In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you hereby release Startup Networks, its officers, employees, agents and successors in rights from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and/or the Startup Networks Services.
With Startup Networks
Law and Jurisdiction. All questions of law, rights, and remedies regarding any act, event or occurrence undertaken pursuant or relating to this Website or the Startup Networks Services shall be governed and construed by the law of the State of New South Wales, Australia. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located in New South Wales, Australia, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in New South Wales, Australia. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Website and/or the Startup Networks Service (including your visit to or use of the Website and/or the Startup Networks Service) be instituted more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose.
Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to Startup Networks are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Startup Networks and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that Startup Networks shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you, and such relief may be sought in the courts of any jurisdiction. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).
Negotiation. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Startup Networks agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send your notice to Startup Networks at the address listed below.
Binding Arbitration. If you and Startup Networks are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or Startup Networks may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Startup Networks will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Startup Networks may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. Except where otherwise required by the AAA Consumer Rules, arbitration shall take place in Sydney, Australia.
Restrictions. You and Startup Networks agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Startup Networks and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Startup Networks agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Startup Networks’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
Severable. If any arbitration provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Startup Networks will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within New South Wales, Australia, and you and Startup Networks agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
