  1.           MANDATORY ARBITRATION

 

In the event of any claim, controversy, or dispute under or otherwise in connection with this Agreement (a "Dispute"), such Dispute shall be resolved exclusively by arbitration in accordance with Schedule A attached hereto. However, if the Dispute is not subject to arbitration (either because Customer opted-out of the arbitration in the manner described in Schedule A, or because a court of competent jurisdiction determined that the agreement to arbitrate does not to apply to Customer or the Dispute) then the Dispute shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the competent courts located in New York County, New York, USA, and the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and waive any jurisdictional, improper venue, inconvenient forum, or other objections to such jurisdiction and venue.

 

Regardless of any Law to the contrary, Customer agrees that any claim or cause of action arising under, or otherwise in connection with, this Agreement (other than to seek equitable relief or to otherwise protect or enforce a Party's Intellectual Property Rights) must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after such claim or cause of action arose, or else Customer agrees that such claim or cause of action will be barred forever. Any claims or damages that Customer may hereunder shall only be enforceable against Company, and not any other entity (such as Company Affiliates) or Company's officers, directors, representatives, employees, or agents. Moreover, if Customer are a consumer (as defined in the Laws of your jurisdiction), this Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, exclude or limit any mandatory rights Customer may have under the consumer protection Laws of Customer's jurisdiction.

The Platform may present, or otherwise allow Customer to view, access, link to, and/or interact with, Content from third parties and other sources that are not owned or controlled by Company (such Content, "Third Party Content"). The Platform may also enable Customer to communicate with the related third parties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, use of the open source software will be subject to the license terms and conditions applicable to such open source software, to the extent required by the applicable licensor (which terms and conditions shall not restrict the license rights granted to Customer hereunder), and to the extent any such license terms and conditions grant Customer rights that are inconsistent with the limited rights granted to Customer in this Agreement, then such rights in the applicable open source license shall take precedence over the rights and restrictions granted in this Agreement, but solely with respect to such open source software.

In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it as aforesaid, then such provision will be ineffective solely as to such jurisdiction, and will be substituted (in respect of such jurisdiction) with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the original legal intent and economic impact of such provision.

 

15.8.       Waiver and Remedies. No failure or delay on the part of either Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Any waiver granted hereunder must be in writing, duly signed by the waiving Party, and will be valid only in the specific instance in which given. Except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, no right or remedy conferred upon or reserved by either Party under this Agreement is intended to be, or will be deemed, exclusive of any other right or remedy under this Agreement, at law, or in equity, but will be cumulative of such other rights and remedies.

SCHEDULE A

 

Mandatory Arbitration

 

Capitalized terms not defined in this Schedule shall have the meanings given to them in the main body of the Agreement to which this Schedule is attached.

 

  1.       Vyzer wants to address Customer's concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing a claim against Vyzer, Customer agrees to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting hello@vyzer.com. If a Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the email noting the Dispute is sent, you may initiate proceedings, as set forth in this Schedule A.

 

  1.       Customer and Vyzer agree to resolve any Dispute only by FINAL AND BINDING BILATERAL ARBITRATION in accordance with the below; except, however, that:

 

(a)  each Party retains the right to bring an individual action: (i) in a small claims court located in your county of residence (or in New York County, New York, USA if you meet the requirements of such court);

(b)  each party retains the right to seek equitable relief to protect any Intellectual Property Rights, in any court of competent jurisdiction; and

(c)  nothing herein precludes Customer from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.

 

  1.       Unless Customer and Vyzer expressly agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration shall take place in-person (except that if telephonic or other remote electronic means are available and permissible, then you may elect to conduct the arbitration via such means) in New York City, New York, USA. The arbitration will be administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), before a single arbitrator and in the English language, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Streamlined Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. The arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, all liability exclusions and limitations), and shall not make any award or decision that is contrary to, or in excess of, what this Agreement provides. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (“FAA”) (and not any state law concerning arbitration) applies to this agreement to arbitrate, and governs all questions of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration.

 

  1.       The arbitrator’s decision must be in writing, and must include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the decision and any award is based. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event any litigation should arise between Customer and Vyzer in any court in a proceeding to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, CUSTOMER AND VYZER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the proceeding be resolved by a judge. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the plaintiff/claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the plaintiff's/claimant’s individual claim.

 

  1.       Regardless of who initiates arbitration for a Dispute, Customer will always remain responsible for Customer's costs and expenses relating to legal counsel, experts, witnesses, and travel to and from the arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Rules. If Customer is an individual and has not accessed or used the Platform on behalf of an entity, Vyzer will reimburse those fees for claims where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000 (unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous), and we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration (unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous). If Vyzer initiates an arbitration for a Dispute, Vyzer will pay all administrative fees and costs related to the arbitration, including all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services.

 

  1.       Other than to a party's legal counsel, all aspects of the Dispute and arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the decision and award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain its confidentiality, unless (and in such cases, only to the extent) otherwise required by applicable Law. However, this paragraph shall not: (a) prevent a party from submitting to a court any information necessary to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek equitable relief; or (b) prevent Vyzer from sharing aspects of the Dispute and arbitration proceeding (including but not limited to the decision and award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith) with Vyzer Affiliates, as well as its and their investors, potential investors and acquirers, and other third parties involved in Vyzer's business (to the extent such third parties have a legitimate interest in knowing).

 

  1.       CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREES THAT, EVEN IF ANYTHING IN THE JAMS STREAMLINED RULES (OR OTHER JAMS RULES, AS APPLICABLE) PERMIT OTHERWISE:

(a)  CUSTOMER AND VYZER ARE HEREBY EACH IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AS WELL AS THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE (FOR EXAMPLE, AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER) IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER CLASS-WIDE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND THAT CUSTOMER MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN CUSTOMER'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY; AND

(b)  NO ARBITRATION WILL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE ANY INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S DISPUTE WITH ANY OTHER PARTY’S DISPUTE.

 

  1.       OPT-OUT: Customer can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate (“Opt-out”) by emailing hello@vyzer.com within thirty (30) days after the date Customer agrees to this Agreement for the first time. The Opt-out email Customer sends to Vyzer must state that Customer does not agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include Customer's name, address, phone number, and email address. Providing an Opt-out notice is the only way Customer can opt-out of this agreement to arbitrate. If Customer Opts-out of this agreement to arbitrate, all other provisions of the Agreement will continue to apply, and Customer will not be permitted to invoke this agreement to arbitrate to resolve any Dispute with Vyzer.

 

  1.       To the extent any provision of this Schedule A is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, Customer and Vyzer agree that the provisions of Section 15.7‎‎ (Severability) shall apply.
