13. Additional Legal Terms

Binding Arbitration (“Arbitration Agreement”)

a. Applicability.
You agree that any dispute or claim against us, or our vendors or service providers (collectively, “We” or “Us”), related in any way to your access or use of these websites, these Terms, or any aspect of your relationship with Us, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, and (2) you or We may seek equitable relief in court for misuse of intellectual property rights.

You must commence any arbitration or other claim within one (1) year after the dispute arises, or it is permanently barred.

b. Process.
To begin a claim, send a written notice describing your claim to:
Fortress Entertainment PTY LTD, De Velde Estate, De Beers Avenue, Firgrove Rural, Somerset West, 7130, South Africa.
We will attempt in good faith to resolve the matter informally within 30 days before arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined or Comprehensive Arbitration Rules, as applicable.

c. Fees.
If you cannot afford arbitration fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, we will pay them for you. If the arbitrator finds the claims frivolous, you agree to reimburse our legal fees to the extent permitted by law.

d. Authority.
The arbitrator, not any court, has exclusive authority to resolve disputes regarding the interpretation or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.

e. Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Actions.
You and We waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. Claims must be arbitrated individually.

f. Batch Arbitration, Severability, Survival, Modification.
If fifty (50) or more similar arbitration demands are filed within a 30-day period, JAMS may consolidate them for efficiency. If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found unenforceable, it will be severed, and the rest will continue in full force. This section survives termination of your relationship with us. Future material changes will not apply to claims already noticed.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fortress Entertainment PTY LTD, or its vendors and service providers (“We” or “Us”), shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenues, or data arising from your use of the websites.
In no event shall our total liability exceed the greater of (a) $100 USD or (b) the total amount paid to Raptive by you in the six months preceding the claim.
