Intel Security License Agreement

Thank you for using Intel Security software and services ("Software"), provided by the applicable McAfee entity identified in Section 18("Mcafee","we", or "us"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Intel Corporation. This is a legal agreement between us—installing or accessing our Software means you are agreeing to these terms, so please read them carefully.

This Intel Security License Agreement ("Agreement") covers your rights to use the Software, restrictions on that use, our right to automatically renew and charge you for paid versions or features of the Software, and your agreement to arbitrate any dispute that may arise between us. We have included links to additional terms, such as our Privacy Notice, which are important and together create this legal agreement that applies to you. Country-specific terms are located in the last section of the Agreement.

If you are under the age of 18, you are not pemitted to use the software or provide your personal information to us without the consent of your parent or guardian who must first accept this and administer the software on your behalf.

  1. Accepting this Agreement and Modifications - By clicking an acceptance button and/or installing the Software, you agree unconditionally to be bound by this Agreement and acknowledge that it is enforceable as a written contract signed by you. If you do not unconditionally agree to all of these terms,(i) do not install, use or access this Software, and (ii) promptly return the software with proof of subscription purchase to the party from whom you acquired them. To the extent any translated version of this Agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls. WE MAY MODIFY THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE CONFIDENTIAL ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION BELOW, FROM TIME TO TIME AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION FOR ANY REASON. For example, we may need to reflect changes in the law or updates in how the Software works. It is very important that you keep your account information current, including your email address and other contact information. If we make material changes to this Agreement, we will communicate the changes to you via the contact information you provided (or through other means) and give you an opportunity to review and accept or reject the updated Agreement as set out below.

    For paid subscriptions, you accept change(s) to this Agreement by renewing the subscription, and the change(s) will be effective upon the next renewal of your subscription. If you do not agree to the Agreement as amended, then you may continue to use the version of the Software you purchased for the current term of the Agreement, but you may not update the Software or renew the Agreement. If you withdraw your acceptance of this Agreement, you will need to uninstall and discontinue your use of the Software at that time. If you violate this Agreement, we may terminate your access to and use of the Software.

    For Free Software (as defined in Section 5 below), you accept change(s) to this Agreement by continuing to use the Free Software after the notice described in this section. If you reject the updated Agreement, your license to the Free Software is terminated and you must cease all access to and use of the Free Software and uninstall it.

  2. License to Use - Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and subject to registration of the Software, we hereby grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Software (1) on the number of Personal Computers, for which you have purchased subscription licenses (of which a minimum purchase requirement may apply), and (2) on the licensed Personal Computer user’s Portable Devices as set out in Section 3, provided that such use under (1) and (2) is only for the subscription term purchased by you, and solely for internal business operations. (For the purpose of this Agreement, use of the Software means to access, install, download, copy or otherwise benefit from using the Software). You acknowledge that the Software and all related information are proprietary to us and our suppliers. You will be entitled to Updates which are made generally available by us for so long as you maintain your subscription. This license is revocable by us as provided in this Agreement.

    We, along with our suppliers and partners, retain ownership our respective Software and all rights related to the Software, including all intellectual property rights. The only rights we grant you are those rights expressly stated in this Agreement. Also, if you provide us any comments, information, opinions, or suggestions, which we consider "Feedback," you allow us to use your Feedback without restriction, for any purpose and without compensation to you.

    Your use of the Software is limited to devices and operating systems we support and may be affected by the performance and compatibility of your hardware, software and Internet access. Meeting system requirements is your responsibility and you are responsible for the cost of your equipment, which may include obtaining updates or upgrades from time to time in order to continue using the Software. System requirements are set forth on the product description page (For purposes of this Agreement, product description page means either the webpage describing the product and/or the applicable product data sheet).

  3. Limits on Use – In order for us to keep the Software safe and available for everyone to use, we have to place some restrictions on what you can do with it. The Software is licensed to you, not sold, and it is protected by national and international laws and treaties in the United States and around the world. You do not have any right to reproduce or distribute the Software without our permission, and if you do so you may be subject to fines or any other penalties allowed by the civil and criminal laws of your country. You may not: reverse-engineer or otherwise try to derive source code from the Software, unless allowed by law; adapt or modify the Software or create derivative works based on the Software; publish, copy (other than backup copies if permitted by your subscription), sell, lend, rent, sublicense, assign or in any other way transfer the Software to anyone else; exploit the Software for any commercial purposes; attempt to circumvent technical protection measures in the software; use the Software to violate the law; or engage in any activity that interferes with anyone else’s use of the Software. Each subscription license that you purchase permits you to execute the Software on a single Personal Computer. Use of a single license on more than one Personal Computer is expressly forbidden. However, you may deploy the Software on all of the Personal Computer user’s work-related Portable Devices. The license will not extend to Portable Devices if a user does not have a Personal Computer license. "Personal Computer" means a general purpose computer, laptop or desktop, which is running an operating system supported by the Software. "Portable Devices" means a tablet or mobile device which is running an operating system supported by the Software. If you have installed the Software on a Portable Device and you transfer ownership of that device to someone else, you must ensure that any Software is deleted from that device and that the device information is removed from your account with us. We have the right to terminate or suspend this Agreement, your account, and/or your access to the Software if, in our sole discretion, we determine that you have violated this Agreement. The Software may contain enforcement technology that limits the size of content storage, bandwidth consumption, or the number of devices on which the Software may be installed or that allows us to suspend your access to the Software if you have violated this Agreement or if your subscription has expired.

  4. Registration – You must register each license to the Software that you purchase. Registration is required in order to obtain technical support, in order to claim any included Virus Removal Service session per year of annual subscription per purchased license, and so that any licenses that you purchase in the future will have the same renewal date as your initially purchased licenses. Unused sessions do not roll-over to the next subscription year. It is your obligation to ensure that someone within your organization has access to your registration account and the email address identified in the account profile in order to obtain support from us and to receive the pro-rata rate on additional license purchases described in Section 5.

  5. Term of Agreement - For paid subscriptions, the Agreement is effective beginning on the date of purchase and continuing for the subscription term you purchased and each subsequent term that you renew, unless terminated earlier or later as permitted below; and if no term was specified, the default term is one year from the date you first acquired the subscription. For free versions of the Software, including (i) any features included in a paid subscription for which we no longer charge or which we offer to you at no charge, and (ii) any feature that we give you on a trial, courtesy or evaluation basis or that is labeled as "Pre-Release," "Limited Release," "Beta" or otherwise described as experimental, untested, or not fully functional (collectively "Free Software"), this Agreement is effective for as long as the Free Software is installed or we otherwise make the Free Software available to you. We may choose to provide you with Free Software prior to, during, or after your paid subscription and any use is subject to the terms of this Agreement for as long as the Free Software is installed. We may terminate this Agreement at our option if you fail to comply with its terms and conditions. You may also terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the term by permanently erasing the Software from your devices and canceling your account with us. If this Agreement is terminated, you must stop using the Software and, if you have not done so, you must permanently erase all copies of the Software.

    If you purchase additional licenses of the Software in the future, and you register such licenses to your account, the initial term of such licenses will be automatically reduced so that the renewal date is the same as the renewal date of the Software licenses you initially purchased. You will be charged a prorated subscription price based on a calendar day basis for the reduced initial term. If you do not register them to your account, you will receive no such credit and the subscription term of such additional licenses will be the term that you purchased.

    If the Agreement terminates for any reason or expires, you will no longer be authorized to use or access the Software, including any online storage or backup services, and we may cancel and/or close your account at our sole discretion. After the termination or expiration date, we will follow our standard policies to delete any of your online stored or backed-up information, text, files, links, images or other materials provided to us ("Content"). It is your responsibility to store or backup your Content elsewhere before this Agreement expires or is terminated. We are not responsible for giving you a copy of your Content. Use of Software, at any time, is governed by the terms of this Agreement

  6. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL, CANCELLATION AND REFUND – YOU AGREE THAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED FOR ANOTHER TERM AT THE EXPIRATION OF YOUR CURRENT TERM. BEFORE YOUR TERM EXPIRES, WE WILL SEND A NOTICE TO THE E-MAIL ADDRESS IDENTIFIED IN YOUR ACCOUNT PROFILE, INFORMING YOU OF THE UPCOMING RENEWAL. YOU WILL BE CHARGED THE UNDISCOUNTED SUBSCRIPTION PRICE FOR THE SOFTWARE AS LISTED ON OUR WEBSITE AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL, EXCLUDING ANY PROMOTIONAL OR DISCOUNT PRICING ("UNDISCOUNTED SUBSCRIPTION PRICE"). THIS PRICE MAY CHANGE DURING A SUBSCRIPTION TERM, AND MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE PRICE PAID FOR AN INITIAL SUBSCRIPTION OR MANUAL RENEWAL AND HIGHER THAN PROMOTIONAL OR DISCOUNTED PRICES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE AS OF THE DATE OF AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. WE WILL SEND YOU VIA EMAIL A RECEIPT CONFIRMING THE RENEWAL DATE, PRICE, TERM AND ANY APPLICABLE TAXES. IF, AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL, THE SOFTWARE HAS BEEN RENAMED, UPGRADED OR REPLACED BY A NEW PRODUCT OFFERING WITH COMPARABLE FEATURES ("REPLACEMENT"), WE MAY, AT OUR DISCRETION, AUTOMATICALLY RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION WITH THE REPLACEMENT FOR NO MORE THAN THE UNDISCOUNTED SUBSCRIPTION PRICE OF THE REPLACEMENT.

    UPON RENEWAL, THE NEW TERM WILL BE THE SAME LENGTH AS THE EXPIRED TERM UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED BY US AT THE TIME OF RENEWAL. FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS OF ONE YEAR OR MORE, THE RENEWAL AND YOUR PAYMENT WILL BE PROCESSED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE CURRENT TERM EXPIRATION DATE AND EACH ANNIVERSARY THEREAFTER. WE WILL INFORM YOU OF YOUR ACCOUNT STATUS AND ANY CHANGES TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION.

    TO CANCEL THE AUTO-RENEWAL OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AND AVOID FUTURE BILLING, YOU MUST, PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TERM, INFORM US OF YOUR INTENTION NOT TO RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. YOU MAY TURN OFF AUTOMATIC RENEWAL BY ACCESSING YOUR ONLINE ACCOUNT PAGE OR CONTACTING CUSTOMER SERVICE. IF YOU DO NOT WISH YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO BE AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED, YOU MUST TURN OFF AUTO-RENEWAL AT LEAST THIRTY DAYS BEFORE YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS EXPIRE. IF YOU DO NOT TURN OFF AUTO-RENEWAL, YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THEY ARE CANCELLED BY YOU (OR TERMINATED BY US PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT).

    If you have a monthly subscription, cancelling will not retroactively refund subscription payments, and previously charged subscription fees cannot be pro-rated based on cancellation date. Cancelling a monthly subscription will stop the recurring fee going forward, and you will have access to your subscription until the end of the month in which you notified us of your cancellation.

    For paid subscriptions other than monthly, you may end your use of the Software at any time and we will offer a refund (for the current term only) if requested within 30 days of initial purchase or 60 days of renewal by contacting Customer Service. If you contact Customer Service to cancel your subscription more than 60 days after purchase or renewal, you are not entitled to a refund for any fees that you may have paid in advance for the current term, and you will remain liable for all fees you incur or accrue during the current term.

    YOU AGREE THAT WE MAY CHARGE THE CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD ACCOUNT OR OTHER PAYMENT DEVICE YOU PROVIDED FOR ALL AMOUNTS YOU OWE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY RENEWALS. YOU AGREE TO NOTIFY US PROMPTLY OF ANY CHANGE IN YOUR CARD ACCOUNT NUMBER OR EXPIRATION DATE OR OTHER PAYMENT INFORMATION. FOR CREDIT AND DEBIT CARDS, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT WE MAY ALSO UPDATE SUCH INFORMATION THROUGH YOUR CARD ISSUER AND THE RELEVANT CARD NETWORK AND WE MAY USE THE UPDATED CARD INFORMATION TO CHARGE AMOUNTS YOU OWE US. UNLESS YOU CANCEL YOUR SUBSCRIPTION, THIS WILL SERVE AS YOUR CONSENT FOR YOUR CARD OR PAYMENT DEVICE TO BE CHARGED.

    You are responsible for any charges incurred with your data- or mobile-service provider in connection with your use of the Software, including any overage and penalties assessed for exceeding your data or minute allowance, or use of domestic or international short message service.

  7. Privacy and Collection of Personal or System Information

    The Software, Support or service subscription may employ applications and tools to collect personally identifiable, sensitive or other information about you and users (e.g., including, without limitation, your and your users’ name, address, e-mail address and payment details), their computers, files stored on their computers, or their computers’ interactions with other computers (e.g., including, without limitation, information regarding network, licenses used, hardware type, model, hard disk size, CPU type, disk type, RAM size, 32 or 64 bit architecture, operating system types, versions, locale, BIOS version, BIOS model, total scanners deployed, database size, system telemetry, device ID, IP address, location, content, our products installed, our components, processes and services information, frequency and details of update of our components, information about third party products installed, extracts of logs created by us, usage patterns of our products and specific features, etc.) (collectively, "Data").

Technical Support, Updates & Product Lifecycle – Licensees with unexpired, paid subscriptions who have registered the licenses that they purchased will receive technical support in accordance with our current standard-support offerings, policies, and procedures as described on the McAfee Technical Support website https://service.mcafee.com/. Our standard-support offerings, policies, and procedures may change from time to time at our sole discretion and may vary by country. Any obligation we may have to support the previous version of the Software ends when an upgrade, modified or later version, or other update to the Software ("Update") becomes available. For your convenience and to ensure that the Software on your devices includes new features that we develop, by agreeing to this Agreement you give us permission to install Updates on your devices automatically when available, to the extent that it is possible for us to run such background installations. Any Updates or end-user technical support provided for Free Software that may be provided are provided at our sole discretion and may be discontinued at any time.

    From time to time, at our sole discretion, we may elect to discontinue certain Software or particular features of the Software. "End of Support" refers to the date when we no longer provide automatic fixes, updates or technical assistance for particular Software. If a renewal term for your subscription would expire past the End of Support, you may not be eligible to renew your subscription, except as otherwise provided by Section 5 of this Agreement.

  9. Terms That Apply to Services, Specific Offers, Products or Features

    Services: This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions that govern any subscriptions (free or paid), licenses or services acquired by you from us. In addition to this Agreement, services that you purchase or receive from us bundled in a product are subject to and governed by Terms of Service published by us which are applicable to the services set forth at: https://home.mcafee.com/SupportPages/PoliciesAndAgreement.aspx.

    Free, Trial, Evaluation, Pre-Release and Beta Products: If the Software that you download or otherwise receive is Free Software, then this section of the Agreement shall also apply. To the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or condition in this Agreement, this section shall supersede such other term(s) and condition(s) with respect to such Free Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict. All Free Software is provided as is, without any warranty, indemnity, maintenance or support, express or implied, subject to any statutory rights that cannot be excluded or limited by law. You acknowledge that Free Software may contain bugs, errors and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss. You acknowledge that we have not promised or guaranteed to you that Free Software will be announced or made available to anyone in the future, that we have no express or implied obligation to you to announce or introduce Free Software, and that we are not obligated to introduce a product similar to or compatible with Free Software or any updates to any Free Software. Accordingly, you acknowledge that any use of the Free Software is entirely at your own risk.

    Virus Removal Services: Your annual subscription includes one session of Virus Removal Service whereby we or one of our partners access your device to attempt removal of malware or perform other specified services per paid registered license per year. Additional terms apply. Virus Removal Services are not included with monthly subscriptions and are not available for Macs, Android, or iOS devices. Virus Removal Services are subject to language limitations in certain geographical locations as set forth at the product description page. Please refer to the documentation that accompanied your subscription for details and the Support Terms of Service.

    Passwords and Identity Management: You are responsible for the security of your password and for keeping your account secure. You should keep your password and/or encryption key for your account secure because without them you may lose access to your data. You are solely responsible and liable for any activity that occurs under your account, including by anyone who uses your account. If there is any unauthorized use or access to your account, you must let us know immediately. We are not responsible for any loss caused by unauthorized use of or access to your account; however, you may be liable for any losses we or others suffer because of the unauthorized use. WE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO MASTER PASSWORDS AND CANNOT RECOVER YOUR ENCRYPTED DATA IF YOU FORGET THE MASTER PASSWORD FOR ANY PASSWORD MANAGEMENT FEATURE OR PRODUCT. We offer both free and premium versions of our password and identity management Software, and the free versions limit the maximum number of unique accounts (such as a website or application login) that you can store. If you have downloaded a premium version of the Software at no cost during a promotion, then when the promotional period ends you will not be permitted to add any new unique accounts if you have exceeded the maximum number permitted by the free version. IN ADDITION, IF YOU ORIGINALLY DOWNLOADED SOFTWARE OR SERVICES FROM PASSWORDBOX UNDER ITS FREE-FOR-LIFE MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM OR A SIMILAR "LIFETIME" PROMOTION OR OFFER, THOSE PROMOTIONS OR OFFERS DO NOT APPLY AND ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE TO THE SOFTWARE. If you download any Intel Security password or identity management Software, that download will be subject to all subscription fees that are published in connection with that download, as well as the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

    SiteAdvisor & WebAdvisor: SiteAdvisor and WebAdvisor are software programs (with corresponding websites) that provide users with an opinion to guide users about certain risks that may be associated with a website. The software displays color-coded symbols next to links provided by major search engines, and the corresponding websites have dossier pages to provide information on the factors that affect site ratings. The ratings are primarily derived using automated methods; the software cannot detect or examine every possible aspect of website design, nor can it determine the intent of the site owner. McAfee does not control or assume responsibility for the content of the third-party sites, and some of the third-party sites may have content that you find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. THE SITE RATINGS ARE NOT A GUARANTEE OF ANY PARTICULAR SITE’S SPECIFIC PRACTICES OR TRUSTWORTHINESS, AND IN NO CASE DO THE RATINGS REPRESENT AN ENDORSEMENT BY MCAFEE OF THE SITE’S CONTENT, GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER, OVERALL QUALITY, OR USEFULNESS.

  10. Confidentiality

    Each Party hereto acknowledges that by reason of its relationship with the other party hereunder, it may have access to confidential information and materials concerning the other party’s business, technology, and/or products that is confidential and of substantial value to the other Party, which value could be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties ("Confidential Information"). Written or other tangible Confidential Information must at the time of disclosure be identified and labeled as Confidential Information belonging to the disclosing Party. When disclosed orally or visually, Confidential Information must be identified as confidential at the time of the disclosure, with subsequent confirmation in writing within fifteen (15) days after disclosure. Each Party agrees that it will not use in any way for its own account or the account of any third party, such Confidential Information, except as authorized under this Agreement, and will protect Confidential Information at least to the same extent as it protects its own Confidential Information and to the same extent that a reasonable person would protect such Confidential Information. Neither Party may use the other Party’s Confidential Information except to perform its duties under this Agreement. The Confidential Information restrictions will not apply to Confidential Information that is (i) already known to the receiving Party, (ii) becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of the receiving Party, (iii) independently developed by the receiving Party without benefit of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, (iv) has been rightfully received from a third party not under obligation of confidentiality or (v) is required to be disclosed by law, provided the Party compelled to disclose the Confidential Information provides the Party owning the Confidential Information with prior written notice of disclosure adequate for the owning Party to take reasonable action to prevent such disclosure, where reasonably possible. Unless otherwise agreed to by both Parties, upon termination of this Agreement or an applicable Addendum, each Party will return the other Party’s Confidential Information.

  11. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

    Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes: Any claim, dispute or controversy ("Claim") by either you or us against the other arising from, relating to or in any way concerning the Agreement, the Software, or any equipment, products, or services you receive from us (or from any advertising for any such products or services) shall, at the demand of either party, be resolved by confidential binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate also includes claims relating to the enforceability or interpretation of any of these arbitration provisions. However, we will not demand arbitration pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any individual claim that you properly file and pursue in a small-claims court of your state or municipality, so long as the claim is pending only in that court and the claim is on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

    This agreement to arbitrate includes all controversies and claims of any kind, regardless of the type of claim or legal theory or remedy (damages, injunctive relief, or declaratory relief). The disputes subject to this arbitration agreement include not only claims by you, but also made on your behalf or connected with you, such as an employee, representative, agent, predecessor, successor, heir, assignee, or trustee in bankruptcy. Disputes subject to this arbitration agreement include not only claims that relate directly to us, but also to our parent, affiliates, successors, assignees, employees, and agents. This agreement to arbitrate includes claims asserted as part of a class action, private attorney general or other representative action, it being expressly understood and agreed to that the arbitration of such claims must proceed on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis and the arbitrator may award relief only on an individual (non-class and non-representative) basis. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT NO CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS MAY BE PURSUED IN ARBITRATION, NOR MAY SUCH ACTION BE PURSUED IN COURT. IF EITHER YOU OR WE ELECT ARBITRATION, BY ACCEPTING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION IN ANY MATTER ENCOMPASSED BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION.

    Notice of Dispute: If either of us intends to seek arbitration, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least 30 days in advance of initiating arbitration. Notice should be sent to McAfee, LLC 5000 Headquarters Drive, Plano, TX 75024, Attention: Legal Department. The notice must include your name, address, and contact information, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. The parties will attempt to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within 60 days from the date of the Notice of Dispute is sent. After 60 days, either party may commence arbitration.</p> <p><strong>Administration of Arbitration:</strong> If the dispute is not resolved by informal negotiation or in small claims court, any claim, dispute, or controversy will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and not state law. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Instead, all disputes will be resolved on an individual basis before a single, neutral arbitrator and the proceeding shall be confidential. The arbitrator will be either a lawyer admitted to practice law in his or her jurisdiction and with at least ten years’ experience or a retired or former judge selected in accordance with the rules of the AAA. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement, and the arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the AAA, as modified by this Agreement (the "Arbitration Rules"). For more information, see adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879.</p> <p>Except with respect to any claims or counterclaims seeking less than $25,000, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned, written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English, and the United States FAA shall apply to the Agreement and the binding arbitration. The award shall be confidential and only disclosed as is necessary to obtain judgment or as otherwise required by law.</p> <p>Where authorized by applicable law, the arbitrator’s award may include attorneys’ fees and other expenses. The arbitration award shall determine the rights and obligations between the named parties only, and only in respect of the claims in arbitration, and shall not have any bearing on the rights and obligations of any other dispute.</p> <p><strong>Costs:</strong> The party initiating the arbitration shall pay the initial filing fee. Each party shall bear the expense of their respective attorneys, experts, and witnesses and other expenses, regardless of who prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines.</p> <p><strong>Right to Resort to Provisional Remedies Preserved:</strong> Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or constrain our right to resort to self-help remedies or to comply with legal process, or to obtain provisional remedies such as injunctive relief, attachment, or garnishment by a court having appropriate jurisdiction; provided, however, that you or we may elect to arbitrate any dispute related to such provisional remedies.</p> <p><strong>Conflicting Terms:</strong> In the event of a conflict between the Arbitration Rules and this arbitration agreement, this arbitration agreement shall govern.</P> <p>If any portion of this arbitration agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall not invalidate the other provisions of the arbitration agreement; provided, however, that (a) if the prohibition on classwide arbitration is deemed invalid, then this entire arbitration agreement shall be null and void; and (b) if the prohibition on arbitration of representative claims brought in a private attorney general capacity is deemed invalid, then the arbitration agreement shall be null and void as to such claims only. This arbitration agreement shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between this arbitration agreement and any other applicable arbitration provision, this arbitration agreement shall control.</p> <p><strong>WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE THAT IN ANY WAY RELATES TO OR ARISES OUT OF THE AGREEMENT OR FROM ANY EQUIPMENT, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES YOU RECEIVE FROM US (OR FROM ANY ADVERTISING FOR ANY SUCH PRODUCTS OR SERVICES). IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.</strong></p> </li> <li><p><strong>Law Covering This Agreement</strong> – Except as provided in Section 22 below, this Agreement, the use of the Software, the relationship of the parties, and any disputes arising out of, concerning, or relating to the Agreement, including any disputes between you and us, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, excluding its conflict of law principles, except that the FAA governs all provisions relating to arbitration. If for any reason, the laws of the State of Texas are found not to apply, then, except as provided in Section 22 below, this Agreement, the use of the Software, the relationship of the parties, and any disputes arising out of, concerning, or relating to the Agreement, including any disputes between you and us, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of law principles, except that the FAA governs all provisions relating to arbitration.
