10.2 Dispute Resolution. Please
read this Arbitration Agreement carefully.
It is part of your contract with Company
and affects your rights. It contains
procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION
AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
(a)
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All
claims and disputes (excluding claims for
injunctive or other equitable relief as set
forth below) in connection with the Terms or
the use of any product or service provided
by the Company that cannot be resolved
informally or in small claims court shall be
resolved by binding arbitration on an
individual basis under the terms of this
Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise
agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall
be held in English. This Arbitration
Agreement applies to you and the Company,
and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents,
employees, predecessors in interest,
successors, and assigns, as well as all
authorized or unauthorized users or
beneficiaries of services or goods provided
under the Terms.
(b) Notice Requirement
and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before
either party may seek arbitration, the party
must first send to the other party a written
Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the
nature and basis of the claim or dispute,
and the requested relief. A Notice to the
Company should be sent to: 11521 Alcinda Ln,
North Potomac, Maryland 20878. After the
Notice is received, you and the Company may
attempt to resolve the claim or dispute
informally. If you and the Company do not
resolve the claim or dispute within thirty
(30) days after the Notice is received,
either party may begin an arbitration
proceeding. The amount of any settlement
offer made by any party may not be disclosed
to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator
has determined the amount of the award, if
any, to which either party is
entitled.
(c) Arbitration Rules.
Arbitration shall be initiated through the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an
established alternative dispute resolution
provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers
arbitration as set forth in this section.
If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the
parties shall agree to select an alternative
ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider
shall govern all aspects of the arbitration,
including but not limited to the method of
initiating and/or demanding arbitration,
except to the extent such rules are in
conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer
Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”)
governing the arbitration are available
online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA
at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be
conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.
Any claims or disputes where the total
amount of the award sought is less than Ten
Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be
resolved through binding
non-appearance-based arbitration, at the
option of the party seeking relief. For
claims or disputes where the total amount of
the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S.
Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right
to a hearing will be determined by the
Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held
in a location within 100 miles of your
residence, unless you reside outside of the
United States, and unless the parties agree
otherwise. If you reside outside of the
U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties
reasonable notice of the date, time and
place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on
the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you
an award that is greater than the last
settlement offer that the Company made to
you prior to the initiation of arbitration,
the Company will pay you the greater of the
award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear
its own costs (including attorney’s fees)
and disbursements arising out of the
arbitration and shall pay an equal share of
the fees and costs of the ADR
Provider.
(d) Additional Rules for
Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If
non-appearance based arbitration is elected,
the arbitration shall be conducted by
telephone, online and/or based solely on
written submissions; the specific manner
shall be chosen by the party initiating the
arbitration. The arbitration shall not
involve any personal appearance by the
parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed
by the parties.
(e) Time Limits. If you
or the Company pursue arbitration, the
arbitration action must be initiated and/or
demanded within the statute of limitations
(i.e., the legal deadline for filing a
claim) and within any deadline imposed under
the AAA Rules for the pertinent
claim.
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If
arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator
will decide the rights and liabilities, if
any, of you and the Company, and the dispute
will not be consolidated with any other
matters or joined with any other cases or
parties. The arbitrator shall have the
authority to grant motions dispositive of
all or part of any claim. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to award monetary
damages, and to grant any non-monetary
remedy or relief available to an individual
under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the
Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written
award and statement of decision describing
the essential findings and conclusions on
which the award is based, including the
calculation of any damages awarded. The
arbitrator has the same authority to award
relief on an individual basis that a judge
in a court of law would have. The award of
the arbitrator is final and binding upon you
and the Company.
(g) Waiver of Jury
Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO
COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE
OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims
and disputes shall be resolved by
arbitration under this Arbitration
Agreement. Arbitration procedures are
typically more limited, more efficient and
less costly than rules applicable in a court
and are subject to very limited review by a
court. In the event any litigation should
arise between you and the Company in any
state or federal court in a suit to vacate
or enforce an arbitration award or
otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL
RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing
that the dispute be resolved by a
judge.
(h) Waiver of Class or
Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND
DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR
LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON
A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE
CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR
LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE
OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(i)
Confidentiality. All aspects of the
arbitration proceeding, including but not
limited to the award of the arbitrator and
compliance therewith, shall be strictly
confidential. The parties agree to maintain
confidentiality unless otherwise required by
law. This paragraph shall not prevent a
party from submitting to a court of law any
information necessary to enforce this
Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award,
or to seek injunctive or equitable
relief.
(j) Severability. If any part or
parts of this Arbitration Agreement are
found under the law to be invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then such specific part or
parts shall be of no force and effect and
shall be severed and the remainder of the
Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect.
(k) Right to Waive. Any or all
of the rights and limitations set forth in
this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by
the party against whom the claim is
asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or
affect any other portion of this Arbitration
Agreement.
(l) Survival of Agreement.
This Arbitration Agreement will survive the
termination of your relationship with
Company.
(m) Small Claims Court.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you
or the Company may bring an individual
action in small claims court.
(n)
Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, either party may seek
emergency equitable relief before a state or
federal court in order to maintain the
status quo pending arbitration. A request
for interim measures shall not be deemed a
waiver of any other rights or obligations
under this Arbitration Agreement.
(o)
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of
defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud
and Abuse Act, and infringement or
misappropriation of the other party’s
patent, copyright, trademark or trade
secrets shall not be subject to this
Arbitration Agreement.
(p) Courts. In
any circumstances where the foregoing
Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to
litigate in court, the parties hereby agree
to submit to the personal jurisdiction of
the courts located within Montogomery
County, Maryland, for such purpose
10.3

export control laws and may be subject to
export or import regulations in other

10.5 Electronic
Communications. The communications between
you and Company use electronic means,
whether you use the Site or send us emails,
or whether Company posts notices on the Site
or communicates with you via email. For
contractual purposes, you (a) consent to

terms and conditions, agreements, notices,

Company provides to you electronically
satisfy any legal requirement that such
communications would satisfy if it were be
in a hardcopy writing. The foregoing does
not affect your non-waivable rights.
10.6
Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the
entire agreement between you and us
regarding the use of the Site. Our failure
to exercise or enforce any right or
provision of these Terms shall not operate
as a waiver of such right or provision. The
section titles in these Terms are for
convenience only and have no legal or
contractual effect. The word “including”
means “including without limitation”. If
any provision of these Terms is, for any
reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable,
the other provisions of these Terms will be
unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable
provision will be deemed modified so that it
is valid and enforceable to the maximum
extent permitted by law. Your relationship
to Company is that of an independent
contractor, and neither party is an agent or
partner of the other. These Terms, and your
rights and obligations herein, may not be
assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or
otherwise transferred by you without
Company’s prior written consent, and any
attempted assignment, subcontract,
delegation, or transfer in violation of the
foregoing will be null and void. Company
may freely assign these Terms. The terms
and conditions set forth in these Terms
shall be binding upon assignees.
