‍ 15.9.1 We Both Agree to Arbitrate. You and SiteVibes.com agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms or the Services through confidential, final, and binding arbitration by a single arbitrator, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to arbitrate below. This includes disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this “Mandatory Confidential Arbitration Provisions” section, including its enforceability, revocability, or validity.

15.9.2 Arbitration Procedures and Fees. The Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be conducted in Chicago, Illinois, unless you and SiteVibes.com agree otherwise. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses.

‍15.9.3 Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. SiteVibes.com may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

‍15.9.4 NO CLASS ACTIONS. With respect to all persons and entities, regardless of whether they have obtained or used the SiteVibes.com Service for personal, commercial or other purposes, all claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and SiteVibes.com are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.‍

‍15.10   Amendments; Waivers.  We may change these Terms from time to time, without actual notice to you. The revised Terms shall become effective upon posting in the website.

If the Service has your e-mail address on record (subject to our privacy policy), we may use this to inform you of changes to these Terms in advance. In addition: (a) If SiteVibes.com launches new products or optional features that require opt-in acceptance of new terms, those terms will apply upon Customer’s acceptance or use; (b) changes to any terms will take effect immediately for Free Access Subscriptions; and (c) during a Subscription Term, SiteVibes.com may update SiteVibes.com’s security page and Privacy Policy from time-to-time to reflect process improvements or changing practices, and these changes will take effect on the date of posting so long as they do not substantially diminish Customer’s rights or create substantial additional Customer obligations during a Subscription Term. SiteVibes.com’s documentation is available online and constantly being developed and improved, and as a result, during a Subscription Term SiteVibes.com may update the documentation to reflect best practices with the relevant SiteVibes.com Service, provided that these changes do not substantially diminish Customer’s rights or create substantial Customer obligations. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and any Subscription Plan, these Terms will take precedence unless otherwise expressly provided. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under these Terms. Waivers must be made in writing and executed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. The waiver by either you or SiteVibes.com of any breach of any provision of these Terms does not waive any other breach. The failure of any party to these Terms to insist on strict performance of any covenant or obligation in accordance with these Terms will not be a waiver of such party’s right to demand strict compliance in the future, nor will the same be construed as a novation of these Terms.

‍15.11   Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms may otherwise remain in effect.

‍15.12   No Third-Party Rights. Nothing in these Terms confers on any third party the right to enforce any provision of these Terms.
