11. Legal – Dispute Procedures, Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver

THIS SECTION MAY AFFECT YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

This section addresses BINDING ARBITRATION and CLASS ACTIONS. The section applies to you if you live within the United States. The section may or may not apply to you if you live outside of the United States yet still avail yourself of AlcaCruz Services.

All users of AlcaCruz Services shall act in good faith. Before BINDING ARBITRATION is pursued, all users and all AlcaCruz personnel shall act in good faith to resolve any and all disputes. The good faith actions will commence for a period of 60 calendar days in order to reach resolution.

If the parties are not able to reach resolution, and if BINDING ARBITRATION is determined to be necessary, either party may unilaterally initiate BINDING ARBITRATION.

All claims arising from this Agreement shall be heard and decided by an Arbitrator. Said Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising from this Agreement. That is, the Arbitrator, and not a Federal, State, County, City, or Local judge shall have any authority in a claim arising from this Agreement. This exclusive authority is absolute unless both parties agree in writing to not arbitrate but, instead, to take the dispute to a Federal or State level judge.

Exclusive authority allows the Arbitrator to settle all disputes arising from the Agreement, including but not limited to, disputes about Agreement formation, Agreement enforceability, and Agreement interpretation.

All parties agree to be bound by the Arbitrator’s decision. The Arbitrator’s decision may be entered as a judgment in any Federal or State court.

Arbitration will take place in San Mateo county, San Francisco or San Jose, California, USA.

Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.

YOU AND ALCACRUZ 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.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception - Litigation of Intellectual Property Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court that asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation, but not, for clarity, claims related to the license granted to you for the AlcaCruz Service under this Agreement.

30 Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in the "Binding Arbitration," "Location," and "Class Action Waiver" paragraphs above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address:

AlcaCruz Inc.

Attention: Legal

411 Borel Avenue, Suite 510

San Mateo, CA 94402

The notice must be sent within 30 days of first accessing or using AlcaCruz Services and agreeing to these terms.
