- 12. Trade Sanctions And Export Control Compliance.
-
The Services and Software, and your use of them, are subject to laws,
restrictions, and regulations of the United States and other jurisdictions
that (A) govern the import, export, and use of the Services and Software;
and (B) may, in the Company's sole discretion, prohibit us from providing
the Services and Software to you with or without notice, in which case no
refunds will be provided for any pre-paid fees. By using the Services and
Software, you agree to comply with all such laws, restrictions, and
regulations, and you warrant that you are not prohibited from receiving
the Services and Software by the laws of any jurisdiction. Additionally,
you agree not to upload to or transmit over any Services or Software any
content that is controlled for export from the United States (including
technical data controlled under the US International Traffic in Arms
Regulations and technology controlled under the US Export Administration
Regulations) without prior written approval from the Company.

13. Dispute Resolution, Class Action Waiver, Arbitration
Agreement.
-
13.1 Notice of Claim and Required Information Dispute
Resolution Process. If you have any concern or dispute that the Company's
Customer Care is unable to resolve (“Claim”), you agree to first try to
resolve the dispute informally and in good faith by contacting us and
providing a written Notice of Claim to the address provided in section
18.2 (Notice to the Company). The Notice of Claim must provide the Company
with fair notice of your identity, a description of the nature and basis
of your Claim, and the relief you are seeking, including the specific
amount of any monetary relief you are seeking, and cannot be combined with
a Notice of Claim for other individuals. If any dispute related to your
Claim is not resolved within 60 days of receipt, any resulting legal
actions must be resolved through either small claims court or final and
binding arbitration, including any dispute about whether arbitration is
required for the dispute, subject to the exceptions set forth below.
Neither party shall initiate legal action until 60 days after the Notice
of Claim is received. This agreement to arbitrate shall apply, without
limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective
date of the Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local
court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute
relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of the
Terms or formation of the Terms, including whether any dispute between us
is subject to arbitration (i.e., the arbitrator will decide the
arbitrability of any dispute) and whether all or any part of these Terms
are void or voidable. Claims related to the Terms, Services, or Software
are permanently barred if not brought within one year of the event
resulting in the Claim.
-
13.2 No Class Actions. You may only
resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and you may not bring a
claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or
representative action. Nonetheless, if any portion of this class action
waiver is deemed unenforceable or invalid as to a particular remedy, then
that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration
and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any
adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed
pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.
-
13.3
Arbitration Rules. There will be one arbitrator that you and the Company
mutually select. The arbitration will be conducted in the English
language. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered and will be
enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction
over you and us. In the event of a conflict between the rules of the
arbitration provider and the Terms, including with respect to the
assessment of the fees and costs of arbitration, the Terms will
govern.
-
13.4 Arbitration Fees and Costs. Payment of all filing,
administration, and arbitrator fees and costs of arbitration will be
governed by the rules of the arbitration provider, except that to the
extent that you bring a Claim as part of a Coordinated Action, we agree
that the parties will equally share all of the fees and costs of
arbitration (to the extent that allocation is not already required under
applicable rules). For purposes of this section, a “Coordinated Action” is
any action in which you are represented by a law firm or collection of law
firms that has filed numerous coordinated individual arbitration demands
of the same or similar nature against the Company within a short time. If
the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a Claim or the relief
sought in arbitration was frivolous, or a Claim was brought for an
improper purpose, the parties may seek to re- allocate the fees and costs
of arbitration, according to the rules of the arbitration provider.
-
13.5 Exceptions to Arbitration – Small Claims and Injunctive Relief.
If either party files a Claim in arbitration that could have been brought
in small claims court, the other party may provide notice that it wants
the case decided in small claims court before the appointment of an
arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall administratively close the case
before assessing any fees, and the party bringing the Claim must proceed
in small claims court in lieu of arbitration. Any dispute about whether a
Claim qualifies for small claims court shall be resolved by that court,
not by an arbitrator. In the event of any such dispute, the arbitration
proceeding shall remain closed unless and until a decision by the small
claims court that the Claim should proceed in arbitration. Additionally,
either party shall be entitled to apply for preliminary injunctive
remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any
jurisdiction, such as in the event of your or others' unauthorized access
to or use of the Services or Software in violation of the Terms. If a
party has a dispute in which they seek to obtain both preliminary
injunctive relief and other forms of relief, the party may go to court to
seek preliminary injunctive relief but must arbitrate its claims or seek
relief in small claims court for all other forms of relief.

the parties, such as strikes, blockade, war, terrorism, riots, natural
disasters, refusal of license by the government or other governmental
agencies, internet or network outages, hacking, phishing, viruses,

no other warranties regarding the uptime or availability of the Service.
Your only recourse for any downtime issues is to terminate your use of the

CST on Saturday and or Sunday each week, but we reserve the right to
schedule maintenance at any time without notice. We will provide
