PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. THIS SECTION 8, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS ON BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

8.3. Binding Arbitration. YOU AND GlobalDBi AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, PRODUCT, AND/OR DATA UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED ONLY BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, except that (1) You may assert claims in small claims court within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction; and (2) this agreement to arbitrate does not limit Your or GlobalDBi’s right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in state or federal court in Los Angeles County, California to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. To begin an arbitration proceeding, You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing Your claim to GlobalDBi at 340 S Lemon Ave, Ste 1022, Walnut, CA 91789.

The arbitration will be conducted in the English language; the location of such arbitration shall be in Los Angeles County, California. Each party will bear its own costs in the arbitration. The arbitrator will have full power and authority to determine issues of arbitrability and to interpret or construe the provisions of the agreement documents and to fashion appropriate remedies (including temporary, preliminary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief); provided that the arbitrator will not have any right or authority: (i) in excess of the authority that a court having jurisdiction over the parties and the dispute would have absent this arbitration agreement; or (ii) to award damages in excess of the types and limitation of damages found in the Agreement.
