the changes in any revised Terms of Use by your continued use of the Site after the
date such revised Terms of Use are posted.
The information provided on the Site is not intended for distribution to or use by any

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim
related to these Terms of Use (each "Dispute" and collectively, the "Disputes")
brought by either you or us (individually, a "Party" and collectively, the "Parties"), the
Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes
expressly provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating
arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party
to the other Party.
Binding Arbitration
Any dispute arising from the relationships between the Parties to this contract shall
be determined by one arbitrator who will be chosen in accordance with the Arbitration
and Internal Rules of the European Court of Arbitration being part of the European
Centre of Arbitration having its seat in Strasbourg, and which are in force at the time
the application for arbitration is filed, and of which adoption of this clause constitutes
acceptance. The seat of arbitration shall be Ireland. The language of the proceedings
shall be English. Applicable rules of substantive law shall be the law of Ireland.
Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the
Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be
joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to
be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c)
there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported
representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions
concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to
enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights
of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy,
invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this
provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to
arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or
unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction
within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
