VI. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

This Section includes an arbitration agreement and an agreement that all claims will be brought only in an individual capacity (and not as a class action or other representative proceeding). Please read it carefully. You may opt out of the arbitration agreement by following the opt out procedure described below.
Informal Process First. You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and Prognica, you will first contact Prognica and make a good faith sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to more formal means of resolution, including without limitation any court action.

Arbitration Agreement. After the informal dispute resolution process any remaining dispute, controversy, or claim (collectively, “Claim”) relating in any way to your use of Prognica’s services and/or products, including the Services, or relating in any way to the communications between you and Prognica or any other user of the Services, will be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and Prognica. However, this arbitration agreement does not (a) govern any Claim by Prognica for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Service that is unauthorized or exceeds authorization granted in these Terms of Use or (b) bar you from making use of applicable small claims court procedures in appropriate cases. If you are an individual you may opt out of this arbitration agreement within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use this Service by following the procedure described below.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration. Instead, the dispute is resolve by a neutral arbitrator. Court review of an arbitration award is limited. Except to the extent the parties agree otherwise, arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that you and Prognica are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision will survive any termination of these Terms of Use.

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Prognica Labs, PO Box 124 971, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. However, the preceding sentence will not apply to the “Class Action Waiver” section below.

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with Prognica, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to info@prognica.com within thirty (30) days of the first of the date you access or use the Service.

Class Action Waiver

Any Claim must be brought in the respective party’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiff, or similar proceeding (“Class Action”). The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum. If the Claim is subject to arbitration, the arbitrator will not have authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity not a party to the arbitration. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. The parties understand that any right to litigate in court, to have a judge or jury decide their case, or to be a party to a class or representative action, is waived, and that any claims must be decided individually, through arbitration.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Prognica each waive any right to a jury trial.

 

VIII. GENERAL PROVISIONS

Modifications. We may modify these Terms of Use at any time. Modifications become effective immediately upon your first access to or use of the Services after the “Last Revised” date at the top of these Terms of Use. If we make changes that are material, we may use reasonable efforts to attempt to notify you, including by email or placing a prominent notice on the Website. However, it is your sole responsibility to review the Terms of Use from time to time to view any such changes. Your continued access or use of the Services after the modifications have become effective will be deemed your conclusive acceptance of the modified Terms of Use. If you do not agree with the modifications to the Terms of Use, then please do not access or use the Services.

Termination. You may cancel your User Account at any time by sending an email to us at info@prognica.com. If you breach any of the terms of these Terms of Use, all licenses granted by Prognica, including permission to use the Services and Prognica Content, will terminate automatically. Additionally, Prognica may suspend, disable, or delete your User Account and/or the Services (or any part of the foregoing) with or without notice, for any or no reason. If Prognica deletes your User Account for any suspected breach of these Terms of Use by you, you are prohibited from re-registering for the Services under a different name. In the event of User Account deletion for any reason, Prognica will delete all or your User Content, other than any User Content that it must retain pursuant to applicable law. All sections which by their nature should survive the termination of these Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect subsequent to and notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement by Prognica or you. Termination will not limit any of Prognica’s other rights or remedies at law or in equity.

Injunctive Relief. You agree that a breach of these Terms of Use will cause irreparable injury to Prognica for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and Prognica shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any remedies it may have hereunder or at law without a bond, other security or proof of damages.

Miscellaneous. These Terms of Use may not be modified except by a writing executed by the duly-authorized representatives of Prognica. No other act, document, usage or custom will be deemed to modify or amend these Terms of Use. These Terms of Use will inure to the benefit of and will be binding upon each party’s successors and assigns. These Terms of Use and the licenses granted hereunder may be assigned by Prognica but may not be assigned by you without the prior express written consent of Prognica. If any provision hereof is or becomes, at any time or for any reason, unenforceable or invalid, no other provision hereof will be affected thereby and the remaining provisions will continue with the same effect as if such unenforceable or invalid provisions will not have been inserted herein; provided that the ability of either party to obtain substantially the bargained-for performance of the other will not have thereby been impaired. It is expressly understood that in the event either party on any occasion fails to perform any term hereof and the other party does not enforce that term, the failure to enforce on any occasion will not constitute a waiver of any term and will not prevent enforcement on any other occasion. Nothing contained in these Terms of Use will be deemed to constitute either party as the agent or representative of the other party or both parties as joint ventures or partners for any purpose. In the event that either party is prevented from performing, or is unable to perform, any of its obligations under these Terms of Use due to any cause beyond the reasonable control of the party invoking this provision, the affected party’s performance will be extended for the period of delay or inability to perform due to such occurrence. The headings and captions contained herein will not be considered to be part of the Terms of Use but are for convenience only. You and Prognica agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply to the interpretation or construction of these Terms of Use.

Any notices or other communications provided by Prognica under these Terms of Use, including those regarding modifications to these Terms of Use, will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
