You agree that, by agreeing to the Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

The Notice to us should be addressed to: SaferVPN, ATTN: Legal Department, 700 S. Flower St., Suite 1500, Los Angeles, CA 90017, USA (“Notice Address”). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute. and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding.

You may download or copy a form Notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.jams.com. If you are required to pay a filing fee, after we receive notice at the Notice Address that you have commenced arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000. The arbitration will be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules &amp. Procedures and the JAMS Expedited Arbitration Procedures (collectively, “JAMS Rules”) of JAMS, as modified by the Terms, and will be administered by JAMS. JAMS Rules and Forms are available online at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitrator is bound by the Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place by video or telephone conference. If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by JAMS Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by JAMS Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of the Agreement. We may make a written settlement offer anytime before an arbitrator is selected. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater.
