Arbitration & Waiver Of Class Actions
Except as prohibited by law, You agree that any claim, controversy or legal dispute arising out of or relating to the Software and Service (hereinafter, a “Dispute”) will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS. This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted and includes claims, controversies or disputes arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between Us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, all of which shall be considered within the agreement’s definition of “Dispute.”

YOU AND E-SHARE UNDERSTAND THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPLICITLY SET FORTH TO THE CONTRARY HEREIN, WE AND YOU ARE RESPECTIVELY WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO DISPUTES. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). Any Notice to Us should be addressed to: e-Share, Office for Dispute Resolution, 40 Court St, 8th Floor, Boston, MA 02108 (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If We and You do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by You or Us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which You or We are entitled. After We receive notice at the Notice Address that You have commenced arbitration, We will reimburse You for Your payment of the filing fee, unless Your claim is for greater than $1,000 (as described further below). The arbitration will be conducted under and governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (collectively, “AAA Rules”), except as specified in or modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org, by calling the American Arbitration Association at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except those issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for the court to decide (as described further in section (a)(iv) below). The rules promulgated by the American Arbitration Association concerning class arbitration shall not apply. For any non-frivolous claim that does not exceed $1,000, We will pay the JAMS filing fee for an arbitration initiated in accordance with this arbitration agreement. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then there will be no payment or reimbursement of the filing fee. In such case, You agree to reimburse Us for any monies previously disbursed that are otherwise Your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. In addition, if You initiate an arbitration in which You seek more than $1,000 in damages, the payment of these fees will be governed by the AAA rules.

WAIVER OF CLASS-WIDE PROCEEDINGS: You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, You and We are each waiving the right to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Each party to this agreement agrees and covenants that it will not initiate any class-wide proceedings, including class actions or class arbitrations, against another party, and will not act as a class representative or class member. This provision constitutes an agreement that any Dispute will be resolved exclusively on a bilateral basis between the parties, with each party acting in his/her/its individual capacity. Further, unless both parties 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. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If for any reason the prohibition on class arbitration in this subsection (a)(v) is not or cannot be enforced, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. Massachusetts state law and procedures concerning arbitration shall apply to this Agreement only to the extent that they do not conflict with and are not inconsistent with the FAA. This arbitration agreement shall survive termination of Your use of the Software and Service. Unless both parties agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of Your billing address. Subject to the terms of this arbitration agreement, all Disputes shall be decided by a single arbitrator, who shall be either: (1) a retired federal judge; (2) a retired state court judge who sat on a trial court or appellate court for at least five (5) years; or (3) an attorney admitted to practice in the state in which the Dispute will be resolved for at least twenty-five (25) years with no disciplinary history. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the notice initiating the arbitration. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, then the complaining party shall notify JAMS and request selection of an arbitrator in accordance with the applicable AAA Rules. The arbitrator shall have only such authority to award equitable relief, damages, costs, and fees as a court would have for the particular claim(s) asserted. This arbitration agreement is not intended to modify or limit the remedies available to either party, including the right to seek interim relief, such as injunction or attachment, through judicial process, which will not be deemed a waiver of the right to demand and obtain arbitration.

Non-GA Software and Service
From time to time, e-Share may invite You to try, at no charge, Our products or Software and Service that are not generally available to Our customers (“Non-GA Software and Service”). You may accept or decline any such trial in Your sole discretion. Any Non-GA Software and Service will be clearly designated as beta, pilot, limited release, developer preview, non-production or by a description of similar import. Non-GA Software and Service are provided for evaluation purposes and not for production use, are not supported, may contain bugs or errors, and may be subject to additional terms.

In the event of such claim, We will provide notice of the claim, suit or action to the contact information We have for the account, provided that any failure to deliver such notice to You shall not eliminate or reduce Your indemnification obligation hereunder.

Termination
You may discontinue Your use of the Software and Service at any time, for any or no reason and with or without notice. We also reserve the right to suspend or end the Software and Service at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. For example, We may suspend or terminate Your use if You are not complying with these Terms, or use the Software and Service in any way that would cause us legal liability or disrupt others’ use of the Software and Service. If We suspend or terminate Your use, We will try to let You know in advance and help You retrieve data, though there may be some cases (for example, repeatedly or flagrantly violating these Terms, a court order, or danger to other users) where We may suspend immediately. These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between You and e-Share and governs Your use of the Software and Service, except, and then only to the extent that You have entered into a separate Agreement. These Terms of Service, as in effect from time to time, supersedes any prior agreements or earlier versions of these Terms of Service between You and e-Share for the use of the Software and Service. If, through accessing or using the Software and Service, You utilize or obtain any product or service from a third party, You may additionally be subject to such third party’s terms and conditions applicable thereto, and these Terms of Service shall not affect Your legal relationship with such third party. These Terms of Service and the relationship between You and e-Share shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You are also responsible for complying with all local laws, rules and regulations.
