SECTION 9
9 DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
9.1 Dispute Resolution. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and to the customer’s satisfaction by contacting our Customer Service at contact@montessorii.com. It is the intention of the Parties to use their respective and collective Reasonable Efforts to resolve expeditiously and on a mutually acceptable negotiated basis any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under, out of or relating to this Agreement that may arise from time to time. Any dispute between the Parties related to this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 9 (Dispute Resolution), which shall be the exclusive remedy for any dispute hereunder; provided, however, that if the dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of a Party, either Party may elect to take the dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section 10 (Mandatory Arbitration). Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the nature or scope of remedies available to the arbitrator in connection with the resolution of a dispute.
SECTION 10
10 MANDATORY ARBITRATION. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement, including any dispute not resolved as outlined in Section 9 (Dispute Resolution), any claims that arose prior to this Agreement, and any claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement, shall be exclusively referred to and finally determined by binding arbitration in Hong Kong under the auspices of the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (“HKIAC”). The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language before an arbitrator agreed upon by the Parties. If the Parties do not agree upon an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the HKIAC Rules. During such arbitration, any controversy of claim arising out of or relating to the construction or applications of any term, provision, or condition of this Agreement shall comply with and be governed in accordance with the laws of the state of California.
10.1 The Party that intends to seek arbitration must first send Notice to the other Party pursuant to Section 13.8 (Notices).
10.2 The Parties understand and acknowledge that such arbitration will go beyond the resolution of issues of law in the strict sense but also relate to the future conduct of either or both Parties, including without limitation disputes that relate to and will affect the future rights and duties of the Parties.
10.3 This agreement to arbitrate shall be the primary remedy for the resolution of all disputes under this Agreement and shall be specifically enforceable. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitration may be entered by any court having jurisdiction. Any controversy concerning whether a dispute is an arbitrable dispute shall be determined by the arbitrator.
10.4 The Parties intend that this agreement to arbitrate be valid, specifically enforceable, and irrevocable. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and shall not be subject to judicial review.
10.5 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 9 (Dispute Resolution) or Section 10 (Mandatory Arbitration), each Party may request a court of competent jurisdiction to grant provisional injunctive relief solely for the purpose of maintaining the status quo until the arbitrator can render an award on the matter in question or until a court can rule on the matter in question. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any delays in seeking preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, as a result of following the procedures of Section 9 (Dispute Resolution) or otherwise seeking in good faith to amicably resolve any disputes, shall not be a basis for denial of such relief. It is understood and agreed that Montessori Interactive may seek injunctive relief in matters involving use of Montessori Interactive’s Intellectual Property Rights and in matters involving the disclosure of Montessori Interactive’s Confidential Information. It is further understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 10 (Mandatory Arbitration) shall in any way limit Montessori Interactive’s rights to terminate this Agreement under the terms of this Agreement.
10.6 The arbitrator shall have continuing jurisdiction to implement their decision. Each Party shall initially be responsible for its own costs and attorney’s fees, and shall share the expenses of the arbitration equally; provided, however, that in the event the losing Party has been found to have engaged in bad faith in its dealings with the prevailing Party, the arbitrator shall award all expenses of the arbitration, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing Party. Expeditious adjudication of the dispute is important to the Parties. Unless otherwise provided by the Arbitration Rules of the HKIAC, established by the arbitrator, or agreed to by the Parties, the Parties shall have sixty (60) days from the appointment of the arbitrator to present and/or submit their positions to the arbitrator, and the Parties shall have a hearing before the arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the last submission. The arbitrator shall hear evidence by each Party and resolve each of the issues identified by the Parties. The Parties shall use all Reasonable Efforts to make witnesses available for the proceedings. The arbitrator shall be instructed and required to render a written, binding, non-appealable resolution and award on each issue which clearly states the basis upon which such resolution and award is made (and which may include injunctive relief, enforceable in a court of law with competent jurisdiction). The written resolution and award shall be delivered to the Parties as expeditiously as possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after conclusion of the hearing, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties. No information concerning an arbitration, beyond the names of the Parties and the relief requested, may be unilaterally disclosed to a third party by either Party unless required to do so by law or by a competent regulatory body, provided that the arbitrator is furnished with details of the disclosure and an explanation of the reasons for it.
10.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. IF THIS SECTION 10 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION) WERE NOT IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES WOULD EACH HAVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR BY A JUDGE IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES. THE PARTIES ARE EACH GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR COURT TRIAL IN ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE PARTIES BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. YOU SPECIFICALLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE RIGHT TO HAVE SUCH DISPUTES DECIDED BY A JUDGE OR A JURY IS HEREBY WAIVED. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAD A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH INDEPENDENT COUNSEL BEFORE ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
10.8 Individual Claims Only. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that Party’s individual claim. YOU AND MONTESSORI INTERACTIVE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES AND NOT AS PLAINTIFFS OR CLASS MEMBERS IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR IN THE CAPACITY OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. Further, unless both you and Montessori Interactive agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one Person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award that is individualized to the claimant and would not affect other customers. Neither you nor Montessori Interactive may seek non-individualized relief that would affect other customers and/or Users. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.
SECTION 11
11 COURT ACTION. In the event that either Party does not act in accordance with Section 9 (Dispute Resolution) or Section 10 (Mandatory Arbitration) of this Agreement, then the other Party may seek any and all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce the provisions of Section 9 (Dispute Resolution) or Section 10 (Mandatory Arbitration) by pursuing such breach in a court of competent jurisdiction.
11.1 It is understood and agreed that all court costs (e.g., filing fees, but not attorneys’ fees) of the prevailing Party related to a court action brought pursuant to this Section 11 (Court Action), and finally disposed of by such court, shall be borne by the losing Party, whether or not such court enters an order relating to such court costs.
SECTION 12
12 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, YOU WILL HOLD MONTESSORI INTERACTIVE AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS HARMLESS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE OR LEGAL THEORY FOR DAMAGES RELATED TO INCONVENIENCE, DOWNTIME, INTEREST, COST OF CAPITAL, FRUSTRATION OF ECONOMIC OR BUSINESS EXPECTATIONS, LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, TIME, DATA, OR GOODWILL, OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE, HOWEVER IT ARISES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND ALL RELATED COSTS AND EXPENSES OF LITIGATION AND ARBITRATION, OR AT TRIAL OR ON APPEAL, IF ANY, WHETHER OR NOT LITIGATION OR ARBITRATION IS INSTITUTED), WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY CLAIM FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY VIOLATION BY YOU OF ANY INTERNATIONAL, NATIONAL, OR LOCAL LAWS, RULES, STATUTES, ORDINANCES, OR REGULATIONS, EVEN IF MONTESSORI INTERACTIVE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW, IF THERE IS LIABILITY FOUND ON THE PART OF MONTESSORI INTERACTIVE, IT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES, AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THERE BE CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.
