 DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by North Marketing that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of these Terms.  Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English.  This arbitration applies to you and North Marketing, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under these Terms.

Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (a “Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to North Marketing should be sent to our address as indicated in our contact section.  After the Notice is received, you and North Marketing may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally.  If you and North Marketing do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.  The amount of the award shall also be limited by the Limitation of Liability section of these Terms, to the extent applicable.

Arbitration Rules.  The arbitration shall be initiated through the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) Rules, an established alternative dispute resolution provider (the “ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  The LCIA Arbitration Rules (the “ADR Provider Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.lcia.org.  If the LCIA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The ADR Provider Rules shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with these Terms.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of North Marketing’s business premises unless you reside outside of such area, and unless the parties agree otherwise.  If you reside outside of such geographical area, the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time, and place of any oral hearings, as detailed below.  Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.  If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, reputable video conference-based tools, and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

Time Limits.  If you or North Marketing elect to pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the ADR Provider Rules for the pertinent claim.

Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and North Marketing, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.

The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the ADR Provider Rules, and these Terms.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and North Marketing.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the LCIA Rules, and these Terms.

The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim.

Emergency Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration.

Waiver of Class Actions, Non-Individualized Relief. You acknowledge and accept that claims brought against North Marketing shall be only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any possible future class or representative action or similar proceeding.  Unless otherwise agreed by you and North Marketing, you may not adjoin or consolidate any claim with more than one person; and you may not otherwise supervise or take over any form of a class, representative, or consolidated proceeding.

Applicable Law.  You agree to submit to the applicable laws of the United Kingdom, which will govern these Terms and any claim, without regard to conflict of law provisions.

Forum.  For the application of this arbitration agreement, and of other matters appertaining these Terms, the parties hereto agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in the City of Vantaa, Finland.

If you bring a dispute in a manner other than in accordance with this section, you agree that we may move to have it dismissed and that you will be responsible for our reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs, and disbursements in doing so.
