Claims Resolution

Most customer concerns can be resolved through Sonics VPN’s online support center (available at https://www.sonicsvpn.com/support). In the event that Sonics VPN is unable to resolve a complaint to your satisfaction, this section explains how claims can be resolved through mediation, arbitration or litigation. It includes an arbitration provision. For this section, the words "you" and "Sonics VPN" include any corporate parents, subsidiaries, affiliates or related persons or entities. The word "claim" means any current or future claim, dispute or controversy relating to the Product, this Agreement, and this Claims Resolution provision, except for the validity, enforceability or scope of the Arbitration provision. The word "claim" also includes but is not limited to: (i) initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims and third-party claims; (ii) claims based upon contract, tort, fraud, statute, regulation, common la and equity; (iii) claims by or against any third-party using or providing any product, service or benefit in connection with Agreement; and (iv) claims that arise from or relate to advertisements, promotions or oral or written statements related to the Product. You or Sonics VPN may not sell, assign or transfer a claim.

Sending a Claim Notice

Before beginning a lawsuit, mediation or arbitration, you and Sonics VPN agree to send a written notice (a claim notice) to each party against whom a claim is asserted, in order to provide an opportunity to resolve the claim informally or through mediation. The claim notice must describe the claim and state the specific relief demanded.

Notice to Sonics VPN must include your name, address, the name of the Product at issue, the date of download or purchase of the Product, the email address you previously provided to us, if any. The notice must be sent to [email protected]. If the claim proceeds to arbitration, the amount of any relief demanded in a claim notice will not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator rules.

Mediation

In mediation, a neutral mediator helps parties resolve a claim. The mediator does not decide the claim but helps the parties reach agreement.

Before beginning mediation, you or Sonics VPN must first send a claim notice. If you live within the United States, within thirty days after sending or receiving a claim notice, you or Sonics VPN may submit the claim to JAMS (jamsadr.com), the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (adr.org), or another mutually agreed upon mediator, for mediation. If you live outside of the United States, you may contact Sonics VPN for information on potential mediators. Sonics VPN will pay the fees of the mediator.

All mediation-related communications are confidential, inadmissible in court and not subject to discovery. All applicable statutes of limitation will be tolled until the termination of the mediation.

Either you or Sonics VPN may terminate the mediation at any time. The submission or failure to submit a claim to mediation will not affect your or Sonics VPN’s rights under this Claim Resolution provision.

Arbitration

If you live in the United States, you or Sonics VPN may elect to resolve any claim by individual arbitration. If you do not live in the United States, this arbitration subsection does not apply to you. In individual arbitration, claims are decided by a neutral arbitrator.

Initiating Arbitration

Before beginning arbitration, you or Sonics must first send a claim notice. Claims will be referred to either JAMS or AAA, as selected by the party electing arbitration. Claims will be resolved pursuant to this Arbitration provision and the selected organization's rules in effect when the claim is filed, except where those rules conflict with this Arbitration provision. If Sonics VPN choose the organization, you may select the other within thirty days after receiving notice of Sonics VPN's selection. Contact JAMS or AAA to begin an arbitration or for other information. Claims also may be referred to another arbitration organization if you and Sonics VPN agree in writing or to an arbitrator appointed pursuant to section 6 of the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (the "FAA").

You or Sonics VPN may otherwise elect to arbitrate any claim at any time unless it has been filed in court and trial has begun or final judgment has been entered. Either you or Sonics VPN may delay enforcing or not exercise rights under this Arbitration provision, including the right to arbitrate a claim, without waiving the right to exercise or enforce those rights. Sonics VPN will not elect arbitration for any claim you file in small claims court, so long as the claim is individual and pending only in that court.

Limitations on Arbitration

If either party elects to resolve a claim by arbitration, that claim will be arbitrated on an individual basis. There will be no right or authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, other licensees or other persons similarly situated.

The arbitrator's authority is limited to claims between you and Sonics VPN alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless you and Sonics VPN agree in writing. An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it will apply only to the specific case and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award. Notwithstanding any other provision and without waiving the right to appeal such decision, if any portion of these limitations on Arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration provision (other than this sentence) will not apply.

Arbitration Procedures

This Arbitration provision is governed by the FAA. The arbitrator will apply applicable substantive law, statutes of limitations and privileges. The arbitrator will not apply any federal or state rules of civil procedure or evidence in matters relating to evidence or discovery. Subject to th Limitations on Arbitration, the arbitrator may otherwise award any relief available in court. The arbitration will be confidential, but you may notify any government authority of your claim.

If your claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. At any party's request, the arbitrator will provide a brief written explanation of the award. The arbitrator's award will be final and binding, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA; however, any party will have thirty days to appeal the award by notifying the arbitration organization and all parties in writing. The organization will appoint a three-arbitrator panel to decide anew, by majority vote based on written submissions, any aspect of the decision objected to by any party. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

At your election, any in-person arbitration hearings will take place in the federal judicial district of your residence.

Arbitration Fees and Costs

You will be responsible for paying your share of any arbitration fees (including filing, administrative, hearing or other fees), but only up to the amount of the filing fees you would have incurred if you had brought a claim in a court of general jurisdiction.

Sonics VPN will be responsible for any additional arbitration fees. At your written request, Sonics VPN will consider in good faith making a temporary advance of your share of any arbitration fees, or paying for the reasonable fees of an expert appointed by the arbitrator for good cause.

Arbitration Awards

If the arbitrator rules in your favor for an amount greater than any final offer Sonics VPN made before arbitration, the arbitrator's award will include: (i) any money to which you are entitled, but in no case less than $2,000; and (ii) any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

Your Right To Reject Arbitration

You may reject this Arbitration provision by sending a rejection notice to Sonics VPN at: [email protected]. Your rejection notice must be sent within 30 days after your first download or purchase of the Product. Your rejection notice must state that you reject the Arbitration provision and must include your name, address, the date of download or purchase of the Product, the name of the Product, the email address you previously provided to Sonics VPN, if any, and the license code Sonics VPN provided to you, if any. If your rejection notice complies with these requirements, this Arbitration provision will not apply to you, except for any claims subject to pending litigation or arbitration at the time you send your rejection notice. Rejection of this Arbitration provision will not affect your other rights or responsibilities under this Agreement. Rejecting this Arbitration provision will not affect your ability to use the Product.

Continuation

This Claims Resolution provision will survive termination of this Agreement or your license to use the Product. If any portion of this Claims Resolution provision, except as otherwise provided in the Limitations on Arbitration provisions above, is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this Claims Resolution provision.
