Governing Law And Dispute Resolution

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma, U.S.A. without giving effect to any conflict of laws and provisions that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed and shall not apply to this Agreement.

You agree that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy you may have against Virtuoso arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this Agreement, Services, or Site, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA (“Rules and Procedures”); (2) the arbitration shall be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Licensee and Virtuoso; (3) the arbitrator shall apply Oklahoma law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (4) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only your individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (5) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Virtuoso may elect to pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (6) with the exception of subpart (4) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its Terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (4) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, you shall not be entitled to arbitrate its dispute. For more information on AAA and its Rules and Procedures, you may visit the AAA website.

To the extent that the arbitration provisions of this Agreement do not apply, this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving Tulsa County, Oklahoma, U.S.A., and the parties agree and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts, except that nothing herein shall in any way prohibit or limit Virtuoso from instituting an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive relief or to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights.

Waiver and Severability

No waiver of these Terms by Virtuoso shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or any other term or condition, and any failure of Virtuoso to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of these Terms will continue in full force and effect. In lieu thereof, there shall be added a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
