This section affects your rights so please read it carefully.
Agreement to Arbitrate. This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section of the Terms is referred to in these Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Artificial Societies, whether arising out of or relating to these Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), the Website or Services, any aspect of the relationship or transactions between us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Artificial Societies are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. You and Artificial Societies agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Artificial Societies agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, or class proceeding. Also, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claims.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. Artificial Societies is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and fairly, and so if you have concerns, we strongly encourage you to first contact us about them at support@societies.io. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to Artificial Societies should be sent to: Artificial Societies Ltd, 5 New Street Square, London, United Kingdom, EC4A 3TW (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If Artificial Societies and you do not resolve the claim within 60 calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Artificial Societies may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Artificial Societies or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Artificial Societies is entitled.
Arbitration Procedures. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including their formation, validity, interpretation, performance or termination, will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the LCIA Arbitration Rules (the “LCIA Rules”) in force at the time of commencement of the arbitration, which rules are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The seat of arbitration will be London, England. The Tribunal will consist of a sole arbitrator appointed in accordance with the LCIA Rules. The language of the arbitration will be English.
To the extent there is any conflict between the LCIA Rules and these Terms, these Terms will prevail, provided that such conflict does not affect the fundamental fairness of the proceedings. The arbitrator shall have full authority to rule on their own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the arbitration agreement. The arbitrator must apply and follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would, and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant under English law, including specific performance, injunctive relief and award of costs.
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, hearings will take place in London, but the Tribunal may decide - taking into account the parties’ convenience and the efficient conduct of the arbitration - to conduct procedural meetings or hearings by videoconference or on the documents alone. The Tribunal will issue a reasoned award in writing, stating the findings of fact and legal reasons for its decision. Awards are final and binding on the parties and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.
Costs of Arbitration. All filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the LCIA Rules. Each party will bear its own legal and other costs in respect of the arbitration, unless the Tribunal directs otherwise in its award. The confidentiality provisions of the LCIA Rules will apply to the arbitration and any award made thereunder.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than the subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection above titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void. The remainder of the Terms will continue to apply.
Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, Artificial Societies agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Services, you may reject any such change by sending Artificial Societies written notice within thirty 30 calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
You agree that Artificial Societies, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Services and remove and discard any content within the Services, for any reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Artificial Societies believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms.
Artificial Societies may also in its sole discretion and at any time discontinue providing the Services, or any part thereof, with or without notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Services under any provision of these Terms may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that Artificial Societies may (but has no obligation to) immediately deactivate or delete your account and all related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to such files or the Services. Termination of your account or access to any component of the Services will not terminate Artificial Societies’s rights to your Content. Further, you agree that Artificial Societies will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Services.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any documents expressly incorporated by reference, form the complete and exclusive agreement between you and Artificial Societies concerning your use of the Services. They supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, proposals, negotiations or representations, whether written or oral, relating to the Services.
Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, Venue. These Terms and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them (including non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, without giving effect to its conflict-of-law rules. Subject to the Dispute Resolution clause above, you and Artificial Societies Ltd irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales to resolve any such dispute or claim.
Severance. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, that provision shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect.
No Waiver. Any failure of Artificial Societies to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Expiration of Claims. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Services or these Terms must be brought within one year after the claim or cause of action accrues, or it will be permanently barred.
Assignment. You may not assign or transfer any of your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent; any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent will be void. Artificial Societies may assign, novate or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, at its discretion, including in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets.
Notices. Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Site may also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Services.
Data processing. Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, our lawful bases, retention periods, international transfers, and your rights to access, erase or port your data.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms at any time. If we do this, we will post the changes on this page and will indicate at the top of this page the date these terms were last revised. Any such changes will become effective no earlier than 14 days after they are posted, except that changes addressing new functions of the Services or changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. If you object, you may cancel your subscription and we will refund any fees paid for unused Services. Your continued use of the Services after the date any such changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
