We reserve the right to have all violators prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

 11. DISPUTES.

We are committed to user satisfaction, so if you have a problem or dispute, we will try to resolve your concerns. If we are unsuccessful, you may pursue Claims as explained and defined in this section. You agree to give us an opportunity to resolve any disputes or Claims relating to the Website, these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy, or our Cookie Policy (“Claims”) by sending an email to info@CoalitionForDigitalIdentity.org the details of your Claim(s). If we are unable to resolve your Claims within 60 days of receiving your email, you may seek relief through arbitration or in small Claims court, as set forth below.

Any and all Claims, except for those described in the following paragraph, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except you may assert Claims on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify. This includes any Claims you assert against us, our parents, or our subsidiaries, which are beneficiaries of this arbitration agreement. This also includes any Claims that arose before you accepted these Terms of Use, regardless of whether prior versions of the Term of Use required arbitration.

Equitable remedies or injunctive relief (including appropriate restraining orders and injunctions) may be sought and obtained by us from a court of competent jurisdiction. However, all other disputes or Claims arising out of or under any of the terms of these Terms of Use shall be determined exclusively by mandatory, binding arbitration.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including statutory damages, attorneys’ fees and costs), and must follow and enforce these Terms of Use as a court would.

Arbitrations will be conducted by the JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS’ rules, except as provided in this section. If your total Claims seek less than $10,000, we will reimburse you for filing fees you pay to the JAMS and will pay arbitrator’s fees. You may choose to have an arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the state where you live or at another mutually agreed location.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Claims to Attention: Legal at Web3 ID Coalition, Inc. 1455 Pennsylvania NW #400, Washington DC 20004. If we request arbitration against you, we will give you notice based on the information we have available. The JAMS’ rules and filing instructions are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267.

Any and all proceedings to resolve Claims will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms of Use. An arbitration decision may be confirmed by any court with competent jurisdiction.

 12. GOVERNING LAW.

This Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Washington DC, without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a state or federal court located in Washington DC, for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, or if for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration.
