DISPUTE RESOLUTIONS.

You agree that any dispute between you and ARC arising out of or relating to this License, the ARC Product Software, the Services or any other ARC products, devices or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.

Informal Dispute Resolution:  We want to address your concerns without the need of a formal legal case.  Before filing a claim against ARC, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting [email protected].  We will try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you. If a dispute is not resolved within 30 days after submission, you or ARC may bring a formal proceeding.

We Both Agree To Arbitrate:  You and ARC agree to resolve any Disputes through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate below.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate:  You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting [email protected] within 30 days of first accepting these Terms and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.

Arbitration Procedures:  The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.  The arbitration will be held in Williamson County, Texas or any other location we agree to.

Arbitration Fees:  The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate:  Either you or ARC may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Williamson County, Texas.  Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of this License, the ARC Product Software, the Services or any other ARC products, devices or services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions:  You may only resolve Disputes with ARC on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.  Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under our agreement and this License.

Judicial Forum for Disputes:  In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or any Dispute, you and ARC agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the federal or state courts of Williamson County, Texas.  Both you and ARC consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.

Limitation on Claims:  Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim, Dispute or cause of action arising out of or related to your purchase and use of the License, the ARC Product Software, the Services or ARC devices or services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim, Dispute or cause of action arose, or else that claim, Dispute or cause of action will be barred forever.
