14. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
Contracts for the purchase of Products through our Website and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or their subject matter or formation(including non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with such Contracts or their formation (including non-contractual disputes or claims) will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
14.1 Generally
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and DNSSense in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and DNSSense 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 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 THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND DNSSense ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASSACTION.
14.2 Exceptions
Notwithstanding Subsection 19.1, we both agree that nothing here in will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right 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.
15. Miscellaneous
This Agreement and the related terms referenced above constitute the entire understanding and agreement between us and you with respect to the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, all of which are merged into this Agreement. Except as provided above, this Agreement may not be modified, amended or in any way altered except by an instrument in writing signed by authorized representatives of both parties. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found invalid or unenforceable pursuant to judicial decree, the remainder of this Agreement will remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. Any failure by DNSSense to strictly enforce any provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of that provision or any subsequent breach of that provision. The disclaimers and limitations of liability will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
16.Force Majeure
In the case of failure to perform this Agreement due to any force majeure, neither party shall be liable for such failure, and this Agreement shall be terminated automatically. In the case of failure to perform any part of this Agreement due to any force majeure, the party suffering from such force majeure may be exempted from corresponding liability to the extent of the impact of such force majeure. However, such party shall continue to perform other obligations under this Agreement which have not been affected by such force majeure. If such force majeure occurs after such party delays to perform this Agreement, it shall not be exempted from its corresponding liabilities.
17. Termination or Suspension of Service
The Parties may terminate this agreement at any time, by giving notice. You may terminate this agreement based on the provisions of the agreement you accepted, by giving notice to DNSsense. Termination will be effective upon your appropriate notice to DNSsense or DNSsense to you.
