Arbitration. The parties, which means you and the Company, shall use their 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. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including its formation, performance, and breach) and the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, 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 Terms of Use, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use 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. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. 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. b. Class Action Waiver. The parties, which means you and the Company, further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their 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 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. c. Exception – Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party, you or the Company, may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. d.

Dispute Resolution And Arbitration Agreement. Please Read This Following Clause Carefully — It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court 22. a. Arbitration. The parties, which means you and the Company, shall use their 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. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including its formation, notice of performance and breach) and the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, 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 Terms of Use, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use 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. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. 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. b. Class Action Waiver. The parties, which means you and the Company, further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their 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 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. c. Exception - Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party, you or the Company, may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. d. Thirty Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be legally bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: c/o Global Tel*Link Corporation d/b/a ViaPath Technologies, 3120 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 300, Falls Church, Virginia 22042, Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out.

Arbitration. The parties, which means you and the Company, shall use their 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. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use (including its formation, performance, and breach) and the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration, 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 Terms of Use, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use 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. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Use shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. 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. 2. Class Action Waiver. The parties, which means you and the Company, further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their 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 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. 3. Exception — Litigation of Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party, you or the Company, may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. 4. Thirty Day Right to Opt-Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be legally bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: c/o ViaPath Technologies, 3120 Fairview Park Drive, Suite 300, Falls Church, VA 22042, Attn: Arbitration Opt-Out.
