12.2 Dispute Resolution.
(a) Informal Dispute Resolution. Insituware intends to resolve any and all disputes that may arise between it and its Users in a cost-effective and non-disruptive manner, preferably without the time and expense of formal dispute resolution. Toward this end, you agree to the following dispute resolution procedure. If you are unable to resolve any dispute in the ordinary course of business, you shall send a written notice to Insituware in which you outline the issues in dispute, enclose any relevant documents, and state the requested relief. Insituware shall respond within ten (10) business days with identical information from its perspective. You and a representative of Insituware shall meet or communicate electronically within ten (10) business days of the delivery of the response, and as often as you and Insituware mutually deem necessary or desirable thereafter, in an attempt to resolve the matter. If, within sixty (60) days of the first communication, you and Insituware fail to resolve the matter, you may then proceed to arbitration as described below.
(b) Arbitration. After failing to mutually resolve any disputes by the informal dispute resolution provided above and except for equitable claims, small claims court, and claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s intellectual property rights, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Platform shall be submitted to and settled through binding arbitration. By agreeing to arbitrate, the parties hereby waive their rights to a jury trial.
(i) The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with this Agreement, the Federal Arbitration Act and the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”). In the event of a conflict, the provisions of the AAA Rules will control, except where those Rules conflict with this Agreement, in which case this Agreement will control.
(ii) The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected as provided in the AAA Rules and who shall have at least five (5) years of relevant experience. The arbitration shall be commenced and held in the State of New Jersey, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by the parties. No potential arbitrator may be appointed unless the potential arbitrator has agreed in writing to be bound by these procedures.
(iii) To the extent state law is applicable, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of New Jersey. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply. Any issue concerning the location of the arbitration, the extent to which any dispute is subject to arbitration, the applicability, interpretation, or enforceability of these procedures, including any contention that all or part of these procedures are invalid or unenforceable, and any discovery disputes, shall be resolved by the arbitrator.
(iv) Each party will be entitled to reasonable discovery in preparation for the arbitration, including the production of relevant documents and the deposition of witnesses. Any disputes involving discovery shall be heard and resolved by the arbitrator. All objections are reserved for the arbitration hearing, except for objections based on privilege and proprietary or confidential information.
(v) All aspects of the arbitration shall be treated as confidential and neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Before making any such disclosure, a party shall give written notice to all other parties and shall afford such parties a reasonable opportunity to protect their interests.
(vi) The decision of the arbitrator shall be reduced to writing, shall be final and binding on the parties except for fraud, misconduct, or errors of law, and judgment upon the decision rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall make a finding as to which party is the substantially prevailing party in any final decision issued by the arbitrator for determination of the payment of fees and costs, as provided below.
(c) Fees and Costs Paid to Substantially Prevailing Party. The parties agree that the substantially prevailing party in any arbitration or litigation regarding a dispute arising out of this Agreement shall have its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with the arbitration or litigation paid by the other party.
(d) Jury and Class Action Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE SOLELY CONDUCTED BY YOU ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR SIMILAR ACTION. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE.
12.3 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to a party, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons other than those to whom it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected and each remaining provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
12.4 Non-Waiver.
Except as provided herein, the failure to exercise a right or require performance of an obligation under this Agreement shall not effect a party’s ability to exercise such right or require such performance at any time thereafter nor shall the waiver of a breach constitute waiver of any subsequent breach.
