Any such terms will not vary or replace these Terms of Use regarding any use of this nativeMsg Site, unless otherwise expressly stated.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration; 

Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the nativeMsg Site (including without limitation the arbitrability of any claim or controversy) shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act.  The parties waive their rights to file suit in court to assert any allegation, claim, or cause of action against the other, or to have a jury trial on any allegation, claim, or cause of action, and any right to do so (including without limitation the right to a jury trial) is hereby waived.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and nativeMsg retain the right to seek remedies in small claims court for disputes or claims within that court’s jurisdiction, and nativeMsg retains the right to apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for provisional or conservatory relief, including without limitation pre-arbitral attachments or injunctions, and to adjudicate disputes relating to the infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property.

Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of this nativeMsg Site or these Terms of Use shall be governed by the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Illinois, without reference to choice-of-law rules.  The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures then in effect.  The arbitration shall be presided over by a single arbitrator in Cook County, Illinois.  In the event this venue will cause undue hardship to you, then, the discretion of the arbitrator, the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted, with the parties participating through telephonic or video conference hearings, or at a location reasonably convenient to the parties in the state in which you reside at the time the arbitration is commenced, provided that it is within the Continental U.S.  To the extent that any of the foregoing provisions are inconsistent with JAMS applicable standards then in effect, such JAMS rules shall apply.

Claims subject to this Arbitration Agreement may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis and you will not be able to participate in an arbitration as a representative or member of any class of claimants pertaining to that claim.

All aspects of the arbitration and award shall be confidential, except to the extent disclosure is necessary in connection with an application to a court for a preliminary or permanent injunction, a petition to confirm or vacate an award, to obtain legal or other professional advice necessary for the protection of a party’s rights, or as required by law or judicial decision.

Subject to you demonstrating that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the fees charged to you by JAMS as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost prohibitive to you.

The arbitrator will not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages, and the parties waive any right to recover such damages. As part of the award, the prevailing party shall be awarded its costs, including without limitation arbitration fees, expert witness fees, if any, and reasonable attorney’s fees.

If any portion of these Terms of Use is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, for any reason, that specific portion shall be severed from the rest, but such severance shall not affect the enforceability of the remainder of these Terms of Use. No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving the provision, and any such waiver shall not waive or affect any other provision of this agreement.

THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS LIMIT CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM, THE RIGHT TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE JAMS RULES AND THESE DISPUTE RESOLUTION TERMS, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF; PROVIDED THAT NOTHING HEREIN WILL RESTRAIN A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT’S RIGHT, IF ANY, TO SEEK PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AS PERMITTED BY LAW.  OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IN COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Modification of Terms of Use, Etc.

These Terms of Use constitute the complete agreement between you and nativeMsg with respect to their subject matter and supersede any prior agreement or communication (except for any separately executed agreement between you and nativeMsg that governs your use of any fee-based nativeMsg service). These Terms of Use are subject to change from time to time. nativeMsg will endeavor to post a notice of any changes to these Terms of Use for a period of thirty (30) days following any such modifications. Therefore, you are advised to review these Terms of Use occasionally, or at least every thirty (30) days. Your continued use of this nativeMsg Site subsequent to nativeMsg’s notice of modification of these Terms of Use (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) shall constitute your acceptance of the modified Terms of Use. If any term or provision of these Terms of Use shall be found to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable, such finding shall not affect the other terms or provisions of these Terms of Use, or the whole of these Terms of Use, but such term or provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render such term or provision enforceable, and the rights and obligations of you and nativeMsg shall be construed and enforced accordingly, preserving to the fullest permissible extent the intent and agreements set forth in these Terms of Use. The failure of nativeMsg to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms of Use, or to act with respect to a breach of these Terms of Use by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit nativeMsg’s rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. No waiver by nativeMsg of any provision of these Terms of Use will be of any force or effect unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of nativeMsg, nor will such a waiver be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition. nativeMsg may assign its rights and duties under these Terms of Use to any party at any time without any notice to you. However, you may not assign, transfer, or sublicense these Terms of Use except with the prior written consent of nativeMsg. Your obligations pursuant to these Terms of Use shall survive termination of any use by you of this nativeMsg Site, any Site Content, or these Terms of Use.
