  22. Arbitration Agreement; Governing Law:
    1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Open Bracket, Inc. in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Open Bracket, Inc. agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with this Agreement will 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 these Terms or the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Open Bracket, Inc. are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
    2. Exceptions. You and Open Bracket, Inc. agree that nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
    3. Arbitration. Any arbitration between you and Open Bracket, Inc. 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 these Terms, 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 Open Bracket, Inc.
    4. Arbitration Notice; Process. If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to Open Bracket, Inc., by certified mail or FedEx (signature required), a written notice of your claim addressed to: Legal Dept., Open Bracket, Inc. 2035 Sunset Lake Road Suite B-2 Newark, DE 19702, USA. If Open Bracket, Inc. elects to seek arbitration, it will send a written notice to the email address you provided to Open Bracket, Inc. for your account. An arbitration notice, whether sent by you or by Open Bracket, Inc., must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. You and Open Bracket, Inc. each agree to use good faith efforts to directly resolve any claim, but if we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the notice is received, you or Open Bracket, Inc. may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in small claims court. During any arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Open Bracket, Inc. or you must not be disclosed to the arbitrator. You may download or copy a form notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. If our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Open Bracket, Inc. will pay you: (A) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (B) the last written settlement amount offered by Open Bracket, Inc. in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (C) $1,000, whichever is highest.
    5. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Open Bracket, Inc. 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 will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the city of your billing address provided to Open Bracket, Inc. as part of your account registration, or, if no city was provided, in the in AAA office nearest to you, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. 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 Open Bracket, Inc. 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 will 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.
    6. No Class Actions. you and Open Bracket, Inc. 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 Open Bracket, Inc. 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.
    7. Modifications. If Open Bracket, Inc. makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Open Bracket, Inc.'s address for notice), you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of Open Bracket, Inc.’s notice to you of the change, in which case your account with Open Bracket, Inc. will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive.
    8. Enforceability. If only Subsection (f) of this arbitration agreement provision, or the entirety of this arbitration agreement provision, is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration agreement provision will be void and, in that case, you and Open Bracket, Inc. both agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described below will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
    9. Governing Law; Venue. These Terms and any action arising out of these Terms or your use of the Service, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions or your actual state or country of residence.
