- Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver If You Live In (or If a Business Your Principal Place of Business Is In) the United States. If you live in (or, if you are a business, your principal place of business is in) the United States, you agree to the following dispute resolution terms for claims arising under or in connection with this Agreement.
-
- Generally: In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Wispi in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Wispi agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal 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. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to 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 the claims arise during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND WISPI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
-
- Exceptions: Notwithstanding subsection 21.1, we both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (a) bring an individual action in small claims court, (b) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (c) seek injunctive relief or other provisional relief in aid of arbitration from a court of law, or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
-
- Arbitrator: Any arbitration between you and Wispi will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Wispi.
-
- Notice; Process: A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Wispi’s address for Notice is: AIA Central, 1 Connaught Rd Central, Central, Hong Kong. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Wispi may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Wispi shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. In the event our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Wispi shall pay you (a) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any, (b) the last written settlement amount offered by Wispi in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (c) $1,000.00, whichever is greater.
-
- Fees: In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with this Agreement, Wispi will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Santa Clara County, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Wispi for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
-
- No Class Actions: YOU AND WISPI 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 Wispi 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.
-
- Modifications: In the event that Wispi makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Wispi’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Wispi’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Wispi shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject shall survive.
-
- Enforceability: If Subsection 21.3 is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 21 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 21 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 22.3 shall govern any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.

- Entire Agreement; Severability; Waiver; Assignment:This Agreement, together with the Privacy Policy, any Additional Terms, and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into this Agreement, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Wispi regarding your use of the Service. Except as expressly permitted above, this Agreement may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to this Agreement. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or your rights under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign this Agreement at any time without notice or consent. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any other time after that, nor will a waiver by us of any breach or default of this Agreement, or any provision of this Agreement, be a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in this Agreement is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision. If any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible, and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect. Upon termination of this Agreement, any provision that by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive, including Sections 1, and 4 through 22.
-
- Governing law; Dispute Resolution: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hong Kong. Except to the extent that: (i) any applicable additional terms incorporated into this Agreement provide differently, or (ii) the applicable laws and regulations of your jurisdiction mandate otherwise (for instance, you may have statutory rights in your jurisdiction in relation to bringing or defending claims in a local court (including small claims court, or similar court)), any dispute, controversy or claim (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement, including their existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre under the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre Administered Arbitration rules in force when the Notice of Arbitration is submitted. The seat of the arbitration will be Hong Kong. There will be one arbitrator only. The arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English.
