Dispute Resolution

Resolving Disputes

You agree that in the event of a dispute between you and RainyGames or RainyGames’ affiliates, third-party developers, or partners, you will make a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days before initiating arbitration (as provided below). This informal, good faith negotiation will commence upon receipt of written notice from you, provided also that your notice includes your full name and address (as the complaining party); the nature and basis of your claim or dispute sufficiently detailed; and the specific relief you seek.

Binding Arbitration

To facilitate dispute resolution and minimize related costs, in the event good faith negotiations fail after the expiration of the 60-day period, as provided in the prior paragraph, you agree that any disputes or claims that you may have against RainyGames or RainyGames’ affiliates, third-party developers, or partners will be (except as stated below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Specifically, the parties each agree that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its interpretation, formation, performance, and breach), the parties' relationship with each other and/or your use of the Product shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules or Streamlined Arbitrations Rules, as appropriate, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.

The above arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA") shall apply to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, and formation of this Agreement notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including without limitation any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The JAMS Rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at http://www.jamsadr.com/. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, but will not incorporate the JAMS Class Action Procedures, and, to the extent applicable, the Consumer Minimum Standards, including the then-current limit on arbitration filing fees.

Further, you understand and agree that regardless of the country or state in which you live, arbitration will take place in Travis County, Texas, and the parties each agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Travis County, Texas, to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Class Action Waiver

The parties agree that any arbitration related to this Agreement will be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties each expressly waive any right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. This means you can only bring a claim against RainyGames or RainyGames’ affiliates, representatives, employees, and directors in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Exception

Notwithstanding the parties’ mutual decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court that only asserts claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation, but not, for clarity, claims related to the license granted to you for the Game under this Agreement. Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.

Changes

RainyGames agrees to provide 60-days’ notice of any changes to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement. Changes will become effective on the 60th day and will only apply prospectively to any claims arising after the 60th day.

Waiver of Jury Trial

The parties waive the right to a jury trial in any action arising out of or related to this Agreement.

Governing Law

This Agreement has been entered in the State of Texas and shall be construed and enforced under and is subject to applicable US federal law and the law of the State of Texas without regard to said state’s conflict of laws provisions. Choice of Forum and Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. Any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement which must be tried in court shall be resolved in the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas and the parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction and service of process of such courts.

Costs, Fees, and Expenses

Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, in any action or proceeding by a party to enforce any of the provisions hereof, the prevailing party shall, in addition to any other award of damages or other remedy, be entitled to recover reasonable costs, fees, and expenses including attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such enforcement, including any appeal.

Equitable Relief

Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent RainyGames from bringing an action for equitable or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel you to comply with your obligations under this Agreement.

General Provisions

Entire Agreement

This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties relating to the subject matter, and this Agreement supersedes all prior representations, writings, negotiations, or understandings with respect hereto.

Changes to this Agreement

RainyGames may revise this Agreement from time to time at our sole discretion. Any such changes will not be retroactive. By continuing to participate in the Test after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Agreement.

No Waiver

No waiver by RainyGames of a breach or default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding, continuing, or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision.

Severability

If any provision in this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision shall be severed, and the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired.
