Dispute Resolution

(a) If you have any concerns or queries regarding our services, you agree to first attempt to resolve it informally through our customer support portal at [mailto:adminsupport@battleoftheleaderboards.com]. We find that most concerns can be quickly addressed in this manner. You and we shall use our best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through this informal process which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

(b) If the parties do not reach a mutually agreed solution within a period of 60 days from the time of initiation of the process described in Section 9(a) of this Agreement, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to formally resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Privacy Policy (including, without limitation, interpretation, formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of any of the Games or the Application shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules or Streamlined Arbitrations Rules, as appropriate, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. This arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”) shall apply to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and formation of this Agreement notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including without limitation any claim that all or any part of this Agreement or the Privacy Policy is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The JAMS Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at http://www.jamsadr.com/ or by calling JAMS at (800) 352-5267. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and, to the extent applicable, the Consumer Minimum Standards, including the then-current limit on arbitration filing fees. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

(c) Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PRIVACY POLICY ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, GROUP OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, COURT, OR OTHERWISE). If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to assert claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation.

Additional Terms

(a) This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Arkansas and the United States. Any dispute arising from, or related to, your use of the Application shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the State of Arkansas.

(b) Should a court of competent jurisdiction determine that any portion of this Agreement is invalid, the remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced to the maximum extent possible.

(c) Under no circumstance shall you assign this Agreement. We may assign this Agreement pursuant to a sale or reorganization of the Company or its assets.
