  13. Binding Individual Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.

    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

    Most issues can be resolved quickly and amicably by contacting Maximum Games customer support at https://modusgames.com/support/. But we understand that sometimes disputes can’t be easily resolved by customer support. This Section explains how you and Maximum Games agree to resolve those disputes, including (where applicable) by binding, individual arbitration.

    Arbitration is an alternative dispute-resolution procedure that allows us to resolve issues without the formality of going to court. Any dispute between you and Maximum Games is submitted to a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury) for fair and fast resolution. Arbitration is more efficient for both you and Maximum Games.
    • Informal Resolution.  If you have an issue that our customer support can’t resolve, prior to starting arbitration You and Maximum Games agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally to help get us to a resolution and control costs for both parties. You and Maximum Games agree to make a good-faith effort to negotiate any dispute between us for at least 30 days (“Informal Resolution”). Those informal negotiations will start on the day you or Maximum Games receive a written Notice of a Dispute in accordance with this Agreement.

      You will send your Notice of Dispute to Maximum Games, Inc., Legal Department, 590 Ygnacio Valley Road Suite 220, Walnut Creek CA 94596. Include your name, account name you use while playing the game, address, how to contact you, what the problem is, and what you want Maximum Games to do. If Maximum Games has a dispute with You, Maximum Games will send our Notice of Dispute to your registered email address and any billing address you have provided us.

      If you reside in the European Union (“EU”), You may also be entitled to submit your complaint to the European Commission’s Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) Platform. ODR allows EU consumers to resolve disputes related to the online purchases of goods and services without going to court.

      If the dispute isn’t resolved within by Informal Resolution or small-claims court (below), you or Maximum Games may start an arbitration in accordance with this Agreement.
    • Small Claims Court. Instead of using Informal Resolution, you and Maximum Games agree that you may sue us in small-claims court in your choice of the county where you live or Contra Costa County in California (if you meet the requirements of small-claims court). We hope you’ll try Informal Resolution first, but you don’t have to before going to small-claims court.
    • Binding Individual Arbitration. THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS IN THIS SECTION WILL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY.

      You and Maximum Games agree that Disputes will be settled by binding individual arbitration conducted by the Judicial Arbitration Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) subject to the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and according to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”) as modified by this Agreement.

      This means that you and Maximum Games agree to a dispute-resolution process where we submit any Dispute to a neutral arbitrator (not a judge or jury) that makes the final decision to resolve the Dispute. JAMS uses experienced professionals to arbitrate disputes, which helps You and Maximum Games resolve any disputes fairly, but more quickly and efficiently than going to court. The arbitrator may award the same remedies to you individually as a court could, but only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim.

      The arbitrator’s decision is final, except for a limited review by courts under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, and can enforced like any other court order or judgment.
      1. Disputes We Agree to Arbitrate

        You and Maximum Games agree to submit all Disputes between you and Maximum Games to individual binding arbitration. “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy (except those specifically exempted below) between You and Maximum Games that relates to your use or attempted use of Maximum Games’ products or services and Maximum Games’ products and services generally, including without limitation the validity, enforceability, or scope of this Binding Individual Arbitration section.

        You and Maximum Games agree to arbitrate all Disputes regardless of whether the Dispute is based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), or any other legal or equitable theory.

        The Informal Resolution and Arbitration sections do not apply to (1) individual actions in small-claims court; (2) pursuit of enforcement actions through a government agency if the law allows; (3) a complaint or remedy under the EU General Data Protection Regulation; (4) an action to compel or uphold any prior arbitration decision; (5) Maximum Games’ right to seek injunctive relief against You in a court of law to preserve the status quo while an arbitration proceeds; (6) claims of piracy, creation, distribution, or promotion of Cheats, and intellectual-property infringement, and (7) the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause below.

        You and Maximum Games agree that whether a dispute is subject to arbitration under this Agreement will be determined by the arbitrator rather than a court.
      2. Arbitration Procedure

        To start an arbitration, review the JAMS Rules and follow the instructions for initiating an arbitration on the JAMS The party starting an arbitration must send JAMS a “Demand for Arbitration” (available on its website), pay a filing fee, and mail a copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the opposing party. You will send a copy to Maximum Games, Inc., Legal Department, 590 Ygnacio Valley Road Suite 220, Walnut Creek CA 94596, U.S.A. Maximum Games will send our copy to your registered email address and any billing address you have provided us.

        The arbitration will be conducted by a single JAMS arbitrator selected with substantial experience in resolving intellectual-property and commercial-contract disputes. You and Maximum Games both agree that the arbitration will be conducted in the English language and that the arbitrator will be bound by this Agreement.

        If an in-person hearing is required, the hearing will take place either in Contra Costa County in California, or where you reside; you choose.

        The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and Maximum Games agree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating the decision of each claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator’s essential factual and legal findings and conclusions.

        The arbitrator may only award legal or equitable remedies that are requested by you or Maximum Games to satisfy one of our individual claims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence). The arbitrator may not award relief against Maximum Games respecting any person other than you.

        Any decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement.
      3. Arbitration Fees and Location

        If you start the arbitration, you must pay the JAMS filing fee required for consumer arbitrations.

        In some situations, Maximum Games will help with your fees to (hopefully) get us to a resolution quickly and fairly:

        If the Dispute involves $10,000 or less, Maximum Games will pay all of the JAMS costs, including the fees you otherwise would have been required to pay.

        If the above doesn’t apply to You, but You demonstrate that arbitration costs will be prohibitive compared to litigation costs, Maximum Games will pay as much of your JAMS costs as the arbitrator finds is necessary to prevent arbitration from being cost-prohibitive (as compared to the cost of litigation).

        Even if Maximum Games wins the arbitration and the applicable law or the JAMS Rules allow Maximum Games to seek our portion of the JAMS fees from you, we won’t.

        The fee assistance offered above is contingent upon You bringing the arbitration claim in “good faith.” If the arbitrator finds You brought an arbitration claim against Maximum Games for an improper purpose, frivolously, or without a sufficient pre-claim investigation into the facts or applicable law, then the payment of all fees will be governed by the JAMS rules.

        JAMS costs do not include your Attorneys’ fees and costs and Attorneys’ fees and JAMS costs are not counted when determining how much a dispute involves.

        Maximum Games won’t seek our attorneys’ fees or expenses from you in any arbitration, even if the law or the JAMS rules entitle us to do so. If you choose to be represented by an attorney, you will pay your own attorneys’ fees and costs unless the applicable law provides otherwise.
      4. Notice and Filing. If a Dispute must be arbitrated, you or Maximum Games must start arbitration of the Dispute within two (2) years from when the Dispute first arose. If applicable law requires you to bring a claim for a Dispute sooner than two years after the Dispute first arose, you must start arbitration in that earlier time period. Maximum Games encourages you to tell us about a Dispute as soon as possible so we can work to resolve it. The failure to provide timely notice shall bar all claims.
      5. Continuation in Effect. This Binding Individual Arbitration section survives any termination of this Agreement or Maximum Games’ provision of services to you.
      6. Future Arbitration ChangesAlthough Maximum Games may revise this Agreement in its discretion, Maximum Games does not have the right to alter this agreement to arbitrate or the rules specified herein with respect to any Dispute once that Dispute arises.
    • Class Action Waiver.

      Unless you live in the European Union or expect where otherwise prohibited by your local law, You and Maximum Games agree to only bring Disputes in an individual capacity and shall not:

       - seek to bring, join, or participate in any class or representative action, collective or class-wide arbitration, or any other action where another individual or entity acts in a representative capacity (e.g., private attorney general actions); or

       - consolidate or combine individual proceedings or permit an arbitrator to do so without the express consent of all parties to this Agreement and all other actions or arbitrations.


    • If all or any provision of this Binding Individual Arbitration agreement is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then You and Maximum Games agree that the provision will be severed and the rest of the agreement shall remain in effect and be construed as if any severed provision had not been included. The sole exception is that if the Class Action Waiver is found invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, you and Maximum Games agree that it will not be severable; this entire Binding Individual Arbitration section will be void and unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in court subject to the venue and choice of clauses specified in this Agreement. Under no circumstances shall arbitration be conducted on a class basis without Maximum Games’ express consent.

To exercise this right, you must send written notice of your decision to the following address: Maximum Games, Inc., Attn Legal Department, 590 Ygnacio Valley Road Suite 220, Walnut Creek CA 94596 U.S.A.
