  7. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION, AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS.
    1. Disputes. The terms of this Section 7.1 shall apply to all Disputes between you and Epson. The term "Dispute" is meant to have the broadest meaning permissible under law and includes any dispute, claim, controversy or action between you and Epson arising out of or relating to the Service, Software, Epson branded product or hardware, these Terms, or other transaction involving you and Epson, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. "DISPUTE" DOES NOT INCLUDE IP CLAIMS, or more specifically, a claim or cause of action for (a) trade secret misappropriation, (b) patent infringement, (c) copyright infringement or misuse, or (d) trademark infringement or dilution (an "IP Claim"). You and Epson also agree, notwithstanding Section 7.6 below, that a court, not the arbitrator, may decide if a claim or cause of action is for an IP Claim.
    2. Binding Arbitration. You and Epson agree that all Disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration according to these Terms. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. Pursuant to these Terms, binding arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized arbitration authority, pursuant to its code of procedures then in effect for consumer related disputes (for more detail on procedure, see Section 7.6 below). You and Epson understand and agree that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 7, (b) these Terms memorialize a transaction in interstate commerce, and (c) this Section 7 shall survive termination of these Terms.
    3. Pre-Arbitration Steps and Notice. Before submitting a claim for arbitration, you and Epson each agree to try to resolve any Dispute informally for sixty (60) days. If Epson and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within the sixty (60) days after receipt of the Dispute Notice (defined below), you or Epson may commence the arbitration proceeding. Notice to Epson must be addressed to: Epson America, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department, 3840 Kilroy Airport Way, Long Beach, CA 90806 (the "Espon Address"). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address Epson has in its records for you. Notice of the Dispute shall include a written statement with the sender’s name, address and contact information, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the "Dispute Notice"). Following receipt of the Dispute Notice, Epson and you agree to act in good faith to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.
    4. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.
    5. WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND EPSON AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY-GENERAL ACTIONS, AND ANY OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESEATNTATIVE CAPACITY ARE NOT ALLOWED. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS SECTION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.
    6. Arbitration Procedure. If you or Epson commences arbitration, the arbitration shall be governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is filed, excluding any rules that permit arbitration on a class or representative basis (the "JAMS Rules"), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in these Terms. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth here shall govern. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for an IP Claim, which is excluded from the definition of "Disputes" in Section 7.1 above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court sitting in proper jurisdiction could, and 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. In some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The arbitrator’s award is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Orange County, California, at your option.
      1. (a) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Epson decides to arbitrate a Dispute, both parties agree to the following procedure:
        1. (i) Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com ("Demand for Arbitration").
        2. (ii) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to: JAMS, 500 North State College Blvd., Suite 600 Orange, CA 92868, U.S.A.
        3. (iii) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party (same address as the Dispute Notice), or as otherwise agreed by the parties.
      2. (b) Hearing Format. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Epson is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.
      3. (c) Arbitration Fees. Epson shall pay, or (if applicable) reimburse you for, all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for any arbitration commenced (by you or Epson) pursuant to provisions of these Terms.
      4. (d) Award in Your Favor. For Disputes in which you or Epson seeks $75,000 (USD) or less in damages exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs, if the arbitrator’s decision results in an award to you in an amount greater than Epson’s last written offer, if any, to settle the Dispute, Epson will: (i) pay you $1,000 (USD) or the amount of the award, whichever is greater; (ii) pay you twice the amount of your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse you for any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing the Dispute in arbitration. Except as agreed upon by you and Epson in writing, the arbitrator shall determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses to be paid by Epson pursuant to this Section 7.6(d).
      5. (e) Attorney’s Fees. Epson will not seek its attorney’s fees and expenses for any arbitration commenced involving a Dispute under these Terms. Your right to attorney’s fees and expenses under Section 7.6(d) above does not limit your rights to attorney’s fees and expenses under applicable law; notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator may not award duplicative awards of attorney’s fees and expenses.
    7. Opt-out. You may elect to opt-out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding, individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in these Terms by sending a written letter to the Epson Address within thirty (30) days of your assent to these Terms (including without limitation the purchase, download, installation of the Software or other applicable use of Epson Hardware, products and services) that specifies (i) your name, (ii) your mailing address, and (iii) your request to be excluded from the final, binding individual arbitration procedure and waiver of class and representative proceedings specified in this Section 7. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to provide notice prior to litigation.
    8. Amendments to Section 7. Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, you and Epson agree that if Epson makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Epson’s address) in these Terms, Epson will obtain your affirmative assent to the applicable amendment. If you do not affirmatively assent to the applicable amendment, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between the parties in accordance with the language of this Section 7 (or resolve disputes as provided for in Section 7.7., if you timely elected to opt-out when you first assented to this Agreement).
    9. Severability. If any provision in this Section 7 is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of these Terms remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions as provided in Section 7.5; if Section 7.5 is found to be unenforceable, the entire Section 7 (but only Section 7) shall be null and void.
  8. Disclaimer of Representations and Warranties.
    THE SERVICE AND ITS MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, EPSON DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. Epson does not warrant the accuracy and completeness of the Materials or services provided at the Service. Epson also does not warrant that any functions of the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Service or the server that makes it available is free from viruses or other harmful components. Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion of an implied warranty so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you in all circumstances.
  9. Limitation of Liability.
    IN NO EVENT WILL EPSON ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM YOUR ACCESS TO, USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE, OR FROM YOUR DOWNLOADING OF ANY MATERIALS OR SOFTWARE FROM THE SERVICE, EVEN IF EPSON OR ITS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS AT YOUR RISK. EPSON SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR GOODWILL, SERVICE INTERRUPTION, COMPUTER DAMAGE OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICE, ARISING OUT OR YOUR ACCESS TO, OR USE OF, THE SERVICE. Some jurisdictions may not allow a limitation or exclusion on damages, so the above may not apply in all circumstances. In no event shall Epson's total liability to you for all damages, losses, and causes of action (whether in contract, tort (including but not limited to negligence) or otherwise) exceed the greater of (i) the amount paid by you for the Service in the twelve (12) month period preceding the event giving rise to your claim; or (ii) fifty United States dollars ($50.00).
  10. Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief.
    YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN AN INJUNCTION OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND, SUCH AS ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF THE SERVICE OR ANY MATERIALS OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED OR CONTROLLED BY EPSON OR A LICENSOR OF EPSON.
  11. User Indemnification of Epson.
    On Epson’s request, you agree to defend, indemnity, and hold Epson and its partners, licensors, officers, directors, employees, and agent harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, damages and costs, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising from any claims, actions, or demands related to or alleged to relate to your use of the Service and your violation of these Terms. Epson reserves the right to control its own defense of any third-party claim that is subject to this indemnity and the parties agree to cooperate with each other in the conduct of such defense. You will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of Epson.
  12. Update to Terms.
    Epson may from time to time revise these Terms by updating this posting. Please visit this page periodically to review the current Terms because they are binding on you. We may also update the Terms by placing a special notice on the Service or by email to you. Your continued use of the Service will mean you accept any changes.
  13. Governing Law and General Provisions.
    1. Except for Section 7, these Terms, and any Additional Terms, shall be governed and construed under the laws in the State of California without regard to its conflicts of law rules. In the event of a Dispute in which the provisions in Section 7 are inapplicable, severed from the remainder of these Terms by a court of competent jurisdiction, or you opt-out pursuant to the provisions of Section 7, you and Epson both consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Los Angeles, California. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, related to or connected with the use of the Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever banned. These Terms will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
    2. Entire Agreement. These Terms are the entire agreement between the parties related to the Service and supersedes any purchase order, communication, advertisement, or representation concerning the Service. Subject to Section 7.8 and 7.9, if any provision herein, or in the Additional Terms, is found void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it will not affect the validity of the balance of the Agreement, which shall remain valid and enforceable according to its terms. These Terms may only be modified in writing signed by an authorized representative of Epson. Without prejudice to any other rights Epson has, your license rights under Section 2 above and your warranty rights under Section 8 above, shall automatically terminate upon failure by you to comply with its terms. Upon termination of such rights, you agree that the Software, and all copies thereof, will be immediately destroyed.
    3. Consent or Approval. No Epson consent or approval may be deemed to have been granted by Epson without being in writing and signed by an officer of Epson.
    4. Drafting Interpretation. You hereby waive any applicable statutory and common law that may permit a contract to be construed against its drafter. The summaries of provisions and section headings are provided for convenience only and shall not limit the full Terms.
    5. Assignment. Epson may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice. These Terms shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives.
