14. Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

 

A) Most of your concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by logging

into the SYMANTEC customer support interface with your Account at http://support.Symantec.com/. In

the unlikely event that SYMANTEC cannot resolve a concern to your satisfaction (or if SYMANTEC

cannot resolve a concern it has with you after attempting to do so informally),

then you and SYMANTEC agree to be bound by the following procedure to resolve any and

all disputes between us. This provision applies to all consumers to the fullest

extent allowable by law, but expressly excludes residents of Quebec, Russia and

the Member States of the European Union. This agreement is intended to be

interpreted broadly. It covers any and all disputes between us (“Disputes”),

including without limitation:

(a) claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us,

whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other

legal theory;

(b) claims that arose before this Agreement or any prior agreement (including,

but not limited to, claims relating to advertising);

(c) claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in

which you are not a member of a certified class; and

(d) claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement.

The only disputes that are not covered by this Section are the following:

 

1)       a claim to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or SYMANTEC’s (or any of SYMANTEC’s licensors’) intellectual property rights;

 

2)       a claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, or unauthorized use;

 

3)      In addition, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent either party from initiating a small claims court action.

 

By entering into this Agreement, you and SYMANTEC expressly waive the right to a trial by

jury or to participate in a class action. With respect to this Section 16, References to

"SYMANTEC," "you," and "us" include our respective subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees,

predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or

unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or Software under this or prior

agreements between us. This EULA evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this EULA.

 

 

 

 

 

A This does not apply to residents of Quebec, Russia and the Member States of the EuropSymantecn Nation.

 

In case your concern is not resolved by the SYMANTEC Customer Support Interface at http://support.Symantec.com, then you and SYMANTEC will resolve any and all disputes by following the mentioned procedure.

The following procedure will cover all disputes that arise between the client (you) and SYMANTEC no matter how these disputes arise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sections that are not covered by this Section are the following:

 

1)      Claim concerning intellectual property rights.

 

2)      Claim related to allegations of theft, piracy or unauthorized use.

 

3)      Nothing in this agreement will prevent any of the two parties from starting a “small claims court action”

 

 

 

 

 

By entering this agreement, you and SYMANTEC expressly forego the right to trial by jury or a participation in class action.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This provision will survive termination of this EULA.

 

B. Informal Negotiations/Notice of Dispute. You and SYMANTEC agree to first attempt to resolve any Dispute informally before initiating arbitration. Such negotiations commence

upon receipt of written notice from one person to the other (“Notice of Dispute”). Notices

of Dispute must: (a) include the full name and contact information of the complaining

party; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (c) set forth the

specific relief sought ("Demand"). SYMANTEC will send its Notice of Dispute to your billing

address (if you provided it to us) or to the email address you provided to us. You will

send your Notice of Dispute to: Electronic Arts Inc., 209 Redwood Shores Parkway,

Redwood City CA 94065, ATTENTION: Legal Department.

Both parties agree to try to resolve any disputes informally before starting arbitration.

 

These will commence when one party sends the other a Notice of Dispute/Written Notice.

 


A notice of dispute must have:

(a)    Full name and contact of complaining party

(b)   Nature and Basis of dispute.

(c)    Demand

 

 

C. Binding Arbitration. If you and SYMANTEC are unable to resolve a Dispute through

informal negotiations within 30 days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute, either you or

SYMANTEC may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.

Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU

UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT

TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced

and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration

Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for

Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the

AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator

compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by

the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be

excessive, or if you send SYMANTEC a notice to the Notice of Dispute address above indicating

that you are unable to pay the fees required to initiate an arbitration, then SYMANTEC will

promptly pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in

person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator shall

make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by

either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be

challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. You and SYMANTEC may litigate in court to compel

arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter

judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If informal negotiations prove to be futile within 30 days of the receipt of the written notice, either party may choose to resolve it by binding arbitration.

 

Whichever party makes the decision, it shall be binding on both the parties.

 

 

 

 

 

The arbitration will be conducted under the rules mentioned as “Commercial Arbitration Rules” by American Arbitration Association (AAA).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This arbitration might be done/conducted in person, by phone, online or through submission of documents.

D. Restrictions. You and SYMANTEC agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the

Dispute between SYMANTEC and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law: (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration proceeding; (b) there is no right or

authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action-basis or to utilize class action

procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a

purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

YOU AND SYMANTEC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER

ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR

CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE

PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and SYMANTEC agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not  consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any

form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be

unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution/arbitration provision shall be  null and void.

Agree to hold arbitrations individually and that:
(a) No joint arbitration

(b) No class action procedures

(c) No lawsuit on behalf of the general public or anyone else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agree to bring claims individually and not in class or joint proceedings.

E. Location. If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration will take place at

any reasonable location convenient for you. For residents outside the United States,

arbitration shall be initiated in the County of San Mateo, State of California, United

States of America, and you and SYMANTEC agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that

court, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm,

modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

If you’re a US resident the arbitration shall be held at a place convenient for you.

 

 

If you’re not a US resident then arbitration shall be started by the courts of San Mateo, California, United States Of America.

 

You consent to personal jurisdiction of abovementioned court.

F. Recovery and Attorneys’ Fees. If the arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits

of any claim you bring against SYMANTEC and issues you an award that is greater in monetary

value than SYMANTEC's last written settlement offer made before final written submissions are

made to the arbitrator, then SYMANTEC will:

(a) Pay you 150% of your arbitration award, up to $5,000 over and above

your arbitration award; and

(b) Pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorneys' fees, and reimburse

any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that you or your

attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing

your claim in arbitration ("the attorney premium").

The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and

reimbursement of fees, expenses, and the alternative payment and the attorney

premium at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made

within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

The right to attorneys' fees and expenses discussed above supplements any right to

attorneys' fees and expenses you may have under applicable law, although you may not

recover duplicative awards of attorneys' fees or costs. SYMANTEC waives any right it may have

to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any arbitration

between us.

If arbitration is in your favour then SYMANTEC will:

 

(a)    Pay you 150% of your arbitration award

(b)   Pay your attorney fees and reimburse any legal costs you accrue.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

G. Limitation on Arbitrator’s Authority. The arbitrator may award declaratory or

injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent

necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

Limits arbitrator’s authority and he can only awar relief in favour of individual seeking relief to the extent necessary.

H. Changes to Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the

contrary, we agree that if SYMANTEC makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other

than a change to the Notice of Dispute address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) days of the change to the Notice of Dispute

address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will

arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this provision.

If Symantec makes changes to this agreement in the future, you will have 30 days to reject such change and send a written notice.
