This Agreement and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Massachusetts in the United States without reference to any conflict of law rules. You and CBT agree to submit to the exclusive personal and subject matter jurisdiction and venue of the courts located within Suffolk County in Massachusetts, United States. You agree that you will not use the Services in any country or in any manner prohibited by any applicable laws, restrictions, or regulations.

18. ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

– IMPORTANT – PLEASE REVIEW AS THIS AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

Arbitration Notice

You agree that if there is any dispute or claim arising from or related to our Services (except for the Exempt Claims, as defined below), these Terms of Service and/or the Privacy Policy it will be resolved by confidential binding arbitration in Massachusetts, rather than in court, after first giving Notice of the Dispute (“Notice”) to the other party and the opportunity to discuss resolution within thirty (30) days of such Notice. The Notice to the Company should be sent to CBT One Constitution Road, Suite 200 Boston, Massachusetts 02129 United States. This Notice must include a description of the nature and basis of the claims the party is asserting, and the relief sought.

If you and CBT are unable to resolve the claims described in the Notice within thirty (30) days after the Notice is sent, you or CBT may initiate arbitration proceedings to be conducted by a single impartial arbitrator chosen from the American Arbitration Association (AAA)’s National Roster of Commercial Arbitrators by mutual agreement of the Parties (or by the AAA if the Parties cannot agree). There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the provisions of these Terms of Service as a court would.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.

The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply, and the AAA will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.

The arbitration shall be held in Suffolk County of the State of Massachusetts or at another mutually agreed location. If the arbitration involves a consumer, the arbitration will be held at a location convenient to the consumer. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 USD or less, you or we may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone/video conference or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and us subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone/video conference by you and us unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Massachusetts, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by applicable law. The arbitrator will also decide any questions relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration clause, except where a party files a claim in court because it is an Exempt Claim (as defined below). If either party files an Exempt Claim, the court presiding over that claim will determine if the claim is an Exempt Claim under this Arbitration Clause. The arbitrator’s award shall be confidential, final, and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND CBT AGREE THAT DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.

EXEMPT CLAIMS: You and CBT agree that the following two (2) types of claims are not required to be submitted to an arbitration subject to the following conditions:

(a) You or we are not required to arbitrate a claim brought on an individual basis in small-claims court. However, if (a) there is an appeal from small-claims court, or (b) a change in the claim that renders the small-claims court unable to resolve the claim, then the claim must be resolved in an arbitration under the terms of this arbitration provision; and

(b) You or we are not required to arbitrate a claim brought on an individual basis to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Such a claim may be brought in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and we agree that the infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights could cause irreparable harm for which monetary damages are an inadequate remedy. The prevailing party in an action to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights is entitled to recover costs and fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in pursuing that remedy.

OPT OUT: You may opt-out of this mandatory arbitration provision by writing us within sixty (60) calendar days of your agreement to this arbitration provision by mail to “CBT” to One Constitution Road, Suite 200 Boston, Massachusetts 02129 United States. Include your name, address, and date in the correspondence.

19. NOTICE.

All notices to a party shall be in writing and shall be made either via email or conventional mail. CBT may distribute notices or messages through the Services to inform User of changes to this Agreement, the Services, or other matters of importance; such distribution shall constitute notices to User.

20. PRIVACY POLICY.

CBT’s  Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference in this Agreement. Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information as to how CBT may collect, process, and use Users’ personal information as well as certain rights User’s may have regarding their personal information in relation to the Services provided.

21. GENERAL INFORMATION AND STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.

If any provision(s) of this Agreement are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, then such provision(s) shall be construed, as nearly as possible, to reflect the intentions of the parties with the other provisions remaining in full force and effect. CBT’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by CBT in writing. To the extent permitted by law, and without limiting the effect of any disclaimer contained herein, User and CBT agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to these Services must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action arose; otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred. The section titles in this Agreement are solely used for the convenience of the parties and have no legal or contractual significance. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use affiliate or other services, third-party content or third-party software. If CBT takes any action to enforce this Agreement, CBT, if the prevailing party, will be entitled to recover from you, and you agree to pay, all reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees and any cost of litigation, in addition to any other relief, at law or in equity, to which CBT may be entitled.

To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is deemed to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from this Agreement. Such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

22. VIOLATIONS.
