26. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY WAIVERS.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES AGREE THE FOLLOWING SHALL APPLY TO ANY DISPUTES AND THEIR RESOLUTION:

AGREEMENT TO CONFIDENTIAL MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES:

If a Dispute arises and cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties agree to endeavor first to settle the Dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to arbitration. The parties further agree that any unresolved Dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators. The place of arbitration shall be Travis County, Texas. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor a mediator or an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any mediation or arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce that party’s Intellectual Property Rights in any court of competent jurisdiction where the other party resides or has its principal place of business.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER:

Any proceedings to resolve any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, consolidation of your Dispute with other arbitrations, or any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity or as a private attorney general are not permitted and are waived by you, and an arbitrator will have no jurisdiction to hear such claims. If a court or arbitrator finds that the class action waiver in this section is unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then the class action waiver will not apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this Dispute resolution section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of this section remaining in full force and effect.

JURY TRIAL WAIVER:

Each party hereby irrevocably waives its rights to trial by jury in any proceedings to resolve any Dispute.

GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE:

These Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with Federal and Texas Arbitration Acts and otherwise with the laws of the State of Texas (without regard of choice of law rules). The exclusive forum and venue for any proceedings to resolve any Disputes shall be arbitration in Travis County, Texas as provided above, and to the extent arbitration is not required in the courts of appropriate jurisdiction in Travis County, Texas.
