DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Except as otherwise provided below, the parties will attempt to resolve all disputes, controversies, or claims arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement, including the formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, of this Agreement and the arbitrability of the issues submitted to arbitration hereunder and non-contractual claims relating to this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section.

Binding Arbitration. If any Dispute cannot be resolved informally through negotiations between the parties within 30 days of notice from one party to the other of the Dispute, then at the request of either party such Dispute will be finally settled through binding confidential arbitration under the arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect (the “Rules”). Either party may commence the arbitration by delivering a request for arbitration as specified in the Rules, and the commencing party shall be responsible for the filing fees associated with commencing arbitration.  The arbitration will be conducted before a sole neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties.  If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator within 30 days (the “Initial Period”) after either party to this Agreement delivers a request for arbitration, a neutral arbitrator will be selected as provided in the Rules.  The arbitration will be conducted exclusively in English at a site specified by Grouper in Boston, Massachusetts. The award of the arbitrator will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the arbitrator.  Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court or governmental body having jurisdiction thereof.  Any additional costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the award may be charged against the party that resists its enforcement. 

Exception to Binding Arbitration.  Notwithstanding the requirement to engage in binding confidential arbitration, you agree that if you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Grouper’s intellectual property rights, Grouper may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  You consent to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such state or federal court for any such action or lawsuit and waive your right to object to the personal jurisdiction or venue.

Waiver of Collective Action. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL PURSUE ANY CLAIM OR SUIT RELATED TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PLATFORM, CONTENT, OR OFFERINGS, OR YOUR USE THEREOF, AS AN INDIVIDUAL, AND WILL NOT LEAD, JOIN, OR SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS OR GROUP OF PERSONS BRINGING SUCH A CLAIM OR SUIT.

Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES DESIRE TO AVOID THE TIME AND EXPENSE RELATING TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES, FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, FREELY, AND VOLUNTARILY GIVEN, IS DESIRED BY BOTH PARTIES AND IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF BOTH PARTIES. 

GOVERNING LAW. The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, during any negotiations or arbitrations, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts without regard to any choice or conflict of laws rules.

NOTICES. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, any notices required or allowed under this Agreement will be provided to Grouper by postal mail to the address for Grouper listed on its website. Grouper may provide you with any notices required or allowed under this Agreement by sending you an email to any email address you provide to Grouper in connection with your Account or by notifying you by mail at the address you provide, provided that in the case of any notice applicable both to you and other Members of the Platform, Grouper may instead provide such notice by posting the notice on the Platform. 

FORCE MAJEURE. Grouper will not be responsible for failure or delay in the performance of any obligation under this Agreement to the extent such failure or delay is due to acts of God or governmental authority, war, terrorism, strikes, boycotts, quarantine, pandemic, labor disputes, fire or other loss of facilities, accident, or any other event beyond its control.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement will exclusively govern your access to and use of the Platform and Offerings, is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties, and supersedes any oral or written proposal, agreement or other communication between the parties, regarding your access to and use of the Platform and Offerings. Grouper may, in its sole discretion, modify this Agreement from time to time.  Grouper will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide notice of any material modifications to this Agreement, which may include information provided to you directly or to all Members by posting such information through the Platform, including for example on Grouper’s website.  Your continued access to the Platform or Offerings following that notice constitutes your acceptance of, and agreement to be bound by, any modified Agreement. 

ASSIGNMENT AND TRANSFER. This Agreement is personal to you and you may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement. Grouper may assign or transfer this Agreement in its sole discretion, including to any successor in interest.  You consent and agree that we may also transfer any part of Your Information in connection with such assignment or transfer by us.

ADDITIONAL TERMS.  Terms used in this Agreement have the definitions given in this Agreement or, if not defined in this Agreement, have their plain English meaning.  The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other or joint venturers, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other.  Any waiver or failure by Grouper to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver by Grouper of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with the law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force.  Grouper may reference you as a user of the Platform and use your name, image, likeness in listings of users of the Platform or Offerings and for other marketing and promotional purposes relating to the Platform, Offerings, or Content.  No term of this Agreement will be construed to confer any third party beneficiary rights on any non-party.  Each and every right and remedy hereunder is cumulative with each and every other right and remedy herein or in any other agreement between the parties or under applicable law.
