16. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
This Section 15 shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of some or all of the provisions of this Section, such provisions will not apply to you. Hereby you agree to have any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Product (collectively, «Disputes») settled by binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association («AAA») under the Federal Arbitration Act («FAA»), and not to sue in court in front of a judge or jury. The arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA.
Exception. Each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
Class Action Waiver. You agree that combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties, class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity, against Syncmo and any of Syncmo’s subsidiaries, related companies, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns under this Agreement or any prior agreements between us, shall not be allowed.
Arbitration Procedures. If you have a Dispute, you agree to send your claim to Syncmo customer support first and give us 30 days to try and resolve it. If the Dispute is not resolved after 30 days, you may start arbitration. Any Dispute must be filed for arbitration within 1 year from the date when the event giving rise to the Dispute occurred. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. To start arbitration, submit the form available at aka.ms/arbitration to the AAA; mail a copy to Syncmo. In a Dispute involving USD10,000 or less, any hearing will be by telephone unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim.
Right to Opt Out. If you do not wish to be bound by this Arbitration and Class Action Waiver provision, you must notify Syncmo in writing within 30 days of the date of your product order via email to Syncmo customer support or by mail at the address in this Agreement. Your written notification must include your name, address and your Syncmo software order number, and must contain a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve Disputes with Syncmo through arbitration. Your decision to opt out of this arbitration provision will have no adverse effect on your relationship with Syncmo or the delivery of products or services to you by Syncmo. If you do not provide Syncmo with an Opt-out Notice within the 30 day period, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth under Exception in this clause.
Severability. If any part or all of this arbitration provision or class action waiver is found to be unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, the remaining parts of this provision will still apply and the remaining parts of the Dispute will proceed in arbitration.
THIS PROVISION SHALL SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THE END USER LICENCE AGREEMENT.
