbitration Agreement survives the termination of your relationship with the Company.
