#Battery Labs Terms of Use
##Version 1.1
###Last revised on: October 30, 2023
The website located at https://batterylabs.io (" Website") is a copyrighted work belonging to Battery Labs Limited ("Battery Labs," "Company," "us," "our," and "we"). By signing up or otherwise accessing any of Battery Labs websites or services, including all associated features and functionalities, websites, platforms, and user interfaces, as well as all content and software applications associated with our services (collectively, the " Site"), you are entering into a binding contract with Battery Labs. CRYPTOASSETS POSE UNIQUE RISKS. SEE SECTION 7 FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION OF THESE RISKS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE RISKS, PLEASE CEASE USING THE SITE.
Your submission of information, including personal information, through or in connection with the Site is governed by the terms of our privacy policy as updated from time to time, available at https:// batterylabs.io/privacy-policy ("Privacy Policy"). All such additional terms, guidelines, and rules, including our Privacy Policy, are incorporated by reference into these terms of use ("Terms").
THESE TERMS SET FORTH THE LEGALLY BINDING TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN YOUR USE OF THE SITE. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THESE TERMS (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT), AND YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AUTHORITY, AND CAPACITY TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE ENTITY THAT YOU REPRESENT). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS AND/OR USE THE SITE. THESE TERMS REQUIRE THE USE OF ARBITRATION (SECTION 18.2) ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO AMEND THESE TERMS AT ANY TIME AND WILL NOTIFY YOU OF ANY SUCH CHANGES BY POSTING THE REVISED TERMS ON OUR WEBSITE, BATTERYLABS.IO. YOU SHOULD CHECK THE TERMS ON OUR WEBSITE PERIODICALLY FOR CHANGES. ALL CHANGES SHALL BE EFFECTIVE UPON POSTING. WE WILL DATE THE TERMS WITH THE LAST DAY OF REVISION. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SITE AFTER ANY CHANGE TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES YOUR AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY ANY SUCH CHANGES.
The Site may provide qualified persons ("Users") with an interface through which they can interact with the Ethereum blockchain to create and redeem certain digital assets (" Crypto Assets"), subject to certain conditions. If enabled, eligible Users are able to use the interface to create and redeem Crypto Assets upon proper eligibility determination ("Services"). For purposes of these Terms, Crypto Assets are ERC-20 tokens that are implemented on the Ethereum blockchain and that use the protocol and smart contracts developed by Alongside Finance, Inc. ("Alongside"). This includes index tokens that use the Alongside Network Protocol and its smart contracts and represent collateralized baskets of underlying digital assets ("Index Tokens"), such as the AMKT token ("AMKT Token"). The composition of Index Tokens is determined by reference to the applicable Crypto Asset index. The only Crypto Asset that is currently supported on the Site is the AMKT Token.
To create the AMKT Token, eligible Users send the equivalent amount of the underlying digital assets to the smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain (“AMKT smart contract”). Upon confirmation of receipt of those assets, the AMKT smart contract will mint a corresponding amount of AMKT Token, which will be sent to the User's Wallet. To redeem the AMKT Token, an eligible User will send the AMKT Token to the AMKT smart contract and will receive a basket of the underlying digital assets in return. Certain governance aspects of the AMKT Token, including the ability to suggest changes to the applicable AMKT Token index and/or the AMKT smart contract, are administered by the AMKT Decentralized Autonomous Organization ("AMKT DAO").
While certain Crypto Assets may be created or redeemed using the Services, Battery Labs does not endorse any particular Crypto Asset or otherwise offer any advice or recommendations with respect to a particular Crypto Asset. Any Crypto Asset or predefined Index Token that is made available on the Site is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, personalized financial advice to you.
To access the Services on the Site, you must have access to a compatible virtual currency wallet (" Wallet") that supports ERC-20 tokens. Any Crypto Assets you acquire through the Site will be held and administered solely by you through your Wallet, and we shall have no access to or responsibility in regard to your Wallet or any Crypto Asset held in your Wallet. It is solely your responsibility to determine what Wallet software to use in connection with the Site, and your use of such Wallets are subject to any governing terms of use or privacy policy of such Wallet. While the Company has added support for certain Wallets and Crypto Assets on the site, you acknowledge and agree that we are under no obligation to add additional support for other Wallets or other Crypto Assets, and that the inclusion of any particular Wallet or Crypto Asset is not an endorsement by us of such Wallet or Crypto Asset.
Battery Labs will not create a hosted Wallet for you or otherwise custody Crypto Assets on your behalf, and it is your sole responsibility to maintain the security of your Wallet. In the event that you lose access to your Wallet, a private key, password, or other method of securing your Wallet, the assets in that Wallet may be irretrievable, and Battery Labs will be unable to assist you in any way. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against Battery Labs, its affiliates and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives related to your use of any Wallet software, associated loss of assets, transaction failures, or any other defects that arise in the course of your use of your Wallet, including any losses that may result from any failure in the smart contracts that are made available on the Site.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, all or any part of our Site with or without notice. You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of all or any part of our Site.
THE SITE IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE PLATFORM ONLY. WE ARE NOT A BROKER, DEALER, FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, EXCHANGE, CUSTODIAN, ROBO-ADVISOR, INTERMEDIARY, MONEY TRANSMITTER, OR CREDITOR. THE SITE DOES NOT FACILITATE TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN BUYERS AND SELLERS, INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSACTIONS THAT OCCUR DURING AN INDEX REBALANCE. THE COMPANY IS NOT A COUNTERPARTY TO ANY TRANSACTION ON THE SITE OR FOR ANY USER OF THE SITE. NEITHER THE SITE NOR THE COMPANY PROVIDES FINANCIAL ADVISORY, LEGAL, REGULATORY, OR TAX SERVICES DIRECTLY, INDIRECTLY, IMPLICITLY, OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER, AND YOU SHOULD NOT CONSIDER ANY CONTENT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE POSTED ON THE SITE TO BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL, LEGAL, REGULATORY, TAX OR OTHER ADVICE. THE COMPANY DOES NOT SUPPORT OR ENDORSE ANY UNAFFILIATED PROVIDER OR RECIPIENT OF THE SERVICES, AND EACH UNAFFILIATED PROVIDER AND RECIPIENT OF THE SERVICES IS AN INDEPENDENT AGENT WITH NO EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE COMPANY.
Crypto Assets, including Index Tokens, may be available for purchase via third-party exchanges or other platforms. The cost to purchase Crypto Assets on a third-party platform will be determined by that platform, and there may be costs or fees associated with that purchase. The Company is not liable for any such costs or fees that are incurred when buying Crypto Assets on a third-party platform, or for any operational disruptions or failures on a third-party platform that occur when purchasing Crypto Assets.
Although Index Tokens are designed to reflect the value of the underlying digital assets, the price to sell Index Tokens on a third-party platform, and the denomination in which the sale proceeds will be paid, will be determined by that platform at the time of sale. There may be costs or fees associated with a sale of the Crypto Assets. The Company is not liable for any such costs or fees that are incurred when selling Crypto Assets on a third-party platform, or for any operational disruptions or failures on a third-party platform when selling Index Tokens.
Required Information. In order to use certain features of the Site, you must first log in with your Wallet and provide certain information to verify your eligibility to access the Services. The Company and third-party vendors will review this information and determine your eligibility to participate in the Services. The Company is not liable if you mishandle, disclose or otherwise share your personal information with third parties outside of the Services.
Consent to access, processing and storage of your personally identifiable information or personal data ("Personal Data"). You consent to the Company and its assigns and designated vendors accessing, processing and retaining any personal information you provide to us for the purpose of providing Services to you. This consent is not related to, and does not affect, any rights or obligations we or you have in accordance with data protection laws, privacy laws, and regulations. Please see our Privacy Policy for further information about how we process your Personal Data, and your corresponding rights.
Some of the Services involve the use of the Ethereum blockchain network, which may require that you pay a fee, commonly known as "Ethereum Gas Fee," for the computational resources required to perform a transaction. You acknowledge and agree that the Company has no control over: (a) the cost or the time to process an Ethereum blockchain transaction; (b) the method of payment of any Ethereum Gas Fee; or (c) any actual payments of Ethereum Gas Fees. Accordingly, you must ensure that you have a sufficient balance of Ether stored at your Wallet to complete any transaction on the Ethereum blockchain network before initiating such transactions. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you of any Ethereum Gas Fees before initiating any Services that require the use of the Ethereum blockchain network.
You may be subject to certain additional fees and commissions, including fees imposed by the AMKT DAO. We currently charge for the use of certain of our Services, when enabled, and/or access to the Site. Those fees may be viewed at https://amkt.batterylabs.io/direct-redemption. We reserve the right to levy additional fees in the future or change current fees, including fees for access to information or service fees to support the operation of the Site. You agree to promptly pay such fees and commissions, as set forth on the Site and as applicable to the transactions and Services you receive, which we may modify from time to time. In the event that we add fees to the Site or any of our Services, we will post a notification on the Site prior to any such fees going into effect.
Notwithstanding anything in these Terms to the contrary, it is your sole responsibility to determine whether, and to what extent, any taxes apply to your usage of the Site, and to withhold, collect, report and remit the correct amount of taxes to the appropriate tax authorities.
As a condition of accessing the Site, you represent and warrant to Battery Labs the following: If you are entering into these Terms as an individual, then you are at least the greater or 18 years old or of legal age to enter into contractual relations with Battery Labs.

You do not, and will not, use VPN software or any other privacy or anonymization tools or techniques to circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, any restrictions that apply to the Site.
You represent that your access and use of the Site will fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations, and that you will not access or use the Site to conduct, promote, or otherwise facilitate any illegal activity.
You will use your own judgment, conduct your own due diligence and seek any legal, financial, tax, accounting and other professional advice that may be appropriate before making any decision to transact in a Crypto Asset.
You agree and acknowledge that Battery Labs retains sole discretion to terminate your access to Services for any reason or no reason at all.
Battery Labs is not engaged in the business of the offer, sale or trading of securities or other financial instruments and does not provide legal, tax, or investment advice. All information provided in connection with your access and use of the Site is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional or investment advice. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on any information contained on the Site or any other information that we make available at any time, including, without limitation, blog posts, articles, links to third-party content, Discord content, news feeds, tutorials, tweets, and videos. Before you make any financial, legal, or other decisions involving the Site, you should seek independent professional advice from an individual who is licensed and qualified in the area for which such advice would be appropriate. These Terms are not intended to, and do not, create or impose any fiduciary duties on us. You further agree that the only duties and obligations that we owe you are those set out expressly in these Terms.
You understand and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for any and all actions that you undertake using the Services and the Site, and all instructions entered by you are unsolicited and based on your own decisions. You understand and acknowledge that you have not received and do not expect to receive any advice from Battery Labs in connection with your use of the Services. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms, you understand and acknowledge that Battery Labs accepts no responsibility whatsoever for, and shall in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with, your decisions or any gains/losses created through User decisions. You further understand and acknowledge that under no circumstances will your use of the Services be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision or tendering of investment advice. You acknowledge that neither Battery Labs or its employees, agents, principals or representatives, nor any of our affiliates or their employees, agents, principals, or representatives (i) provide investment advice in connection with the Site or the Services, (ii) recommend any Crypto Assets or related transactions, or (iii) solicit Services. To the extent research materials or similar information are made available through the Site, you hereby understand and acknowledge that these materials are intended for informational and educational purposes only and do not constitute a recommendation by Battery Labs to enter into any transactions or to engage in any investment strategies.
By accessing or using the Site in any way, you represent and warrant that you understand the inherent risks associated with cryptographic systems and blockchain-based networks; digital assets in general and Crypto Assets in particular, including the usage and intricacies of digital assets like Ether (ETH); smart contract-based tokens, such as those that follow the Ethereum Token Standard; and systems that interact with blockchain-based networks. Battery Labs does not own or control any of the underlying software through which blockchain networks are formed. In general, the software underlying blockchain networks, including the Ethereum blockchain, is open-source, such that anyone can use, copy, modify, and distribute it.
By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge and agree (a) that Battery Labs is not responsible for the operation of the software and networks underlying the Site, (b) that there exists no guarantee of the functionality, security, or availability of that software and networks, and (c) that the underlying networks are subject to sudden changes in operating rules, such as those commonly referred to as "forks," which may materially affect the Site.
Blockchain networks use public/private key cryptography. You acknowledge and understand that you alone are responsible for securing your private key(s). We do not have access to your private key(s). Losing control of your private key(s) will permanently and irreversibly deny you access to Crypto Assets and other digital assets in your Wallet. Neither Battery Labs nor any other person or entity will be able to retrieve or protect your Crypto Assets. If your private key(s) are lost, then you will not be able to transfer your Crypto Assets to any other blockchain address or wallet or sell those Crypto Assets. If this occurs, then you will not be able to realize any value or utility from the Crypto Assets that you may hold in your Wallet.
The regulatory status of digital assets is uncertain in many jurisdictions. You acknowledge and understand that the Site and your Crypto Assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory actions, which could impede or limit the ability of Battery Labs to continue to make available any portion(s) of the Site which rely on any Battery Labs' proprietary software and, thus, could impede or limit your ability to access or use the Site or the Services.
You acknowledge and understand that cryptography is a developing field with advances in cyber intrusion and other technical advancements, such as the development of quantum computers, which may present risks to Crypto Assets and the Site, and which could result in theft or loss of your Crypto Assets, or difficulty in using the Site and the Services. The Company may limit access to the Site and the Services in the event of a critical security problem, but this does not guarantee or otherwise ensure full security of the Site.
You understand that the Ethereum blockchain remains under development, which creates technological and security risks when using the Site. You acknowledge that the cost of transacting on the Ethereum blockchain is variable and may increase at any time, impacting any activities that are occurring on the Ethereum blockchain. This may result in price fluctuations or increased costs when using the Services.
You acknowledge that the Site and the Services may be subject to flaws and that you are solely responsible for evaluating any code provided by the Site. This warning and others set forth these Terms in no way evidence or represent an on-going duty by Battery Labs or its affiliates to alert you to all of the potential risks of using or accessing the Site and the Services.
Although we intend to provide accurate and timely information on the Site, the Site and other information available when using the Site may not always be entirely accurate, complete, or current and may also include technical inaccuracies or typographical errors. To continue to provide you with as complete and accurate information as possible, information may be changed or updated from time to time without notice, including, without limitation, information regarding our policies. Accordingly, you should verify all information before relying on it, and all decisions based on information contained on the Site are your sole responsibility. No representation is made as to the accuracy, completeness, or appropriateness for any particular purpose of any information distributed via the Site. Information such as prices and pricing information may be higher or lower than prices available on platforms providing similar services.
Any use or interaction with the Site requires a comprehensive understanding of applied cryptography and computer science to appreciate the inherent risks, including those listed above. You represent and warrant that you possess relevant knowledge and skills to properly utilize the Services. Any reference to a Crypto Asset on the Site does not indicate our approval or disapproval of the technology on which the Crypto Asset relies, and should not be used as a substitute for your understanding of the risks specific to each type of Crypto Asset.
Blockchain-based transactions entered into through the Site are irreversible, final and there are no refunds. You acknowledge and agree that you will access and use the Site at your own risk. The risk of loss in transacting in Crypto Assets can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such activity is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. By using or accessing the Site, you represent and warrant that you have been, are, and will be solely responsible for making your independent appraisal and investigations into the risks of a given transaction and the underlying Crypto Assets. You represent that you have sufficient knowledge, market sophistication, professional advice, and experience to make your evaluation of the merits and risks of any transaction conducted in connection with the Site or any Crypto Asset. You accept all consequences of using the Site, including the risk that you may lose access to your Crypto Assets indefinitely. All decisions involving your use of the Services are made solely by you. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms, we accept no responsibility whatsoever for, and will in no circumstances be liable to you in connection with your use of the Site.
We must comply with Applicable Law, which may require us to, upon request by government agencies, take certain actions or provide information, including personally identifiable information or information related to your usage of the Services.
You understand that our Site remains under development, which creates technological, operational, and other risks when using or accessing the Site. These risks include, among others, delays in the creation or redemption of the Crypto Asset resulting from the servers of Battery Labs being offline, or an incorrect display of information on the Site in the case of server errors. You acknowledge that these risks may have a material impact on your usage of the Services, which may result in, among other things, a failure to fulfill the requested Services.
You hereby acknowledge and agree that Battery Labs will have no responsibility or liability for the risks set forth in this Section 7. You hereby irrevocably waive, release and discharge all claims, whether known or unknown to you, against Battery Labs, its affiliates, and their respective shareholders, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives, suppliers, and contractors related to any of the risks set forth in this Section 7.
Digital assets currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in the United States and many foreign jurisdictions. One or more jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect digital asset networks and their users. Such laws, regulations or directives may impact the price of digital assets and their acceptance by users, merchants and service providers. Battery Labs has no control over these regulatory changes and or the impact they may have on users.

Neither these Terms (nor your access to the Site) transfers to you or any third party any rights, title or interest in or to such intellectual property rights, except for the limited access rights expressly set forth in these Terms. Battery Labs reserves all rights not granted in these Terms. There are no implied licenses granted under these Terms.
User Content. "User Content" means any and all information and content that a User submits to, or uses with, the Site (e.g., profile picture). You are solely responsible for your User Content. You assume all risks associated with use of your User Content, including any reliance on its accuracy, completeness or usefulness by others, or any disclosure of your User Content that personally identifies you or any third party. You hereby represent and warrant that your User Content does not violate our Acceptable Use Policy (defined in Section 9.2). You may not represent or imply to others that your User Content is in any way provided, sponsored or endorsed by Battery Labs. Because you alone are responsible for your User Content, you may expose yourself to liability if, for example, your User Content violates the Acceptable Use Policy. Battery Labs is not obligated to backup any User Content, and your User Content may be deleted at any time without prior notice. You are solely responsible for creating and maintaining your own backup copies of your User Content if you desire.

We reserve the right (but have no obligation) to review any User Content, and to investigate and/or take appropriate action against you in our sole discretion if you violate the Acceptable Use Policy or any other provision of these Terms or otherwise create liability for us or any other person. Such action may include restricting your access to the Site and/or reporting you to law enforcement authorities.

Battery Labs reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate with our defense of these claims. You agree not to settle any matter without the prior written consent of Battery Labs. Battery Labs will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action or proceeding upon becoming aware of it.

IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU HEREBY WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, WHICH STATES: "A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR."

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE NOT RELYING ON BATTERY LABS IN MAKING ANY DECISIONS TO USE THE SITE OR THE SERVICES. BATTERY LABS DOES NOT ENDORSE ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY AND SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR ANY TRANSACTIONS YOU ENTER INTO WITH OTHER USERS. YOU AGREE THAT BATTERY LABS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES OF ANY SORT INCURRED AS THE RESULT OF ANY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN YOU AND OTHER FOUNDERS. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BATTERY LABS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA, OR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, EVEN IF BATTERY LABS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

THE EXISTENCE OF MORE THAN ONE CLAIM WILL NOT ENLARGE THIS LIMIT. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
Subject to this Section, these Terms will remain in full force and effect while you use the Site. We may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Site at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the Site in violation of these Terms. Upon termination of your rights under these Terms, your right to access and use the Site will terminate immediately.

Even after your rights under these Terms are terminated, the following provisions of these Terms will remain in effect: Sections 3.2 through 6, and Sections 4 through 8 and Sections 10 through 11.
Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Battery Labs and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) between Battery Labs and any User or Registered User that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Battery Labs, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.
Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (" Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Battery Labs should be sent to the address set forth in Section 23. After the Notice is received, you and Battery Labs may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Battery Labs do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.
Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (" AAA"), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (" ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (" Arbitration Rules") governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the United States, the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that Battery Labs made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, Battery Labs will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney's fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Time Limits. If you or Battery Labs pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.
Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Battery Labs, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Battery Labs.
Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Battery Labs in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND BATTERY LABS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.
Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Battery Labs.
Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Battery Labs may bring an individual action in small claims court.
Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a court of competent jurisdiction in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
