The word “Claims” means all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and us of any nature or kind, whether pre-existing, present, or future, that arise from or relate to the Product or your use of the Product. This includes but is not limited to disagreements about the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Arbitration Provision.
9.2. Agreement to Arbitrate; Class Action Waiver.
9.2.1. You agree that any and all Claims will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration as described herein, except that: you may assert Claims in a small claims court in the United States if your Claims meet the court’s jurisdictional requirements; and (ii) either party may pursue Claims and/or relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the validity and/or infringement of a party’s intellectual property rights.
9.2.2. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award to you on an individual basis the same damages and forms of relief as a court could (including injunctive and declaratory relief as well as statutory damages), and must follow the law and terms of this Agreement as a court would.
9.2.3. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any CLAIM in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you, ATC Communications nor any other Party will seek to have any CLAIM heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which any party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or other proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
9.3. Arbitration Rules.
9.3.1. If you are a resident of the United States, the arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) under its rules; if your use of the Product has been principally for personal or household use, the JAMS’ procedures for consumer-related disputes, including the minimum fairness standards, will also apply. If you are a resident of the United States, the arbitration proceedings will be conducted at a location designated by JAMS that is the most convenient for you. If you are a resident of a country other than the United States, the arbitration will be conducted by JAMS in New York, New York or London, England, as selected by you, under the JAMS rules for international arbitration. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the applicable arbitration rules and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall govern and control.
9.3.2. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language by a single arbitrator who is an attorney-at-law or barrister, as applicable, with experience in consumer and technology transactions and who is also a member of the JAMS roster of arbitrators. If you and we cannot agree on a mutually acceptable arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the arbitration is initiated, then JAMS will pick a neutral arbitrator who meets the qualifications. The JAMS rules are available at http://www.jamsadr.com, or by calling 1-800-352-5267 from inside the United States or +44 207 583 9808 from outside the United States.
9.4. Initiating Arbitration. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must follow the procedures specified by the applicable JAMS rules as described on their website at http://www.jamsadr.com.
9.5. Arbitration Process.
9.5.1. Because appearing in person for arbitration can be unduly burdensome in some circumstances, arbitration under this Arbitration Provision shall not require any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless mutually agreed. Either or both parties may participate by written submissions, telephone calls, or other means of remote communication as allowed by the arbitrator.
9.5.2. The arbitration can only decide Claim(s) between you and us, and may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons that may have similar claims. There shall be no pre-arbitration discovery except as provided for in the applicable JAMS rules. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. At the request of any party, the arbitrator shall provide a brief written explanation of the basis for the decision and award. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding on the parties except for any right to appeal under the JAMS rules or the Federal Arbitration Act.
9.6. Recovery and Attorneys’ Fees. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of attorneys’ fees and expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. The right to attorneys’ fees and expenses discussed above supplements any right to attorneys’ fees and expenses you may have under applicable law, although you may not recover duplicative awards of attorneys’ fees or costs. If your use of the Products was principally for personal or household use, ATC Communications waives any right it may have to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses from you in connection with any arbitration of Claims between you and ATC Communications.
9.7. Confidentiality. You and we shall keep confidential any information exchanged during the arbitration as well as the decision of the arbitrator made with respect to any Claim(s) arbitrated under this Arbitration Provision and, with the exception of disclosure to your or our attorneys, accountants, auditors, and other legal or financial advisors, neither party shall disclose such information or decision to any other person unless required to do so by law.
9.8. Continuing Obligation to Arbitrate; Severability. This Arbitration Provision shall survive termination of your access to or use of the Product and related agreements. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable at law, such invalid or unenforceable provision will be interpreted, construed, reformed or severed to the extent required to make it valid and enforceable, and this shall not invalidate the remaining portions of this Arbitration Provision.

10.1. The Product is not intended, designed or fit for placing, carrying or supporting emergency calls to any hospitals, law enforcement agencies, medical care units, emergency services personnel, public safety answering points or any other kind of emergency services or any other calls for the purposes of obtaining assistance, help or aid in the event of an emergency.
