DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Proptia in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Proptia agree that any and all disputes arising out of or relating in any way with these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms or the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND PROPTIA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Services or under these Terms must be filed by either party within two (2) years after such claim or cause of action arose or it will be forever barred.
Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection 16.a, we both agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Proptia will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1–800–778–7879, or by contacting Proptia.
Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Proptia’s address for Notice is Proptia, P.O. Box 845, Placentia, CA 92871. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). Proptia agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but If we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Proptia may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Proptia shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any; provided that if our dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Proptia shall pay you the greater of (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the greatest amount offered by Proptia in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.00.
Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, Proptia will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees shall be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Orange County, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, the party requesting relief may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. This non-appearance-based arbitration must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online, and/or be solely based on written submissions (the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration); (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Proptia for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
No Class Actions. YOU AND PROPTIA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Proptia 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.
Enforceability. If only a Subsection of this Section or the entirety of this Previous Section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the Following Section shall govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Governing Law. These Terms, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Wyoming by Wyoming residents regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Services, and without regard to conflict of law principles or the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods.
Jurisdiction and Venue. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and Proptia agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Wyoming for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
Entire Agreement.

Severability. In the event that any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, then: (a) such provision shall be deemed reformed to the extent strictly necessary to render such provision valid and enforceable, or if not capable of such reformation shall be deemed severed from these Terms; and (b) the validity and enforceability of all of the other provisions hereof, shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.
Compliance with Laws. You agree to abide by all applicable laws in your use of the Service, including export control laws and similar regulations governing the transfer of software and other technology outside of the United States or other jurisdictions.
Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without the prior written consent of Proptia, whether expressly or by operation of law, including in connection with a merger or change of control, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Proptia may assign these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms shall be binding on the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Force Majeure. You acknowledge and understand that if Proptia is unable to provide the Service as a result of a force majeure event Proptia will not be in breach of these Terms. A force majeure event means any event beyond the control of Proptia.
Waiver. The failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, a right, power or remedy provided in these Terms or by law shall not constitute a waiver of that right, power or remedy. Proptia’s waiver of any obligation or breach of these Terms shall not operate as a waiver of any other obligation or subsequent breach of these Terms.

You may not export or re-export a Proptia Device or any element of the Service without (a) the prior written consent of Proptia, (b) complying with any applicable export control laws, and (c) obtaining all appropriate permits and licenses. In any event, you may not transfer or authorize the transfer of the Proptia Device to a prohibited territory, country or organization (currently including, without limitation Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan and Syria and any organization named on the United States’ Commerce Department’s “Denied Parties List”) or otherwise in violation of any applicable restrictions or regulations.
