Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control costs, both parties agree to attempt to negotiate any dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Informal negotiations begin upon written notice from one party to the other.

Binding Arbitration

Any dispute arising between the parties shall be determined by one arbitrator chosen in accordance with the Arbitration and Internal Rules of the European Court of Arbitration (part of the European Centre of Arbitration in Strasbourg). The seat of arbitration shall be Liverpool, United Kingdom. Proceedings shall be conducted in English under United Kingdom substantive law.

Restrictions

Any arbitration shall be limited to the dispute between the parties individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law: no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; there is no right for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis; and there is no right for any dispute to be brought in a representative capacity on behalf of the general public or other persons.

Exceptions

The following disputes are not subject to informal negotiation or binding arbitration: disputes concerning intellectual property rights; disputes arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorised use; and claims for injunctive relief. Such disputes shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in Liverpool.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed without affecting the validity of the remaining provisions.
