Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without giving effect to any conflict or choice of law provisions.

Arbitration & Class Action Waiver

By agreeing to these Terms, and to the extent applicable by local law, you also agree to arbitrate any and all claims against Nexar pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and subject to the terms below. You and Nexar agree that this Section 12 will satisfy the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act, and further agree, that notwithstanding any other provision of the Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.

If a dispute arises between you and Nexar regarding a claim, you and we agree to binding alternative dispute resolution pursuant to the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”).

TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE BY THE APPLICABLE LAW, ARBITRATION REGARDING YOUR CLAIM SHALL BE MANDATORY AND BINDING. NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM THROUGH A COURT. IN ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE AAA RULES.

NO CLASS ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON OR CLASS OF CLAIMANTS SHALL BE PERMITTED.

All parties to the arbitration will have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of their choosing. The arbitration proceeding will be held in New York, New York (borough of Manhattan), unless you elect to proceed with a telephonic hearing or unless you and Nexar agree to an alternative location. Nexar will pay the initial filing fee for any arbitration, but the parties each shall otherwise bear their respective fees and expenses except as may be provided in the AAA Rules.

For a copy of the AAA Rules, to file a claim or for other information about the AAA, contact the AAA at www.adr.org

All determinations as to the scope, interpretation, enforceability and validity of these Terms shall be made final exclusively by the arbitrator, which award shall be binding and final. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of the Services or of these Terms. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in force.

Jurisdiction & Injunctive Relief

Subject to the provisions of Section 12 (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver) and to any applicable law, you and Nexar irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts for New York, New York (borough of Manhattan), USA, for all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12, either party may bring an action in such court for temporary injunctive relief to preserve the status quo or to enjoin a violation of these Terms until an arbitrator can be empanelled and determine whether such relief should continue.

Waiver & Severability

Any failure by Nexar to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason by an arbitrator, court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, the provision shall be modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable while, to the maximum extent possible, reflecting the intent of the parties, and, in any event, the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Assignment & Transfer

We may assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of our rights and obligations under this contract, in whole or in part, at any time without notice. You may not assign this contract or transfer any rights to use the Services without our written permission.
