9              DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

9.1        Except as otherwise provided below, the parties will attempt to resolve all disputes, controversies, or claims arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement, including the formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, of this Agreement and the arbitrability of the issues submitted to arbitration hereunder and non-contractual claims relating to this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section.

If any Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations between the parties within 15 days of notice from one party to the other of the Dispute, then at the request of either party such Dispute will be finally settled through binding arbitration under the arbitration of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) then in effect (the “Rules”). Either party may commence the arbitration by delivering a request for arbitration as specified in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted before a sole neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator within 30 days (the “Initial Period”) after either party to this Agreement delivers a request for arbitration, a neutral arbitrator will be selected as provided in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted exclusively in the English language at a site specified by Acquisition in Las Vegas, Nevada. The award of the arbitrator will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the arbitrator. The award of the arbitrators will require payment of the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in any such arbitration by the non-prevailing party. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court or governmental body having jurisdiction thereof. Any additional costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the award may be charged against the party that resists its enforcement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Acquisition may seek temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy, in a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a breach or threatened breach of Section 5 (Copyright and Confidentiality Notice). This relief may be sought in addition any damages and other remedies that may be available at law.

9.2       This Agreement and the interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed exclusively by and construed in accordance with the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding conflict of laws provisions that would indicate the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECTION 9.1, EACH PARTY WILL BRING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE OR OTHERWISE ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR ATTENDANCE AT AN EVENT (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY ARBITRATION AWARD), ONLY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, U.S.A. YOU AND ACQUISITION IRREVOCABLY AGREE TO CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS.

You expressly waive any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.

21             FORCE MAJEURE

Acquisition will not be responsible to You for any delay, damage, or failure caused by or occasioned by a Force Majeure Event. As used in this Agreement, “Force Majeure Event” shall mean: any act of God, act of nature or the elements, terrorism, insurrection, revolution or civil strife, piracy, civil war or hostile action, labor strikes, pandemic, epidemic, acts of public enemies, federal or state laws, rules and regulations of any governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the premises, inability to procure material, equipment, or necessary labor in the open market, acute and unusual labor, material, or equipment shortages, or any other causes beyond the control of Acquisition. Delays due to any of the above causes shall not be deemed to be a breach of or failure to perform under this Agreement. Acquisition shall not be required against its will to adjust any labor or other similar dispute except in accordance with applicable law.

22            GENERAL

Words and phrases used in this Agreement have the definition given in this Agreement or, if not defined herein, have their plain English meaning as commonly interpreted in the United States. As used in this Agreement, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to.” Section headings are for reference purposes only. Acquisition’s failure at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing and signed in ink by the party to be bound. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the court will substitute for such provision a valid and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of such provision. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other, or joint ventures, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other. You may not assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement, whether through operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of Acquisition. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Acquisition may freely assign this Agreement. No term of this Agreement will be construed to confer any third-party beneficiary rights on any non-party. Each and every right and remedy hereunder is cumulative with each and every other right and remedy herein or in any other agreement between the parties or under applicable Law. This Agreement may be amended only as set forth herein.

23            NOTICES

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notices required or allowed under this Agreement will be provided to Acquisition by postal mail to the address for Acquisition listed on the Site, or to legal@acquisition.com. Acquisition may provide you with any notices required or allowed under this Agreement by sending you an email to any email address you provide to Acquisition in connection with your purchase of a Registration or attendance at an Event, provided that in the case of any notice applicable both to you and other attendees, Acquisition may instead provide such notice by posting the notice on its website.
