Governing Law/Waiver of Injunctive Relief.
This Agreement and all aspects of the Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the U.S. and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts governing contracts entered into and to be fully performed in Massachusetts (thus, without regard to conflict of laws provisions) regardless of your location. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state or federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Boston, Massachusetts.
You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to Cloaked are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which will irreparably harm Cloaked and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone, so that Cloaked will be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Cloaked agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send your notice to Cloaked, Inc., 1075 Westford Street, Suite 305, Lowell, MA 01851 USA.
Mandatory Arbitration. If you and Cloaked are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations within 30 days, either you or Cloaked may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) of JAMS, which is available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.
Notwithstanding the above, you and Cloaked agree that arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Cloaked and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration will be joined with any other; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize 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.
You and Cloaked agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Cloaked’s intellectual property rights; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief or to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
Waiver/Severability.
The failure of Cloaked to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right under any provision of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Cloaked’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.
You and Cloaked agree that if any portion of this Agreement, except any portion of Section 12.4, is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which will continue to be in full force and effect. If Section 12.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Cloaked will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 12.4 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Boston, Massachusetts, and you and Cloaked agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
Term and Termination. This Agreement will remain in effect as long as your account is up-to-date and you remain in compliance with the terms hereof, unless it has been voluntarily suspended or terminated by you or Cloaked. You may terminate this Agreement by destroying all Service-related materials obtained from the Service, Cloaked or any other web site or source. The privileges granted to you under this Agreement will terminate immediately and automatically without notice from Cloaked if, in our sole discretion, you fail to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement or for any reason in Cloaked’s sole discretion. Following the termination of this Agreement, your account(s), or the Service, Cloaked shall retain all rights to the Submissions pursuant to this Agreement.
