Both you and Andros consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Andros may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction (i) to compel arbitration pursuant to the Terms below or (ii) to enforce an arbitral award issued thereunder.
12. Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate on an Individual Basis.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND ANDROS TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND ANDROS CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER.
You agree that any and all past, present and future disputes, claims or causes of action between you and Andros arising out of or relating to the Agreement, the Services, the formation of the Agreement, or any other dispute between you and Andros or any of Andros’s Service Vendors, licensors, distributors, suppliers or agents (including any third-party application store or platform from which the Services are accessed or downloaded), and whether arising prior to or after your agreement to this Section, (collectively, “Dispute(s)”) will be governed by the procedure outlined below. You and Andros further agree that any arbitration pursuant to this Section shall not proceed as a class, group, or representative action.
(a) Informal Dispute Resolution. Andros wants to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing a claim against Andros, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting Andros at the address above. Similarly, if you have provided an email address to us as part of your registration for the Services, Andros agrees to do the same. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the notification of the Dispute is sent, you or Andros may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below.
(b) We Both Agree to Arbitrate. By agreeing to these Terms, you and Andros each and both agree to resolve any Disputes—including any Dispute concerning the enforceability, validity, scope, or severability of this agreement to arbitrate—through final and binding arbitration as discussed herein, except as set forth below.
(c) Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You may decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting Andros at the address above within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name, and email address) decline this arbitration agreement. By opting out of the agreement to arbitrate, you will not be precluded from using the Services, but you and Andros will not permitted to invoke the mutual agreement to arbitrate to resolve Disputes under the terms otherwise provided herein.
(d) Arbitration Procedures and Fees. You and Andros agree that JAMS in Hennepin County, Minnesota will administer the arbitration under its JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). Those rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/ (or its successor website). Arbitration will proceed on an individual basis and will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. The arbitration proceeding and any award shall be confidential. You and Andros further agree that the arbitration will be held in Hennepin County, Minnesota, or, at your election, will be conducted telephonically or via video conference or other remote electronic means. The JAMS Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. This Section shall be construed under and be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, notwithstanding any other choice of law set out in this Agreement.
(e) Arbitration Shall Proceed Individually. You and Andros agree that the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor Andros may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a “Collective Arbitration”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against Andros will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. “Concurrently” for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.
(f) Class Action and Collective Arbitration Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR ANDROS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN, OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION (AS DEFINED ABOVE) OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN THE EVENT ALL OR ANY PORTION OF SUBSECTIONS (E) OR (F) OF THIS SECTION ARE FOUND TO BE INVALID OR LESS THAN FULLY ENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS SECTION MAY BE DEEMED VOID AND AS HAVING NO EFFECT UPON EITHER PARTY’S ELECTION.
(g) Intellectual Property Claims. You agree that notwithstanding the requirement that all Disputes be resolved through binding arbitration, in the event the Company has a claim against you relating to copyright infringement, trademark infringement, patent infringement, actual or threatened misappropriation of trade secrets, or actual or threatened breach of the confidentiality provisions in this Agreement, the Company may commence an action in state or federal court in Hennepin County, Minnesota to obtain a temporary or preliminary injunction to prevent any or all such acts from continuing, with or without notice to you. Under such circumstances, you acknowledge that any such violation will result in irreparable harm to the Company, and therefore you consent to the immediate issuance of a temporary or preliminary injunction. You further agree that such an injunction shall be conditioned upon the Company posting an injunction bond in the amount of $5,000.00. Immediately following the entry of a temporary or preliminary injunction, the court that issued the injunction shall issue a stay of the proceedings pending resolution of binding arbitration consistent with the rest of this section. In the event the Company prevails in the binding arbitration as to the issues or claims that resulted in the issuance of the temporary or preliminary injunction, the arbitrator in its decision shall convert the preliminary or temporary injunction to a permanent injunction.
