14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

14.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section is referred to as the “Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Passioncy, whether relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Passioncy Services, any advertising, any aspect of the relationship between us, or otherwise, shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, except that you may assert individual claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Passioncy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.

14.2 YOU AND Passioncy AGREE THAT WE MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND Passioncy AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

14.3 Passioncy is always interested in resolving any disputes amicably and efficiently, and most user concerns regarding the Passioncy Platform and/or Passioncy Services can be resolved quickly and to the user’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at hello@passioncy.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (Notice). The Notice to Passioncy should be sent to Gedimino str. 22A-14, Kaunas, 44319 (Notice Address). The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. If Passioncy and you do not resolve the claim within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you or Passioncy may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Passioncy or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Passioncy is entitled.

14.4 All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

14.5 If a court decides that any term or provision of this Arbitration Agreement other than Section 3 above is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court decides that any provision in Section 3 is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

14.6 Future Changes to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Passioncy agrees that if it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the Passioncy Services, you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to this Agreement).

14.7 Unless expressly specified otherwise in the Agreement, the Agreement is governed by the Law of the Republic of Lithuania.
