15. US Government Rights . The Application is commercial computer software and commercial computer software documentation, as such terms are defined in 48 C.F.R. §2.101. Accordingly, if you are an agency of the US Government or any contractor therefor, you receive only those rights with respect to the Application as are granted to all other end users under license, in accordance with (i) 48 C.F.R. §227.7201 through 48 C.F.R. §227.7204, with respect to the Department of Defense and their contractors, or (ii) 48 C.F.R. §12.212, with respect to all other US Government licensees and their contractors.
16. Binding Arbitration . You and Sling Media hereby agree to submit any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, issue, or request for relief to binding arbitration rather than by filing any lawsuit in any other forum. Arbitration means that any dispute will be decided by an independent arbitrator, and will not be decided in court by a judge or jury. The applicable procedures may be different from procedures followed by a court. In arbitration, there is no right to a jury trial, discovery may be limited, and the grounds for seeking appeal or judicial review of the arbitrator’s award are limited. All arbitration proceedings are final and binding. An arbitrator must honor the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent that any court would. This arbitration clause will survive termination of this Agreement. This section is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to your use of the Application. Any dispute or claim made by you against us or by us against you arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of the Application (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration. If our claim or dispute is related to your use of the Application against this Agreement, then we may seek injunctive relief to prevent such use before entering arbitration.
To use the arbitration process, you must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting us at (877) 940-2365 to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. We must first present any claim or dispute to you by contacting you at your email address that we have in our records. If either your or our claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days, then, you may request arbitration for such claim or dispute by sending written notice to Sling Media L.L.C. 100 Inverness Terrace East, Englewood, Colorado 80112, Attention: Office of the General Counsel. We will request arbitration by emailing you at your email address that we have in our records. The arbitration of any dispute or claim will be conducted in accordance with the then-current and applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association as modified by this Agreement. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. Arbitration will take place in either the county in which you are a registered resident or, at your request, in Denver, Colorado, and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this Agreement provides, order consolidation, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. However, if the arbitrator enters an award in your favor, you shall be entitled to an award of any reasonable attorney’s fees or other reasonable costs and expenses you incur in the arbitration; provided that, if the settlement or award in your favor is equal to or less than the amount of a written settlement offer made by us prior to selection of the arbitrator(s), you shall only be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney’s fees or other reasonable costs and expenses you incurred up to the date of that written settlement offer. The foregoing right to an award of fees, costs, and expenses is in addition to, and does not limit, any such right you may have under the applicable law governing your claim. In any arbitration applying those rules applicable to large/complex cases, the arbitrators must also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the selected arbitrator’s rules. Any arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement or appeal of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then all remaining portions of this arbitration clause shall still be given full force and effect.
Payment of a filing fee is required to commence an arbitration. If you commence an arbitration against us pursuant to this Binding Arbitration clause, and the claim seeks $10,000 or less, we will, at your written request, pay the filing fee directly to the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) or, if you have already paid it, promptly reimburse you for the amount of the filing fee. In addition, for any arbitration initiated in accordance with this Binding Arbitration provision which does not exceed $10,000, we will also pay all other arbitration fees and expenses imposed by the AAA, including administration and arbitrator fees. However, if the arbitrator finds your claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then we may seek reimbursement of any AAA fees and expenses we have paid on your behalf. For any arbitration involving claim(s) for more than $10,000, payment of fees and costs shall be governed by the applicable AAA rules.
17. Limitation of Time to File Claims . ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE APPLICATION MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
18. Class Action Waiver . TO THE EXTENT ENFORCEABLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU, US, NOR ANY ARBITRATOR MAY IN ANY WAY JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, ISSUE, OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF THAT YOU OR WE MAKE UNDER SECTION 16 (ABOVE) OR THAT RELATES TO THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY CLAIM, DISPUTE, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, ISSUE, OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF MADE BY ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY.
19. Entire Agreement . This Agreement, our Privacy Policy and all documents incorporated herein by reference, constitute the entire agreement between you and Sling Media with respect to the Application, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the Application. For the avoidance of doubt, if you choose to utilize our Website or any other Content and Services other than the Application, you will be bound by any applicable agreements provided therein.
20. Waiver; Severability . Our failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, or any power hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, or power hereunder preclude our further exercise of that or any other right hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
