9. ARBITRATION

ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU, ON THE ONE HAND, AND HSPEQ, ON THE OTHER HAND, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT HSPEQ AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

With the exception of any of the language above in this Dispute Resolution provision relating to the waiver of class and representative actions, if a court decides that any part of this provision is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this provision shall still apply. If a court decides that any aspect of the language above in this provision relating to the waiver of class and representative actions is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this provision shall be null and void. The remainder of the Agreement will continue to apply and be unaffected by this severability provision.

10. FINAL AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

This Agreement sets forth all of your rights and is the entire Agreement between you and Licensor for the Software and Services. This Agreement supersedes any other communications, representations, or advertising relating to the Software or Services.

Should any term of this Agreement be declared void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall have no effect on the remaining terms hereof.

11. NO WAIVER

The failure of either party to enforce any rights granted hereunder or to take action against the other party in the event of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by that party as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future breaches.

12. RESERVATION OF RIGHTS

All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by Licensor.

13. ASSIGNMENT

Any attempt by Licensee to sublicense, assign or transfer any of the rights, duties or obligations hereunder is void ab initio.
