(a) This Agreement is governed by Florida law, excluding its conflicts of law rules.

(b) Arbitration and Dispute Resolution.

(i) The Parties hereby agree that, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.2(b), any and all claims, causes of action, and/or disputes under, arising out of, or relating to this Agreement (each, a “Claim”) shall be settled by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (as modified by, and subject to, this Agreement); provided, however, that: (A) Claims arising out of or relating to violations of Publisher’s or Insticator’s intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to, copyright infringement, patent infringement, trademark infringement, or efforts to interfere with the IES/OES Service in unauthorized ways (including, without limitation, breaches any of the provisions of Section 2.2 above) (each, an “IP Claim”) shall not be subject to such obligation for settlement by final and binding arbitration; and (B) either Party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction (each, a “Small Claim”) in lieu of arbitration.  The arbitrator’s decision and award shall be non-appealable and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction.  The arbitration shall take place in Miami-Dade County and State of Florida, unless the Parties agree to video, phone and/or internet connection appearances.  The Parties further agree that: (x) BY ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION THE PARTIES ARE WAIVING THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURI OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION; AND (y) EACH PARTY MAY BRING A CLAIM(S) (AS DEFINED ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 12.2(b)(i)) AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING.  Arbitration of any Claim(s) shall be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”; such rules, “AAA Rules”), and shall be administered by the AAA. If the AAA is unavailable, the Parties shall agree to another arbitration provider.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any evidentiary submission(s) made in arbitration shall be maintained as confidential in the absence of good cause for its disclosure.  Each Party shall be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA Rules.

(ii) If there is a final judicial determination that any particular Claim cannot be arbitrated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.2(b), then only that particular Claim (each, a “Non-Arbitrable Claim”), any IP Claim(s), and any Small Claim(s) may be brought in court; all Claims other than Non-Arbitrable Claims, IP Claims not sought to be arbitrated, and Small Claims not sought to be arbitrated remain subject to the provisions of Section 12.2(b)(i) above. THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE FOR ALL NON-ARBITRABLE CLAIMS AND FOR ALL IP CLAIMS NOT SOUGHT TO BE ARBITRATED SHALL BE THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY AND STATE OF FLORIDA, AND THE JURISDISCTION AND VENUE FOR ALL SMALL CLAIMS NOT SOUGHT TO BE ARBITRATED SHALL BE THE SMALL CLAIMS COURTS IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY AND STATE OF FLORIDA; WITH RESPECT TO NON-ARBITRABLE CLAIMS, SUCH IP CLAIMS, AND SUCH SMALL CLAIMS, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENTS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THOSE COURTS AND HEREBY WAIVES ALL DEFENSES OF LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND FORUM NON CONVENIENS. Nothing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, in the preceding sentence or in Section 12.2(b)(i) above) shall limit either Party’s ability to seek equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(iii) The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration provisions of this Agreement. All issues are for an arbitrator to decide, except that only a court may decide issues relating to the scope or enforceability of the arbitration provisions of this Agreement or the interpretation of the prohibition of class and representative actions.  If any of these dispute resolution provisions is found unenforceable, that provision shall be severed, and the balance of the dispute resolution provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

12.3. Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer any part of this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that this Agreement may be assigned, without the other Party’s written consent, (a) by either Party to a person or entity that acquires, by sale, merger or otherwise, all or substantially all of such assigning Party’s assets, stock, or business, and (b) by Insticator to an Affiliate of Insticator.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties, their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 12.3 shall be void and of no effect.

12.4. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their authorized successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to, or shall confer upon, any other person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. Each Party may use Subcontractors in connection with its performance under this Agreement; provided that such Party is liable for the acts and omissions of its Subcontractors.

12.5. Insticator may modify this Agreement from time to time.  Please review this Agreement (and the information and policies for which links are provided or referenced in this Agreement) periodically to become aware of any changes that may have occurred; Insticator shall update the Effective Date at the top of the page to help Publisher know when changes to this Agreement have been made.  Except where prohibited by applicable law, rule, or regulation, changes to this Agreement may be made without notice to Publisher.  Publisher’s use of any Service(s) after any changes to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute Publisher’s approval and acceptance of such changes.  Except as set forth in this Section 12.5, all amendments to this Agreement must be in writing, executed by Insticator, and expressly state that they are amending this Agreement.

This Agreement is the Parties’ entire agreement relating to its subject and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements on that subject. Failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, the rights and remedies of the Parties provided under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies of the Parties at law or equity.  If any provision of this Agreement is found unenforceable, it and any related provisions shall be interpreted to best accomplish the unenforceable provision’s essential purpose. The term “including” (and its corollaries) means “including, but not limited to,” and is meant to be inclusive, not exclusive. No presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
