10. Dispute Resolution
This section contains agreements regarding how Client and Plus1 will resolve disputes between Client, including a clause mandating Arbitration in any dispute, and a clause waiving Client's rights to pursue a class action against Plus1, or a class arbitration against Plus1.
 

10.1. Arbitration
Client and Plus1 each agree to submit to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute, controversy or claim (each, a "Claim") arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, Client's or Plus1's rights and obligations under these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, the applications or services, or the use of the applications or services.
To the extent Client have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Plus1's intellectual property rights, however, Plus1 may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in Taiwan New Taipei District Court, and Client consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
The arbitration will be held in the Taiwan New Taipei District Court before one arbitrator on an individual basis and not as a class action. Client expressly waives any right Client may have to arbitrate a dispute as a class action. Client also expressly waives Client's right to a jury trial. Client may select one of the following arbitration organizations and its applicable rules: the National Arbitration Forum, Box 50191, Minneapolis, MN 55405-0191 (www.arb-forum.com), or JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center Suite 1100 San Francisco, CA 94111 (www.jamsadr.com).
If Client fails to select an arbitration organization within 30 days after notice from Plus1, Plus1 may select the organization. Client may obtain a copy of the rules of each organization by contacting the organization. In the event that any Claim cannot be submitted to binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of any such organization, such event shall not affect the enforceability of this clause so long as the Claim may be submitted to binding arbitration with one of the organizations. Client and Plus1 shall agree on one arbitrator to conduct the arbitration and the arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the applicable rules. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorney, expert and other fees, unless such fees are awarded by the arbitrator to the prevailing party.
 

10.2. Arbitration Final
The arbitrator's award is final and binding on all parties. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.), and not any state law concerning arbitration, governs all arbitration under this clause. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitrator's award. If any part of this clause, other than waivers of class action rights, is deemed or found to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder shall remain enforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the waiver of class action rights contained herein is not enforceable as to any person or persons, the provisions of Section 11.2 of these Terms of Use shall apply to such person or persons only, and all other persons shall continue to be governed by the Arbitration Clause.
 

10.3. No Class Action
These Terms of Use provide that all Claims will be resolved by binding arbitration and not in court or by jury trial. IF A CLAIM IS ARBITRATED, CLIENT GIVE UP CLIENT'S RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS MEMBER ON ANY CLASS CLAIM CLIENT MAY HAVE AGAINST THE COMPANY INCLUDING ANY RIGHT TO CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CONSOLIDATION OF INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATIONS. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THIS INCLUDES GIVING UP CLIENT'S RIGHTS TO BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN ANY STATE STATUTE.

THERE ARE NO CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS AGREEMENT, OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
 

11.2. Choice of Law, Forum, and Venue
THE LAWS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES, GOVERN ALL MATTERS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS IT CONTEMPLETES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION, PERFORMANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT.
Client have agreed in Section 10 to submit to binding arbitration. However, if Section 10 is found not to have legal affect by any court with jurisdiction over this agreement, jurisdiction over actions arising out of or related to this Agreement, and jurisdiction over Plus1, then if Client bring a legal action or proceeding against Plus1 arising out of or related to this Agreement, Client agrees that Client may only bring such action or proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, or in any court of the District of Columbia.
 

11.3. Severability and Waiver
Plus1's failure to exercise or enforce any right granted in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

11.6. Claim Time Limitation
