15. Agreement to Arbitrate; Class Action Waiver

This Section (i.e., the “Agreement to Arbitrate”) applies to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If the laws of your jurisdiction prohibit the application of provisions of this Section Agreement to Arbitrate notwithstanding Section Applicable Law below, those prohibited provisions will not apply to you.

In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, termination or breach thereof, or your use of Rally Games Services or any related services, the parties hereto shall consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a satisfactory solution. Most user concerns can be resolved by contacting our customer support team at support@rally-games.com. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve your concerns and a dispute remains, this Section explains how you and we agree to resolve it. As explained in more detail below, we each agree to resolve any dispute between us through binding arbitration or small claims court instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.

If we cannot resolve our dispute through customer support, you and we agree to resolve all disputes and claims between us in individual binding arbitration, including claims concerning any aspect of the relationship between us, your decision to download Rally Games Services, your use of Rally Games Services, any user content, or your account. This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly, and applies to all legal claims under any legal theory (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory), and applies to any disputes or claims that you assert or that arise even after you stop using or delete your account for Rally Games Services, stop using Rally Games Services, or delete Rally Games Services application from your mobile device. This Agreement to Arbitrate also applies to any claims that are currently the subject of a purported class action litigation in which you are not a member of a certified class. You and we agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the terms or formation of this contract, including whether any dispute between us is subject to this Agreement to Arbitrate (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.

An arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court, and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules than court proceedings, and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. You understand that you and we are giving up the right to sue in court and the right to have a trial before a judge or jury.

This Section Agreement to Arbitrate, however, does not apply to the following types of claims or disputes, which you or we may bring in court in accordance with Section Applicable Law below:

(1) claims of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, including such claims seeking injunctive relief; and

(2) claims for preliminary injunctive relief for violations of sections No Transfer and Code of Conduct herein.

This Section does not prevent you from bringing your dispute to the attention of any federal, state, or local government agencies that can, if the law allows, seek relief from us for you. Also, any of us can bring a claim in small claims court either in Santa Clara County, California or the county where you live, or some other place we both agree on, if such claims meets all the requirements to be brought in that court.

The Federal Arbitration Act applies to this Section Agreement to Arbitrate. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (including Rule 1(g) of those Rules that provides for arbitration through the submission of documents only/desk arbitration where no disclosed claims or counterclaims exceed $25,000), as modified by these Terms of Use. The Rules are available at http://www.adr.org. The arbitrator will be bound by these Terms of Use.

To start an arbitration proceeding, use the form on AAA’s website (www.adr.org) or call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.

Any arbitration under this section that is required to take place in person will take place pursuant to the Rules, which provide that face-to-face proceedings be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.

FOR NON-US USERS:

In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, including any question regarding its existence, validity, termination or breach thereof, the parties hereto shall consult and negotiate with each other and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a satisfactory solution. If they do not reach settlement within a period of 60 days, then, upon notice by any party to the other(s), any unresolved controversy or claim shall be settled by arbitration administered by the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (“ICDR”) (www.icdr.org) in accordance with the provisions of its International Arbitration Rules. The place of arbitration shall be in London, England. The number of arbitrators shall be one. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of Rally Games. The European Union also operates an online dispute resolution platform which can be found at www.ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.

CLASS ACTION WAIVER

For disputes arising between Rally Games and you, or any other user, that are subject to this Agreement to Arbitrate, you and we agree that we can only bring a claim against each other on an individual basis. Neither you nor we can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s claim into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class, or representative arbitration proceeding, unless we both agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s case can only affect the person who brought the claim, not other users of Rally Games Services, and cannot be used to decide disputes with others.

If a court decides that this “Class Action Waiver” subsection is not enforceable or is invalid, then Section Agreement to Arbitrate shall cease to have effect, however, the remaining portions of the Terms and Conditions will remain in full force and effect.

You understand that you would have had a right to litigate through a court, to have a judge or jury decide your case and to be party to a class or representative action. However, you understand and choose to have any claims decided individually and only through arbitration. 

16. Applicable Law

You agree that these Terms of Use shall be deemed to have been made and executed in the State of California, U.S.A. and that any dispute arising under the Terms of Use, as well as any other dispute or claim that may arise between you and us, shall be governed by and resolved in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions or principals.

For claims not required to be arbitrated under Section Agreement to Arbitrate, or in the event the arbitration provision in Section Agreement to Arbitrate is deemed unenforceable or voided, you agree that any claim asserted in any legal proceeding by you against us shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California having subject matter jurisdiction with respect to the dispute between the parties and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts. In any dispute arising between us, the prevailing party will be entitled to attorneys’ fees and expenses.

17. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Rally Games and its subsidiaries, agents, licensors, managers, and other affiliated companies, and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from: (i) your use of and access to the Service, including any data or content transmitted or received by you; (ii) your violation of any term of this Agreement, including without limitation your breach of any of the representations and warranties above; (iii) your violation of any third-party right, including without limitation any right of privacy or Intellectual Property Rights; (iv) your violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) User Content or any content that is submitted via your account including without limitation misleading, false, or inaccurate information; (vi) your willful misconduct; or (vii) any other party's access and use of the Service with your unique username, password or other appropriate security code.

Federal law, some states, provinces and other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion and limitations of certain implied warranties, so the above exclusions may not apply to you. This agreement gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. The disclaimers and exclusions under this Agreement will not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

19. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Notice

Rally Games responds to allegations of copyright violations in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

On receiving a valid Counter Notice, we generally restore the content in question, unless we receive notice from the notification provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity.

Please note: The DMCA provides that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you falsely claim that content is infringing your copyright.
