< b>8.10 Dispute Resolution: Agreement to Arbitrate
Please read the following sections carefully, as they affect your rights.
ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND GIBBS RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SERVICES OR CONTENT, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION, FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT, OR NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (“DISPUTE”), WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. IF IT CANNOT BE RESOLVED THROUGH NEGOTIATION AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8.10. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT THE DISPUTE WILL BE RESOLVED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. THE ARBITRATOR WILL DECIDE ALL THRESHOLD QUESTIONS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ISSUES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY, OR VALIDITY OF THIS SECTION 8.10 AND WHETHER EITHER PARTY LACKS STANDING TO ASSERT THEIR CLAIM(S). VENUE FOR ANY ARBITRATION CLAIM SHALL RESIDE IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, YOU AND GIBBS AGREE THAT (A) ANY DISPUTE THAT MAY BE BROUGHT IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT MAY BE INSTITUTED IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IN YOUR COUNTY OF RESIDENCE OR SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS INSTEAD OF BEING RESOLVED THROUGH ARBITRATION, AND (B) EITHER PARTY MAY SEEK INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO (I) ENJOIN INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF ANY PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, VIOLATION OF ANY DATA USE RESTRICTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER MISUSE OF THE CONTENT), OR (II) ENJOIN SCRAPING, WEB CRAWLING OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO EITHER PARTY’S WEB SITES OR SERVICES.

If you have a Dispute with Gibbs, you must send written notice describing the Dispute to Gibbs to allow Gibbs an opportunity to resolve the Dispute informally through negotiation. You must send your notice to the following address: Gibbs Software Solutions, Inc., 25 Braintree Hill Office Park, Braintree, MA 02184. If we have a Dispute with you, we will send written notice (e-mail or letter) describing the Dispute to you. The parties agree to negotiate resolution of a Dispute in good faith for no fewer than 45 days after notice of a Dispute has been provided. If the Dispute is not resolved within 45 days from receipt of notice of the Dispute, you or Gibbs may proceed to have the Dispute resolved through arbitration as each party’s exclusive Dispute resolution process (except for the limited exceptions set forth above).

Any arbitration, if required, will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its then current and applicable rules and procedures, which are located at http://www.adr.org, and these rules will govern the payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees, unless this Section 8.10 expressly provides otherwise. The party submitting a dispute for resolution through arbitration will pay AAA’s filing fee. Each party will pay their pro rata share of administration and arbitrator fees under AAA’s rules; provided however, if AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules are applicable, Gibbs will make arrangements to pay all necessary administration and arbitrator fees directly to AAA. If AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules are applicable and you lose the claim(s) you assert against Gibbs, you agree to reimburse Gibbs for your pro rata share of administration and arbitrator fees; provided however, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Gibbs will pay as much of the administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous or that you asserted the claim(s) for harassment or any other improper purpose, you agree to reimburse Gibbs for all administration and arbitrator fees paid by Gibbs. The party that ultimately loses will pay the reasonable documented attorneys’ fees and costs of both parties.

The arbitration shall be held in Boston, Massachusetts. If the value of the relief sought is US$25,000 or less, the arbitration will be conducted based solely on written submissions; provided, however, either of us may request to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or in-person hearing, which request shall be subject to the arbitrator’s discretion. Attendance at any in-person hearing may be made by telephone by you and/or us, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. Keeping in mind that arbitration must remain a fast and economical process, no discovery or exchange of information between us is contemplated. Upon request by either of us, the arbitrator may direct specific information be exchanged and may issue a protective order limiting the use and disclosure of exchanged information; provided however, the scope of information the arbitrator may direct to be exchanged shall be limited to what the arbitrator determines is needed to provide for a fundamentally fair process. Either party may file a dispositive motion to narrow the issues.

YOU AND GIBBS EACH WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO CONDUCT DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS IN A CLASS ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. YOU AND GIBBS EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, WITH THE SOLE EXCEPTION OF REPRESENTATIVE SUITS THAT ARE PERMITTED BY, AND DEEMED UNWAIVABLE UNDER, STATE LAW. IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

If any clause within this Section 8.10 (other than the class action waiver clause above) is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section 8.10, and the remainder of this Section will be given full effect. If the arbitrator determines this Section 8.10 is unenforceable, invalid, or has been revoked as to any claim(s), then the Dispute as to such claim(s) will be decided by the courts in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, Business Section, or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. If the class action waiver clause is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section 8.10 will be unenforceable, and the Dispute will be decided by the courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County, Business Section, or the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, and the parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

The Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any Dispute that might arise between Gibbs and you.

12.11 Entire Agreement
These Terms, Payment Policy, and Privacy Policy are the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Gibbs (excluding any services for which you have a separate agreement with Gibbs that is explicitly in addition to or in place of these Terms), and these Terms supersede and replace any prior agreements between Gibbs and you regarding the Services.
