Support is available via the Company App to address any concerns you may have regarding your provision of Company Services and/or this Agreement. The parties shall use their best efforts through this support process to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement and engage in good faith negotiations which shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

Binding Arbitration

If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of 30 days from the time informal dispute resolution under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision is initiated, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to Company Services, this Agreement, and the parties' relationship with each other shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration administered by ADR Institute of Canada, or alternatively a mutually agreed upon arbitrator or arbitration service, under the applicable commercial arbitration rules for ADR Institute of Canada or the mutually agreed upon arbitration service, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting className actions. The language of the arbitration shall be English.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, provincial or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Company will pay the additional cost. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Company will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed CAD $35,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney's fees in certain cases. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory
provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Location

The arbitration will take place in the province in which you provided the majority of Company Services at issue in the arbitration.

className or Collective Action Waiver

The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a className action or other collective action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a className action or seek relief on a className or collective basis. YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR className MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED className OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

Litigation of Intellectual Property

Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in provincial or federal court to protect its Intellectual Property Rights, including patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights.

Changes to this Section

Company will provide prior written notice of any material changes to this section. Changes will become effective only after prior written notice and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the notice period.
For any dispute not subject to arbitration you and Company agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and provincial courts located in British Columbia, Canada. You hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.

General
