- Dispute Resolution.
- General. If a dispute arises between you and us, our goal is to utilize a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, we both agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of these Terms or the Services in accordance with one for the procedures outlined below or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. We strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting our customer service before resorting to the procedures outlined below. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve disputes through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation. Other than those matters listed in section 14.2, we both agree to seek resolution of a dispute only through binding arbitration of that dispute in accordance with the terms of this Section 14, and not litigate any dispute in court. "Arbitration" means that the dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. IF YOU ARE IN A STATE THAT LIMITS THE ENFORCEABILITY OF PRE-DISPUTE ARBITRATION CLAUSES AND/OR CLASS ACTION WAIVERS, THE FOREGOING AND FOLLOWING PROVISIONS AND/OR PORTIONS THEREOF, MIGHT NOT BE APPLICABLE TO YOU.
- Exclusions from Arbitration. YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM FILED BY YOU OR BY US IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR BY US RELATED TO PROTECTION OF OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR ANY OF OUR LICENSORS' INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 14.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 14, YOU MUST NOTIFY US IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST BE MAILED TO OUR TERMS ADMINISTRATOR at termsadmin@scorenomics.com AND MUST INCLUDE (1) YOUR FULL NAME, (2) YOUR USERNAME IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, (3) YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, INCLUDING YOUR CURRENT MAILING ADDRESS, (4) THE NAME OF THE CREDITOR OR COMPANY THAT REFERRED YOU TO OUR SERVICES, IF AVAILABLE, AND (5) A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION.
- Class Action Waiver. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A NAMED OR UNNAMED MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, UNLESS WE BOTH SPECIFICALLY AGREE TO DO SO IN WRITING FOLLOWING INITIATION OF THE ARBITRATION.
- Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding; Selection of Arbitrator. If either you or we elect to resolve a dispute through Arbitration, the party initiating the arbitration proceeding may initiate it with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), www.adr.org, or JAMS, www.jamsadr.com. The terms of this Section 14 govern in the event they conflict with the rules of the arbitration organization selected by the parties.
- Arbitration Procedures. Because the software and/or service we provide you concerns interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA") governs the arbitration of all disputes. However, applicable federal or state law may also apply to the substance of any disputes. For claims of less than $75,000, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for ConsumerRelated Disputes ("Supplementary Procedures") will apply, including the schedule of arbitration fees set forth in Section C8 of the Supplementary Procedures; for claims over $75,000, the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules and relevant fee schedules for nonclass action proceedings will apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 18007787879. Further, if your claims do not exceed $75,000, and you provided notice to, and negotiated in good faith with us, and if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, then you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator, in addition to any rights to recover the same under controlling state or federal law afforded to us or you. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
- Venue. The exclusive venue for the resolution of any dispute via binding arbitration or litigation shall be Orange or Los Angeles County, California. You hereby agree to such exclusive venue, and expressly waive any objections to such venue, including without limitation any objections based upon lack of personal jurisdiction and/or forum non conveniens.
- Severability. If any clause related within this Section 14 (other than the Class Action Waiver clause of Section 14.4) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section 14 and the remainder of this Section 14 will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause of Section 14.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section 14 will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a federal or state court located in Orange County, California, and we both agree to waive in that instance, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
- Survival. If any clause related within this Section 14 (other than the Class Action Waiver clause of Section 14.4) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section 14 and the remainder of this Section 14 will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause of Section 14.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section 14 will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a federal or state court located in Orange County, California, and we both agree to waive in that instance, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
- General. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of laws principles. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, such portion will be modified to reflect the parties' intention and only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and us regarding this subject matter and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written and oral; provided, however, that these Terms do not alter in any way terms and conditions of any other agreement you may have with us regarding the Services. In the event of an inconsistency or conflict amongst the terms in any agreement(s) you may have with us, the most stringent terms shall control.
