8.2 Dispute Resolution. Please read this Arbitration Agreement carefully. It is part of your contract with Company and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
(a)
Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. All claims and disputes
(excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as
set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any
product or service provided by the Company that cannot be
resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved
by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of
this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all
arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This
Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Company, and to any
subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in
interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or
unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods
provided under the Terms.
(b) Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution. Before
either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to
the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”)
describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the
requested relief. A Notice to the Company should be sent via
email to support@hyperdart.com. After the Notice is received, you
and the Company may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute
informally. If you and the Company do not resolve the claim or
dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received,
either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of
any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to
the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the
amount of the award, if any, to which either party is
entitled.
(c) Arbitration Rules. Arbitration shall be initiated through
the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established
alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that
offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not
available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an
alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall
govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited
to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except
to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA
Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the
arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling
the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by
a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the
total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S.
Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding
non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party
seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of
the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or
more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the
Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within
100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the
United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you
reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the
parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any
oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is
greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to
you prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay
you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear
its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements
arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of
the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.
(d) Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration. If
non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration
shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on
written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the
party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not
involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses
unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
(e) Time Limits. If you or the Company pursue arbitration, the
arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the
statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a
claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for
the pertinent claim.
(f) Authority of Arbitrator. If arbitration is initiated, the
arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of
you and the Company, and the dispute will not be consolidated
with any other matters or joined with any other cases or
parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant
motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator
shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant
any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual
under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The
arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision
describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the
award is based, including the calculation of any damages
awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief
on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would
have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you
and the Company.
(g) Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A
TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all
claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this
Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more
limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in
a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In
the event any litigation should arise between you and the
Company in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or
enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY
WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the
dispute be resolved by a judge.
(h) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND
DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE
ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A
CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT
BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF
ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
(i) Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding,
including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and
compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The
parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise
required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from
submitting to a court of law any information necessary to
enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to
seek injunctive or equitable relief.
(j) Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration
Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable
by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or
parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and
the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and
effect.
(k) Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set
forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party
against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive
or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.
(l) Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will
survive the termination of your relationship with Company.
(m) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either
you or the Company may bring an individual action in small
claims court.
(n) Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state
or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending
arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed
a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this
Arbitration Agreement.
(o) Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud
and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other
party’s patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not
be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.
(p) Courts. In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration
Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties
hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the
courts located within Santa Clara County, California, for such
purpose

The foregoing does not affect your non-waivable rights.
8.6 Entire Terms. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Site.
