10. Dispute Resolution.

10.1 Arbitration

Any claim or dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable but excluding claims for injunctive or other relief as set forth below) arising out of or related to these Terms or your use of the Unified Materials must be referred to and finally decided by binding and confidential arbitration under sections 10.1 to 10.4. The Federal Arbitration Act (rather than any state arbitration law) controls. Arbitration is conducted before a commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“). Unless we both agree otherwise in writing, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules govern the arbitration. Despite the normal arbitration requirement, Unified may seek injunctive or other equitable relief to protect its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction.You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters you choose to bring in small claims court. A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR will decide your rights, NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.10.2 RulesWe all must abide by these rules:ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR UNIFIED MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDINGTHE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF.

If you can demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, Unified will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigationUnified also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all the arbitration costs the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized by law the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as required by law or to enforce the arbitration award the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies permitted by applicable law and each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless a statutory provision requires the prevailing party to pay its fees and litigation expenses, and then, applicable law determines the fees and costs awarded.10.3 Proceedings and AwardThe arbitration and all pleadings and written evidence will be in English. The arbitrator must issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including calculating any damages awarded. The arbitrator doesn’t have authority to award damages over the amount or other than the types allowed by Section 7. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator also may grant any temporary, preliminary, or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of the Terms, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as allowed by Texas law or United States federal law.
The above agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply if:either you or Unified would rather bring an individual action in small claims court in the state or federal courts in Dallas County, Texas.either you or Unified need to seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts in Dallas County, Texas, to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and each party agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts within Dallas County, Texas, for such purpose.

A request for interim measures is a waiver of the right to arbitrate.

10.4 Provision Void. If either subsection 10.2(1) or 10.2(2) is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then this entire arbitration provision shall be void, and neither you nor Unified shall be entitled to arbitration. If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in a state or federal court in Dallas County, Texas. You agree to the above arbitration provision by using the Site in any manner.
