Except as otherwise required by Section 12 below, any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out of, or related to, this Agreement or the Service will be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of the State of Delaware applying Delaware law.

- Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver; Arbitration
12.1 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND VIVAMO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
12.2 Arbitration Agreement
12.2.1 Vivamo and you each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Service (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by final and binding, individual arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying Delaware law located in the Wilmington, DE. Notwithstanding the forgoing, (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.

Where no party’s claim exceeds $25,000 USD (excluding interest, attorneys’ fees and arbitration fees and costs), and in other cases where the parties agree, Section E-6 of the Expedited Procedures of the American Arbitration Association’s Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section above.
12.2.3 The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and notwithstanding Section 11 referencing applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16) will govern any arbitration conducted in accordance with this Agreement.
12.3 Arbitration Proceedings
12.3.1 Before initiating arbitration, a party must notify the other party of its intention to initiate arbitration. This notice should specify the intended filing date of the arbitration demand, which must be at least 30 days after the notice date. During this period, the parties will meet to attempt to resolve the dispute prior to commencing arbitration.
12.3.2 Subject to the requirements outlined in Section 12.3.1 of this Agreement, either party may initiate arbitration by submitting a written demand to the American Arbitration Association and the other party. The demand must state the subject of the dispute and the relief sought.
12.3.3 The appointed arbitrator(s) may award monetary damages and any other remedies permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, subject to the disclaimers and limitations of liability stated in this Agreement. The arbitrator does not have the authority to alter any terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator will provide a reasoned, written decision to each party, who must promptly comply with the arbitrator’s decision. Any award (including interim or final remedies) may be confirmed or enforced in a state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on the parties and not subject to appeal or review.
12.3.4 In accordance with the AAA Rules, the initiating party is responsible for paying the applicable filing fee. Each party will advance one-half of the arbitrator’s fees and expenses, the costs of the arbitration reporter’s attendance at the hearing, and the costs of the arbitration facility. In any arbitration related to this Agreement, the arbitrator will award the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in connection with the aspects of its claims or defenses on which it prevails. Opposing awards of costs and legal fees will be offset.
12.3.5 The parties agree to maintain the confidentiality of the existence of the arbitration, the arbitration proceedings, the hearing, and the arbitrator’s decision, except as follows: (a) to prepare for and conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits; (b) in connection with a court Application for a preliminary remedy, or to confirm or enforce an arbitrator’s decision; (c) Vivamo may disclose the arbitrator’s decision during confidential settlement negotiations; (d) each party may disclose necessary information to professional advisors who are bound by a strict duty of confidentiality; and (e) as otherwise required by law. All parties involved, including witnesses and the arbitrator, will treat as confidential and not disclose to any third party (other than witnesses or experts) any documentary or other evidence produced in any arbitration, unless required by law or if the evidence was obtained from the public domain or independently from the arbitration.
12.4 Jury Trial Waiver
IN THE EVENT THAT ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, BOTH PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ALL MATTERS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, AND ENCOMPASSES ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
