To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Service ("Dispute"), you and BetBoard, Inc. agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other.
If you and BetBoard, Inc. are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or BetBoard, Inc. may elect to have the Dispute (with the exception of those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator, and if you and BetBoard, Inc. cannot agree on who that single arbitrator will be, the arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration will be conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided herein, you and BetBoard, Inc. may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
You and BetBoard, Inc. agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between BetBoard, Inc. and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
You and BetBoard, Inc. agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or BetBoard, Inc.'s intellectual property rights; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.
Any disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Service and your use of the BetBoard will be governed by the laws of the state of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.
No waiver by BetBoard, Inc. of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of BetBoard, Inc. to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and BetBoard, Inc. regarding our Service, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have had between us regarding the Service.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without BetBoard, Inc.'s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and void. BetBoard, Inc. may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications provided by BetBoard, Inc. under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Service. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a revision is material, we will provide at least 30 days' notice prior to any new terms taking effect. What constitutes a material change will be determined at our sole discretion.
Neither party shall be liable for any failure to perform its obligations hereunder where such failure results from any cause beyond such party’s reasonable control, including, without limitation, mechanical, electronic, or communications failure or degradation.
The headings in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not be used to limit or construe the contents of any provision of these Terms.
