18. DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute,
controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a
'Dispute' and collectively, the 'Disputes') brought by either you
or us (individually, a 'Party' and collectively, the
'Parties'), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any
Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal
negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
Binding
Arbitration
Any dispute
arising from the relationships between the Parties to these Legal Terms shall be determined by one
arbitrator who will be chosen in accordance with the Arbitration and Internal Rules of the European
Court of Arbitration being part of the European Centre of Arbitration having its seat in Strasbourg, and
which are in force at the time the application for arbitration is filed, and of which adoption of this
clause constitutes acceptance. The seat of arbitration shall be
Oxford,
United Kingdom
. The language of the proceedings shall be English
. Applicable rules of substantive law shall be the law of the
United Kingdom
.
Restrictions
The Parties
agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full
extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no
right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilise class action procedures; and
(c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity
on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the
above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to
enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party;
(b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorised use; and (c) any claim
for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party
will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or
unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts
listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that
court.
