Please Read This Following Clause Carefully

It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights

Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court

The term "dispute" is as broad as it can be. It includes any claim or controversy between you and us concerning the Website, the software related to the Website, your account, advertising, marketing, communications, your purchase transaction, billing, or these Terms, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ intellectual property rights.

We are available by email at info@eonsolutions.io to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Website. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and the EON Platform® agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

If we do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to section (A) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration.  All claims arising out of or relating to these T&C (including its formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Website shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions.  The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these T&C, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these T&C is void or voidable.  The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity.  The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these T&C shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.

 The AAA rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1.800.778.7879.  To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost.  If we are required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, you should submit a request for payment of fees to AAA along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to AAA.  The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain circumstances.

 The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial.  They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

You and the EON Platform® each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and the EON Platform® each expressly waive your respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis.  If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section (B) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

These terms govern to the extent they conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules or Consumer Arbitration Rules.

Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

You and EON Platform® must file in small claims court or arbitration any claim or dispute (except intellectual property disputes) within one year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it's permanently barred.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections (B), C), and (D) above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the address provided in the “how to contact us” section.

The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of the Website, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections.  If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.  

To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section (B) do not apply, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Fairfax County. The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in California for any litigation other than small claims court actions.  

If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of the section still applies.

The failure of EON Platform® to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these T&C shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these T&C is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such part or provision may be modified to make the T&C as modified legal and enforceable, and that the other provisions of these T&C will remain in full force and effect.

The section titles in these T&C are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These T&C will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of your use of the Website.

If any provision of these T&C is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, the provision will be modified by the court and interpreted so as best to accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of these T&C will remain in effect. 

These T&C will be interpreted without application of any strict construction in favor of or against Visitor or EON Platform®.
