Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and minimize the costs of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a "Dispute"), you and we ("the Parties") agree to first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions on informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) Disputes seeking to enforce or protect any intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) Disputes related to allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, any Dispute falling within the invalid portion will be resolved by a court of competent jurisdiction, and the Parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of that court.
