•Informal Resolution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12 you and Econic Network agree that good-faith informal efforts to resolve disputes often can result in a prompt, low-cost and mutually beneficial outcome. You and Econic Network therefore agree that, before either you or Econic Network initiates a court proceeding or demands arbitration against the other as herein provided, we will personally meet and confer, via telephone or videoconference in a good-faith effort to resolve informally any claim arising under or in connection with the provision of this Terms of Service Agreement.

Engaging in an informal dispute resolution conference is a requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing litigation or arbitration. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the informal dispute resolution process required by this paragraph.

•Arbitration. The parties agree that any dispute or claim between them not resolved by informal resolution will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) either party may assert claims in small claims court if the claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) You or Econic Network may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents) or failure of a party to meet the affirmative or negative covenants set forth in this Agreement. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages) and must follow the terms of these Terms of Service as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send an email requesting arbitration and describing your claim to Econic Network at support@econicnetwork.com. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including if appropriate the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at http://www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. Neither party will seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that the claims of a party are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference based on written submissions, or in person in Dallas, Texas or at another mutually agreed location. In amplification of applicable AAA rules and not in limitation thereof, in any arbitration the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. All disputes regarding the payment of arbitrator or arbitration-organization fees including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment, shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator, and not by any court. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Econic. Network The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award, on an individual basis, monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to a party under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and this Agreement (including this arbitration agreement). The arbitrator will issue a written statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which any award (or decision not to render an award) is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The award shall be binding only among the parties and shall have no preclusive effect in any other arbitration or other proceeding involving a different party. The arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The arbitrator’s decision is final and binding on you and Econic Network.

•No class action; no jury trial. We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.
