Flurry's acquiescence in the breach of a provision of this Agreement or failure to act upon such breach does not waive Flurry's right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Likewise, the delay or failure of Flurry to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Choice of Law and Forum
This Agreement and the relationship between you and Flurry shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions below, you and Flurry hereby agree to submit exclusively, to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts with jurisdiction over San Francisco, California and/or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
Binding Arbitration
Certain portions of this Section are deemed to be a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Flurry agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act.
You or Flurry may elect to have any controversy, allegation or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the AppCloud Service, including but not limited to claims for indemnification, contribution, or cross-claims in a pending action involving one or more third parties (collectively, a "Dispute") finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in San Francisco, California; but if the applicable arbitration rules or laws require the arbitration to be conducted in the "metropolitan statistical area" (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration, Flurry shall have the right to elect to proceed to arbitration in such location. 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. You and Flurry will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Flurry to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section to be enforceable, then Flurry will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT (I) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER; (II) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; AND (III) 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 AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR FLURRY WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR FLURRY MUST COMMENCE IT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES - OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
In the event either you or Flurry elects arbitration, for any Dispute where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000 USD, the party requesting relief may further elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, and the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (ii) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (iii) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and Flurry and governs your use of the AppCloud Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Flurry with respect to the AppCloud Service.
Assignment
You will not assign this Agreement, or delegate or sublicense any of your rights under this Agreement, without Flurry's prior written consent. Any assignment or transfer in violation of this Agreement will be void.
No Third Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement does not create any third party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a party to this Agreement.
Survival
The terms and conditions contained in this Agreement that by their sense and context are intended to survive the performance hereof by the Parties hereunder, including but not limited to the provisions relating to Indemnity, Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability, shall so survive the completion of the performance, cancellation or termination of this Agreement.
