7. Dispute Resolution.


  1. Controlling Law and Jurisdiction. This agreement will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming and the United States of America, without regard to their conflict-of-law provisions. You and we agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of a federal or state court located in Raleigh, NC for any actions for which the arbitration provision, as set forth in the Dispute Resolution Section, does not apply.
  2. To resolve any Dispute (defined hereinbelow) quickly and economically (and particularly, to avoid unnecessary legal fees), and to preserve their privacy and ongoing business relationships, the parties intend that any Dispute shall be settled through non-binding mediation or binding arbitration.

If any claim, controversy, issue or dispute among the parties relating your use of Plantribe.io or to this agreement or any breach thereof, including without limitation any claim that this agreement is invalid, rescinded, voidable or void ("Dispute"), is not settled by direct discussions within thirty (30) days after written notice of the Dispute, the parties agree first to try in good faith to settle the Dispute by one round of non-binding mediation under the Commercial Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), in Raleigh, N.C., U.S.A.
  4. Arbitration. If the parties fail to settle a Dispute through mediation, it will be settled by binding arbitration before a mutually agreed upon arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. If the parties fail to agree on an arbitrator, the AAA office nearest to Raleigh, N.C. shall assign an arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in Raleigh, N.C. Judgment on the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. You agree that you and Plantribe.io each are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action proceeding. Further, unless agreed in writing by both parties, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form class action proceeding.
