13.   Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

This Section 13 is an agreement between you and TM, and applies to our respective agents, employees, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors, beneficiaries and assigns.

This Section 13 shall be interpreted broadly and shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any TM Service and its marketing, or the relationship between you and TM, including the validity, enforceability, and scope of this Section 13 ("Disputes"), shall be determined exclusively by binding arbitration. This includes claims that accrued before you entered into this Agreement. The only Disputes not covered by this Section 13 are claims regarding the infringement, protection or validity of your, TM's or TM's licensors' trade secrets, copyright, trademark or patent rights.

 

You and TM shall first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration. The informal negotiations begin upon receipt of written notice from one party to the other ("Notice of Dispute"). The Notice of Dispute must: (a) include the full name and contact information of the complaining party; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought.

Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration shall be administered by the Cyprus Consumer Center for Alternative Dispute Resolution.

 

YOU AND TM 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 AS TO ALL DISPUTES. The arbitrator shall not consolidate another person's claims with your claims and shall not preside over any type of representative or class proceeding.
