  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

A- ARBITRATION

You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, including, but not limited to a dispute, claim, or controversy relating to the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration between you and Tech Troops, Inc. Notwithstanding the preceding, each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights, including but not necessarily limited to a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or patents. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you and Tech Troops, Inc. are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class in any purported class action or other representative proceeding. Further, unless agreed to in writing by all parties to be bound, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 9 will be deemed void and unenforceable. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, this Section 9 will survive any termination of these Terms.

B- ARBITRATION RULES AND GOVERNING LAW

The arbitration specified under these Terms will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes promulgated by the AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this Section 9. (The AAA Rules are available at the AAA’s website https://www.adr.org). The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

C- ARBITRATION PROCESS

A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state where the Services are rendered, and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. The AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules in the event the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration.

D- ARBITRATION LOCATION AND PROCEDURE

Unless you and Tech Troops, Inc. otherwise mutually agree in writing, (a) These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, excluding its conflicts of law rules, and (b) the exclusive jurisdiction of the arbitration will be in the State of Illinois. If your claim does not exceed $12,500, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and Tech Troops, Inc. submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $12,500, your right to a hearing will be solely determined by the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration, and so long as consistent with the AAA rules.

E- ARBITRATOR’S DECISION

The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator’s damages award shall be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief guaranteed by the claimant’s individual claim. The prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

F- FEES

The responsibility for payment of any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules.
