If a dispute arises between you and InPubliq, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost-effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and InPubliq agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our App in accordance with one of the subsections below or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution.
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against InPubliq must be resolved by a court located in Texas, except as otherwise agreed by the parties. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Texas for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in Texas in accordance with the American Arbitration Association's rules. Each party shall bear its own costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
YOU AND INPUBLIQ 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 InPubliq 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.
