20.1 Negotiation
If a dispute arises between you and Octave-X, we encourage you to contact us directly to seek a resolution by emailing info@octave-x.com. We will attempt to resolve the dispute through negotiation and good faith discussions.
20.2 Arbitration
If the dispute cannot be resolved through negotiation, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in Dover, Delaware, United States, and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
20.3 Waiver of Jury Trial
You and Octave-X hereby waive any constitutional and statutory rights to sue in court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. You and Octave-X are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Section 20, except as otherwise provided in this Section 20. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow these Terms as a court would.
20.4 Class Action Waiver
All claims and disputes within the scope of this arbitration agreement must be arbitrated on an individual basis and not on a class or collective basis. Only individual relief is available, and claims of more than one customer or user cannot be arbitrated or consolidated with those of any other customer or user. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in Dover, Delaware. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
21. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render these Terms unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and such provisions shall be deleted without affecting the remaining provisions herein.
22. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices and disclaimers published by us on the Site, constitute the entire agreement between you and Octave-X regarding your use of the Site and Services, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the same.
23. Waiver
No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Octave-X's failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
