+ | VII. SECTION SEVEN: Disputes & Binding Arbitration | ||
+ | A. Equitable Remedies | ||

Consequently, in addition to such monetary and other relief as may be recoverable at law, you agree that ELDER GAME shall be entitled to specific performance or other injunctive relief, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, as remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this TERMS OF SERVICE or any other ELDER GAME Terms.

+ | |||
+ | B. Informal Negotiations | ||
+ | To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this TERMS OF SERVICE or any other ELDER GAME TERMS ("Dispute"), you and ELDER GAME agree to first attempt to negotiate any DISPUTE (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding.

ELDER GAME will send its notice to your billing address (if provided) and email you a copy to the email address you have provided to us. You agree to send your notice to ELDER GAME, 304 S. Jones Blvd #3287, Las Vegas NV 89107 Attn: DISPUTE RESOLUTION with a copy via email to [email protected]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | C. Binding Arbitration | ||
+ | If you and ELDER GAME are unable to resolve a DISPUTE through informal negotiations, either you or ELDER GAME may elect to have the DISPUTE (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.

The determination of whether a DISPUTE is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. 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, ELDER GAME will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this TERMS OF SERVICE, you and ELDER GAME may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. | ||
+ | |||
+ | D. Restrictions on Dispute Proceedings | ||
+ | You and ELDER GAME agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the DISPUTE between ELDER GAME and you individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any DISPUTE to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) 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 agree that maximum compensation of a lawsuit, mediation, or arbitration shall be limited to the purchase price of Project: Gorgon. | ||
+ | |||
+ | E. Location | ||
+ | Any arbitration shall be initiated in the County of Orlando, State of Florida, United States of America. Any DISPUTE not subject to arbitration, or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Orlando, State of Florida, United States of America, and you and ELDER GAME agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. | ||
+ | |||
