IN THE CASE OF A JURISDICTION THAT RESTRICTS LIMITATION CLAUSES, THIS LIMITATION WILL BE APPLIED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE THAT MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY TERMINATED.
15. Arbitration.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
a. Consultation. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating in any way to this Agreement, the Developers Services, or any other dispute between you and Commure, you and Commure agree to consult and negotiate with each other to try to reach a solution satisfactory to both parties. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, you and Commure agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Both you and Commure agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent that must be satisfied prior to initiating any arbitration or filing any claim against the other party.
b. Binding Arbitration. If you and Commure do not reach a resolution within 60 days, then any unresolved controversy or claim (except as provided under Section 15(c) below) will be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association before a single arbitrator in Mountain View, California. You and Commure agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Santa Clara County, California, United States, in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The language of all proceedings and filings will be English. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of this Agreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction, and will not be subject to appeal. The expenses of the arbitration will be shared equally by the parties unless the arbitration determines that the expenses will be otherwise assessed and the prevailing party may be awarded its attorneys’ fees and expenses by the arbitrator. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within 90 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit only if failure to do so would unduly prejudice the rights of the parties. Failure to adhere to this time limit will not constitute a basis for challenging the award. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, pre-hearing information exchange will be limited to the reasonable production of relevant, non-privileged documents, carried out expeditiously. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND COMMURE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
c. Exclusions. You and Commure are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief from the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. Accordingly, either you or Commure party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court with jurisdiction or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect yours and our intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in small claims court in Mountain View, Santa Clara County, California for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
d. Class Action Waiver. You and Commure agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND COMMURE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Commure agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
16. Precedence. Your use of the Developer Services may be subject to a separate agreement between you and Commure. If any of the terms of such separate agreement conflict with any of the terms of this Agreement, the terms of such separate agreement will govern to the extent of such conflict, if so indicated in such separate agreement.
17. Governing Law; Jurisdictions; Disputes; Waiver of Jury Trial. The interpretation of this Agreement and the resolution of any disputes arising under this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contract for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly disclaimed. If any action or other proceeding is brought on or in connection with this Agreement, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the City of Mountain View and County of Santa Clara in the State of California, and agree not to bring any action relating to the use of the Developer Services or this Agreement in any court in any jurisdiction other than the state or federal courts located in the county of Santa Clara, State of California. Commure shall have the right to commence and prosecute any legal or equitable action or proceeding before any US or non-US court of competent jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement or to protect Commure’s or any third party’s rights in the Developer Services. You also agree that Commure may bring suit in court to enjoin any violation of this Agreement without the posting of a bond or security, in addition to whatever remedies Commure might have at law. In any dispute between you and Commure where Commure prevail, Commure shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, disbursements and other legal expenses. You hereby waive any right to a jury trial.
18. Waiver and Severability. Failure to enforce any provision in this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that provision. If any provision is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in effect.
19. Compliance with Law. As a condition of your use of the Developer Services, you warrant to Commure that you will not use the Developer Services for any purpose that is unlawful, offensive, interferes with the Developer Services or any feature therein, infringes anyone’s rights or prohibited by this Agreement. You agree to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws regarding your use of the Developer Services. You acknowledge that your unauthorized use of the Developer Services may violate copyright laws and trademark laws, as well as other regulations and statutes. If you reside outside the United States, you also agree to comply with any local laws applicable to your use of the Developer Services.

Additionally, you agree to comply with the import and export control laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions in using the Developer Services. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree (i) not to – directly or indirectly – sell, export, reexport, transfer, divert, or otherwise dispose of any service received from Commure in contradiction with laws and regulations or (ii) that the Developer Services and any Commure Confidential Information may not be exported or re-exported into any US embargoed countries or to anyone on the SDN List or SSI List. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the suspension or termination of your Account.
