agree that, except as provided in Section 17.4 below, all
disputes, controversies and claims related to this ToU (each a "Claim"),
shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which
may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting
arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party
shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be
conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS
that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the "JAMS
Rules") and under the terms set forth in this ToU. In the
event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section 18
and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section 18 will control and
prevail.
Except as otherwise set forth in Section 18.4, you may seek any
remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an
arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and WorkXimity will have the
opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant
to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the
arbitrator's decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the
arbitrator's findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator's decision
is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration
shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a
court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this
ToU, (a) you and WorkXimity
may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending
arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award
entered by the arbitrator; and (b) the arbitrator's decision shall be
final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction,
provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to
follow applicable law.
- Location.
The arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California, unless the
parties agree to video, phone or internet connection appearances.
- Limitations.
You and WorkXimity agree that
any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between WorkXimity and you individually.
YOU AND WORKXIMITY AGREE THAT
(a) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A
CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (b) THERE IS NO
RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED
REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (c) NO
ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
- Exceptions to Arbitration. You and WorkXimity
agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions
concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Claim seeking to
enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of WorkXimity's intellectual
property rights; (b) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations
of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (c) any
claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party
may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are
within the scope of such court's jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
- Arbitration Fees.
If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS
arbitration initiation fee. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim,
we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All
other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the
JAMS Rules.
- Severability.
You and WorkXimity agree that
if any portion of this Section 18 is found illegal or
unenforceable (except any portion of Section 18.4), that portion
shall be severed and the remainder of the section shall be given full
force and effect. If Section 18.4 is found to be illegal or
unenforceable then neither you nor WorkXimity
will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section
18.4 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be
exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the
County of Los Angeles, California, United States of America, and you and WorkXimity agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
- General.
- ToU Revisions.
This ToU may only be revised in a writing signed by WorkXimity, or published by WorkXimity on the Site.

relationship exists between you and WorkXimity
as a result of this ToU or your use of the Site or the Service.

under this ToU to any person or entity without your consent. The rights
granted to you under this ToU may not be assigned without WorkXimity's prior written
consent, and any attempted unauthorized assignment by you shall be null
and void.
- Severability.
If any part of this ToU is determined to be invalid or unenforceable,
then that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of the ToU shall be
given full force and effect.
