Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (AND A CORRESPONDING JURY TRIAL WAIVER) OF ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS DISPUTES AND CERTAIN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISPUTES) WITH EF AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EF AS FOLLOWS: NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS.

Binding Arbitration; Disputes; Small Claims. YOU AND EF AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, OR THE RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE RESOLVED IN ANY COURT, AND INSTEAD ACCEPT THE USE OF BINDING ARBITRATION; provided, however, that you have the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the Dispute, are satisfied. You agree to bring a Dispute in small claims court in United Kingdom. “Dispute” as used in these Terms means any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy arising out of or in any way related to EF, the Terms, the subject matter of these Terms, or access to and use of the Services, including but not limited to contract, personal injury, tort, warranty, statute or regulation, or other legal or equitable basis and disputes that involve third parties (such as developers of Third Party Materials).

No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and EF agree that any Dispute is personal to you and EF, and that any Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither you nor EF agree that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action whether inside or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.

Confidentiality. The arbitration proceedings shall be confidential. You, EF and the arbitrator shall maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including, without limit, with respect to prepared and used for purposes of the Dispute subject to arbitration herunder. The arbitrator shall have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.

Dispute and Arbitration Process. If you have a Dispute with EF, you agree to first contact EF and attempt to resolve the Dispute informally by sending a written notice of your claim to EF. The notice to EF must be sent by certified mail addressed to Experimental Foundation to its registered address. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, and the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your account, if any; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and EF cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within 30 days after such notice is received, then either party may commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in court. You and EF agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed within one year after such Dispute arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred. In the event that you and EF cannot resolve a Dispute and you do not pursue your claims through small claims court, you or EF shall promptly submit the Dispute to binding arbitration at the office of the United Kingdom Arbitration Association.

Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate, the effect of which is that neither you nor EF can require the other party to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify EF in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision, and must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your EF account, if any, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this agreement to arbitrate pursuant to these Terms. Please send your request to opt out to Experimental Foundation registered adress.

Unless you choose to opt out as provided above, your agreement to settle Disputes via arbitration as set forth in this Section 17 shall survive termination of these Terms.

Your access to and use of the Services may also be subject to national or international laws. EF is based in the United Kingdom and our Services are subject the laws of the United Kingdom.

19. Notices. EF may provide you with notices by electronic mail, regular mail or postings on the Services. If Notice is provided by electronic mail to your last registered email address, notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after electronic mail is sent. If notice is provided by posting through the Services, then notice will be deemed given upon such posting. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Services. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.

20. Miscellaneous. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and EF relating to the subject matter herein, and supersede all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between you and EF with respect to said subject matter. In the event any of the provisions of these Terms are held unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provisions shall be deemed severed, and the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect. The failure of EF to enforce, in any one or more instances, any of the provisions herein shall not be construed as a waiver of the prior or future performance of any such terms or conditions. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and EF as a result of these Terms or use of the Services. The Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by EF without restriction, including by operation of law, merger, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets to which this agreement pertains. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.
