Each party retains the right to seek judicial assistance: (i) to compel arbitration, (ii) to obtain interim measures of protection prior to or pending arbitration, (iii) to seek injunctive relief in the courts of any jurisdiction as may be necessary and appropriate to protect the unauthorized disclosure of its proprietary or confidential information; (iv) to pursue claims within the jurisdictional limit of Denver County Small Claims court; (v) for any claims of infringement or misappropriation of Ringba’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secrets; and (v) to enforce any decision of the arbitrator, including the final award.

In such an event, this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein, unless the deletion of such provision or provisions would result in such a material change so as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated herein to be unreasonable.

 

NOTICE OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT:

 

This agreement provides that all disputes between you and Ringba will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. You thus GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to SMALL CLAIMS COURT).Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury.

 

You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
