7 Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois (USA) applicable to agreements made, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
8 Dispute Resolution
The Licensor prefers to resolve any issues informally first.
8.1 Informal Negotiations
Before taking legal action, both sides agree to try to resolve any dispute through informal talks for at least 30 days. This starts when one side sends written notice to the other.
8.2 Binding Arbitration
If informal talks do not work, the dispute will be settled through binding arbitration (not in court). This means the Licensee gives up the right to sue or have a jury trial. Arbitration will follow 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 American Arbitration Association (AAA) website. It can happen in person, by phone, online, or by submitting documents. The arbitrator must follow the law and give a written decision. Arbitration will take place in DuPage County, Illinois, unless the law says otherwise. Either side can go to court only to enforce or challenge the arbitration decision. If a court decides arbitration isn’t allowed for a specific issue, that issue will be handled in court in Illinois.
8.3 Limits on Arbitration
Arbitration will only involve the two parties directly. It cannot be part of a class action or brought on behalf of others.
8.4 Exceptions
Some disputes do not have to go through informal talks or arbitration:
If a court finds any part of this section unenforceable, that part will be handled in court, not arbitration.
9 Miscellaneous
