Governing Law

Binding Arbitration
Subject to exceptions specified herein, if you and DRUVEN are unable to resolve any dispute by informal negotiations, then any resolution of this dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration.

The cost of the binding arbitration proceedings and any proceeding in court to confirm or to vacate any arbitration award, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, will be borne by the unsuccessful party and will be determined and awarded by the arbitrator.

Exceptions to the use of binding arbitration are as follows: DRUVEN may bring forth a lawsuit, without using binding arbitration, should the lawsuit involve intellectual property infringement or injunctive relief. Also, either party may use small claims court.

Class Action Waiver
You will not seek to have the dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. Arbitration or any other proceeding to resolve any dispute, in any forum, will be conducted solely on an individual basis and not combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

Severability
If any term, covenant, condition or provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, such provision is to be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and all other provisions will remain in full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed replaced by a provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

Waivers
No failure or delay, on the part of DRUVEN, in exercising any right or power under these Terms will operate as a waiver of such right or power.

DRUVEN Material other than this Agreement, communication between you and DRUVEN, including telephone, email and online chat assistance, or announcements, newsletters or promotional materials from DRUVEN.
