EXHIBIT A
BINDING ARBITRATION

This Exhibit A to the Terms describes the further provisions which apply to the binding arbitration and class action waiver in Section 12 above.

  • Disputes. A dispute is any controversy between you and Resonance concerning the Service, any software related to the Service, an Account or any part of these Terms, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of Resonance's intellectual property rights. As part of the best-efforts process to resolve disputes, and prior to initiating arbitration proceedings, you agree to provide notice of the dispute to Resonance, including a description of the dispute, what efforts have been made to resolve it and what you are requesting as resolution.
  • Arbitration Procedure. Disputes not resolved pursuant to Section (a) in this Exhibit will be resolved through arbitration. The American Arbitration Association ("AAA") will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Arbitration hearings will take place in Vancouver, BC, Canada. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must: (a) follow all applicable substantive Law; (b) follow applicable statutes of limitations; (c) honor valid claims of privilege; (d) issue a written decision including the reasons for the award. The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees). Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim; however, a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity.
  • Conflict with AAA Rules. These Terms govern if there is a conflict with the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules.
  • Requirement to File Within One Year. Notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, a claim or dispute under these Terms must be noticed for arbitration within one year of when it could first be filed, or that claim will be permanently barred.
  • Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts will not be arbitrated but will be resolved in court, with the balance resolved through arbitration. If any provision of this Exhibit A is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed; however, the remaining provisions shall still apply and shall be interpreted to as nearly as possible achieve the original intent of this Exhibit, inclusive of the severed provision.
