Unless you and the Company otherwise agree in writing, the time for informal resolution will be 60 days from the date on which you or the Company mails a notice of the Dispute (“Notice of Dispute”) as specified in Paragraph(c).

(d) BINDING ARBITRATION. IF YOU LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT IF YOU AND THE COMPANY DO NOT RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BY INFORMAL NEGOTIATION UNDER PARAGRAPH (b) ABOVE, ANY EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE DISPUTE WILL BE CONDUCTED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES IN PARAGRAPH (g) BELOW. YOU UNDERSTAND AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BY OPTING TO USE THE LICENSED WORKS OR THE SITE, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION WHICH FORFEITS ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE TO LITIGATE (OR PARTICIPATE IN AS A PARTY OR CLASS MEMBER) ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. INSTEAD, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, WHOSE AWARD (DECISION) WILL BE BINDING AND FINAL, EXCEPT FOR A LIMITED RIGHT OF APPEAL UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT. ANY COURT WITH JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES MAY ENFORCE THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD.

THE ONLY DISPUTES NOT COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT TO NEGOTIATE INFORMALLY AND ARBITRATE ARE DISPUTES ENFORCING, PROTECTING, OR CONCERNING THE VALIDITY OF ANY OF THE COMPANY’S (OR ANY OF YOUR OR THE COMPANY’S LICENSORS’) INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

Information about the AAA, and how to commence arbitration before it, is available at http://www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. The Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA will govern the arbitration. If you are an individual consumer and use the Licensed Works for personal or household use, or if the value of the Dispute is $75,000 or less, the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes of the AAA will also apply. If the AAA rules or procedures conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will govern. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules and procedures. Where the value of a Dispute is $10,000 or less, any hearing will be via electronic communications unless the arbitrator finds good cause to instead hold an in-person hearing.

(h) Arbitration Location. You agree to commence arbitration only in Collin County, Texas. The Company agrees to commence arbitration only in your county of residence.

(i) Costs & Fees. In any arbitration you commence, the Company reserves its right to seek its expenses associated with the arbitration process. In a Dispute involving more than $75,000, the AAA rules will govern payment of filing and AAA administrative fees and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. You and the Company agree that fees and expenses are not counted in determining how much a Dispute involves.

(j) Enforceability. If the class action waiver (which includes a waiver of private attorney-general actions) in Paragraph (f) is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, whether by judicial, legislative, or other action, then this Section and its subsections will not apply to those parts. Instead, those parts of the Dispute will be severed and proceed in a Texas court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. The definition of “Dispute” in Paragraph (a) will still apply to this Agreement.

(k) Rejection Rights. If the Company makes a material change to this Section (other than an administrative change or revision to the notice address in Paragraph (c)) while you are authorized to use the Licensed Works or the Site, you may seek to reject the change by sending the Company written notice (in English, please) within 30 days of the basis for rejection by email to http://mailto:privacy@gearboxpublishing.com and via U.S. Mail to the address contained in Paragraph (c). You agree that you will informally negotiate and arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the most recent version of this Section prior to the change you rejected and that Company reserves all lawful rights irrespective of such rejection.

(l) Severability. If any provision of this Section and its subsections, other than Paragraph (f) (i.e., class action waiver), is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated only to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

(m) Survival. The provisions of this Section will survive termination of this Agreement and the provision of the Online Services, Licensed Works and the Site.

TAXES AND EXPENSES
