- This Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration section is referred to in the Airdrop Terms as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and us, whether arising out of or relating to the Airdrop Terms (including any alleged breach thereof), any Airdrop and any aspect of the relationship or transactions between you and us, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court, in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. You agree that, by agreeing to the Airdrop Terms, we both are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator as stipulated in this Arbitration Agreement, not a judge or jury.
- Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND US AGREE THAT EACH OF YOU AND US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND US AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.
- Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution. We are always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user’s satisfaction by emailing support at legal@datanirvana.xyz. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to us should be sent to legal@datanirvana.xyz (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and us do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or us may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or us is entitled.
- Arbitration Process. You and the Company agree that, after the informal dispute resolution process, any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to any Airdrop, any use or access or lack of access to the Claims Site, and any other interaction with us, even if outside of the Claims Site, will be resolved by final and binding arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the Claim.
- Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration administered will be administered by the London Court of International Arbitration in accordance with the LCIA Rules then in effect ("LCIA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The Arbitration shall be conducted in English before a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator shall possess expertise in commercial law and, where applicable, technology-related disputes.
- Inconsistencies. If there is any inconsistency between any term of the LCIA Rules and any term of this Arbitration Agreement, the applicable terms of this Arbitration Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Arbitration Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration.
- Location. Unless we both agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the seat of arbitration shall be the Cayman Islands.
- Arbitral decisions. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of the Airdrop Terms as a court would.
- Costs of Arbitration. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the LCIA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Arbitration Agreement.
- Legal Fees. Each party shall bear its own legal fees and costs (including attorneys' fees) unless the arbitrator, at their discretion, determines that such fees and costs should be awarded to the prevailing party.
- Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.
- Severability. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement (other than subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”, above) is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court or the arbitrator decides that any of the provisions of the subsection titled “Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief” are invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Airdrop Terms will continue to apply.
- Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in the Airdrop Terms to the contrary, we agree that if we make any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Claims Site, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Airdrop Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Airdrop Terms).
- MISCELLANEOUS
- Entire Agreement. These Airdrop Terms, together with any additional policies or agreements incorporated by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to the Claims Site or the Tokens.
- Severability. If any provision of these Airdrop Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the limited extent necessary to render it valid, legal, and enforceable.
- No Waiver. No failure or delay by the Company to exercise any right, remedy, or power under these Airdrop Terms shall operate as a waiver thereof. A waiver of any right or remedy hereunder shall be effective only if made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company.
- Modifications to Airdrop Terms. The Company reserves the right to modify or update these Airdrop Terms at any time by posting the revised Airdrop Terms on the Claims Site or by other electronic means. Your continued use of the Claims Site or acceptance of Tokens following any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Airdrop Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Airdrop Terms, you must stop using the Claims Site immediately.
