  11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
    1. Law; Venue. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice of laws rules. Any claim, suit, action, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement, any Ordering Terms, or the Parties’ relationship shall be instituted only in the state and federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, USA.
    2. Arbitration Agreement. Subject to the Arbitration Exceptions described below, any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of our Service, Site or any products, services, or information you receive through our Site or Service, shall be submitted to confidential, binding arbitration in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, USA, or, at your election, in the county seat of the county within the USA where you reside. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
    3. Arbitration Exceptions. The agreement to arbitrate does not apply to: (i) any claim within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is an individual dispute and not a class action; and (ii) any dispute relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights (the “Arbitration Exceptions”). Nothing in this Section 11 precludes a party from seeking injunctive relief in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction.
    4. Initial Informal Resolution Process. Before commencing an arbitration, you agree to inform us of the nature of the claim, material facts sufficient to assess the merits of the claim, and the relief you seek by sending an email to notices@cloudx.io so stating. We will send any notice of a Dispute to you at the contact information we have available for you, which may include, if applicable, the contact information associated with your CloudX account. You and CloudX will attempt to resolve the dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning from the date the notice of a dispute is sent. This informal negotiation requires an individual meet-and-confer in person, or via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the dispute between you and CloudX. After the end of the sixty (60) day informal negotiation period and not before, and only after the completion of the informal negotiation, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding regarding the dispute. 
    5. Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration between you and CloudX will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting CloudX. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
    6. Notice; Arbitration Process. If, following the informal dispute resolution process the parties do not reach a resolution, and you or CloudX intends to seek arbitration, then the party seeking arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by U.S. Mail ("Notice"). CloudX address for Notice is: CloudX, 625 E Main St., Suite 102B, Aspen, CO 81611, with an email copy sent to: notices@cloudx.io. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or CloudX must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. Each party’s attorneys’ fees, expert costs, and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with arbitration will be borne by the party incurring such costs and expenses. The Parties will agree to conduct the dispute: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance-based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. You and CloudX agree that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from you or CloudX made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
    7. Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief. YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST CLOUDX OR OTHERWISE TO SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWABLE BY LAW, THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY CLAIMS TO BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD THE SAME RELIEF AVAILABLE IN COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE OR DECLARATORY RELIEF). THE ARBITRATOR MAY ONLY AWARD FINAL RELIEF IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE FINAL RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT INDIVIDUAL PARTY'S CLAIM, EXCEPT THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY ISSUE INJUNCTIVE AND/OR DECLARATORY RELIEF. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT AWARD FINAL RELIEF FOR, AGAINST, OR ON BEHALF OF ANYONE WHO IS NOT A NAMED PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL BASIS, EXCEPT IN THE FORM OF A PUBLIC INJUNCTION AND/OR DECLARATORY RELIEF IF SUCH PUBLIC RELIEF IS AVAILABLE UNDER A STATUTE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE DISPUTE.
    8. Acknowledgement. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THE ABOVE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE, AND TO BE PARTY TO A CONSOLIDATED, CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION, SUBJECT TO THE EXCEPTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
