ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS

WHEN YOU AGREE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU AGREE TO A DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY THAT INCLUDES (1) A REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR CONTROVERSY, INCLUDING ALL STATUTORY CLAIMS AND ANY STATE OR FEDERAL CLAIMS, THAT MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, OUR PRIVACY POLICY OR YOUR USE OF THE SITES OR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITES; AND (2) A WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CLAIM. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION, TRIAL BY JURY, OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, IN ORDER TO SETTLE YOUR DISPUTE.

You and TINGME agree that in the event of any dispute between us, each party will, in the first instance, notify the other party of the intent to initiate a formal proceeding in writing (the “Notice”). The parties shall attempt to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or relating to, any provision of the agreement or the breach thereof by good faith negotiations between the parties and shall not initiate a formal proceeding for at least thirty (30) days from the date of the other party’s receipt of the notice.

ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE ARBITRATOR IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY JAMS PURSUANT TO ITS COMPREHENSIVE ARBITRATION RULES AND PROCEDURES AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EXPEDITED PROCEDURES IN THOSE RULES.

In any arbitration arising out of or related to this agreement, there shall be no interrogatories or requests to admit. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference rather than by personal appearances unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such a determination should be made by the arbitrator.

The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be enforced by any state or federal court that has jurisdiction; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall not have authority to make errors of law and any arbitration award may be challenged if the arbitrator does so. The arbitrator shall give a written statement of the disposition of each claim, and the award, including any award of costs, expenses, or interest, shall provide a concise written statement of the essential findings and conclusions upon which it is based.

The prevailing party, as determined by the arbitrator, shall be entitled to collect its reasonable costs, expenses, and interest (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arbitration fees, and other such costs). Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not prevent parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

IN ANY ARBITRATION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ARBITRATOR(S) ARE NOT EMPOWERED TO AWARD PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, EXCEPT WHERE PERMITTED BY STATUTE, AND THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER ANY SUCH DAMAGES. THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT AWARD ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS.

The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and any award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits or except as may be necessary for connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

YOU AND TINGME 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 TINGME AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS WITH YOUR CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

If a court refuses to enforce the waiver of class-wide arbitration, this entire arbitration provision shall be unenforceable, and any claims brought on behalf of a putative class will proceed in court.

IF FOR ANY REASON, A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN ARBITRATION, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
