GOVERNING LAW & DISPUTE RESOLUTION
1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its choice of law rules to the contrary; provided that, the Agreement to Arbitrate and related arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 15, shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. This Agreement (including without limitation, the Arch Cloud Service and any services provided hereunder) will not be governed or interpreted in any way by referring to any law based on the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) or any other act derived from or related to UCITA.
2. Disputes. Any dispute, controversy, or claim between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Arch Cloud Service (or any part thereof) or the breach, termination, or invalidity of this Agreement (a “Dispute”) shall be resolved by the parties in accordance with this Section 15. A party who intends to seek arbitration or bring other action permitted under this Section 15 with respect to any Dispute, must first send a written notice of the Dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Dispute Notice”). Arch’s address for Dispute Notices is: Arch, Inc., Attention: Notice of Dispute, Arch Data, Inc., 2028 E. Ben White Blvd #240-3303 Austin, TX 78741. The Dispute Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought.
3. Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as described in Section 15.5, the parties agree that any and all Disputes shall be resolved by final, binding and confidential arbitration, settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its applicable Arbitration Rules in effect at time the claim is submitted (the “Rules”) as modified by this Section 15. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single, neutral arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the Rules. The location of arbitration shall be Austin, Texas, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent feasible, the parties agree the arbitration may be conducted by video conference, telephone, or other telecommunication means. To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions set forth in this Section 15 and the Rules or any procedural or other rules issued by the arbitrator, this Section 15 will control. The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its choice of law rules to the contrary. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review, and the award may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such court for confirmation or recognition or enforcement of any award rendered by the arbitral tribunal in accordance with, inter alia, the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards. The parties agree that, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, neither party shall have any right to commence or maintain any suit or legal proceedings (other than for interim or conservatory measures, or as otherwise stated herein) until the dispute has been determined in accordance with the arbitration procedure provided in this Section and then only for enforcement of the award rendered in the arbitration.
4. Enforceability; Venue. If the Agreement to Arbitrate is found not to apply to any claim brought by Customer and/or Arch, Customer and Arch agree that any judicial proceeding will be brought in the federal or state courts located in Travis County, Texas, United States of America, and the parties hereby consent to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts.
5. Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any actual or alleged violation of Arch’s intellectual property or confidentiality rights, Arch may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court with competent jurisdiction in any country, including in the State of Texas, United States of America, without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute process set forth in this Section, and Customer hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction and exclusive venue in such courts. In addition, despite the Agreement to Arbitrate, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; or (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration.
6. Prevailing Party. Subject to Section 9, in the event that either party institutes any arbitration, legal suit, action or proceeding against the other party arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the Arch Cloud Service (or any part thereof), the prevailing party in the suit, action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive in addition to all other damages to which it may be entitled, the costs incurred by such party in conducting the suit, action or proceeding, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.

CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS AREN’T ALLOWED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
GENERAL
1. Severability; Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right provided for herein, will not be deemed to be a waiver of the future enforcement of such provision or right, and no waiver of any provision or right will affect the right of the waiving party to enforce any other provision or right herein.
