11.2 Limitation of Liability. SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS, INCLUDING MEMBER COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE BELOW LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, IN NO EVENT WILL AUDIT ALARM BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR (A) ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA ARISING OUT OF THE PROVISION OF THE OFFERINGS AND/OR SITE, (B) ANY LOSS OF USE OR LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF COMPUTING DEVICES, FAILED MESSAGES OR TRANSMISSION ERRORS ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE OFFERINGS AND/OR SITE, OR (C) ANY SPECIAL CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SIMILAR LOSS OR DAMAGE(S).

You will not remove, deface or obscure any of Audit Alarm’s copyright or trademark notices and/or legends or other proprietary notices on, incorporated therein, or associated with the Offerings.
13. Force Majeure. Audit Alarm shall not be responsible for any failure to perform due to unforeseen circumstances or to causes beyond Audit Alarm’s reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war (whether declared or not), riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, lockouts, failure of public or private telecommunications networks and infrastructure, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials. In the event of any such delay, Audit Alarm may be excused from such performance to the extent it is delayed or prevented by such cause.
14. Dispute Resolution.
14.1 Audit Alarm believes that most disagreements can be resolved informally and efficiently by contacting Audit Alarm customer support. If You are a U.S. customer, and the dispute is not resolved through Audit Alarm customer support, You and Audit Alarm agree that any such dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Offerings or the Site (a “Claim”) shall be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction, as follows:
You agree to bring a Claim in small claims court in Your county (or parish) residence or in the Superior Court of Arizona, County of Maricopa. 14.2 Small Claims Court. You may elect to litigate Your Claim in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the dispute.
14.3 Arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to the Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision and that You and Audit Alarm are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Terms and/or the termination of Your Audit Alarm license or EULA.
14.3.1 Notice of Claim. If You elect to seek arbitration, You must first send to Audit Alarm, by certified mail, a written Notice of Your Claim (“Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim to Audit Alarm should be addressed to: General Counsel, Audit Alarm, Inc., 3961 E. Chandler Blvd #111-301, Phoenix, AZ 85048, and should be prominently captioned “NOTICE OF CLAIM.” The Notice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address. You would like Audit Alarm to use to contact You. If Audit Alarm elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim to Your billing address on file. A Notice of Claim, whether sent by You or by Audit Alarm, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought (“Demand”); and (c) whether You reject any subsequent modification of the Dispute Resolution section by Audit Alarm (see the section entitled Arbitration Fees).
14.3.2 Arbitration Proceedings. If You and Audit Alarm do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Claim is received, You or Audit Alarm may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, alternatively, file a Claim in small claims court). You may download or copy a form of notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as appropriate, of the American Arbitration Association (“A.A.A.”) (collectively, the “A.A.A. Rules”), as modified by the EULA and/or Terms, and will be administered by the A.A.A. The A.A.A. Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the A.A.A. at 1-800-778-7879. The Terms and the applicable EULA bind the arbitrator. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
Unless Audit Alarm and You agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your residence or the mailing address. You provided in Your Notice of Claim. Suppose Your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less. In that case, Audit Alarm agrees that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the A.A.A. Rules. If Your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the A.A.A. Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues You an award that is greater than the value of Audit Alarm’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Audit Alarm did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Audit Alarm will pay You, in addition to the award, either U.S. $500 or 10% of the amount awarded, whichever is greater. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
14.3.3 Arbitration Fees. Suppose Your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000. In that case, Audit Alarm will pay all fees imposed by the A.A.A. to conduct the arbitration, including reimbursement of Your initial filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in Your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards outlined in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If Your claim for damages exceeds $10,000, standard A.A.A. Rules will govern the payment of all A.A.A. fees, including filing, administration, and arbitrator fees.
14.4 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND AUDIT ALARM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, suppose You have elected arbitration unless you and Audit Alarm agree otherwise. In that case, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with Your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
14.5 Modification of Dispute Resolution Section. Suppose Audit Alarm changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date You first accepted these Terms, and You have not otherwise affirmatively agreed to such changes. In that case, You may reject any such change by so stating within Your Notice of Claim. By failing to reject any changes to this Dispute Resolution section in Your Notice of Claim, You agree to resolve any Claim between You and Audit Alarm in accordance with the terms of the Dispute Resolution section in effect as of the date of Your Notice of Claim.
15. General.
15.1 If You are located in the Americas, the Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, United States of America. If you are located in the Asia Pacific Rim, the Terms will be governed by the laws of Singapore. If You are located in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, the Terms will be governed by the laws of England and Wales. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Terms will derogate from any rights You may have under existing consumer protection legislation or other applicable laws in Your jurisdiction.
15.2 Should You have any questions concerning the Terms, or if You desire to contact Audit Alarm for any reason, please write to Audit Alarm Customer Services 3961 E. Chandler Blvd, #111-301, Phoenix, AZ 85048 or visit the support page, which can be located at http:/www.auditalarm.com
