10. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. A. Mandatory Arbitration You and Nesa agree to resolve any claims arising out of or relating to this Terms of Service, regardless of when the claim arose, even if it was before this Terms of Service existed (a “Dispute”), through final and binding arbitration. You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days of account creation or of any updates to these arbitration terms within 30 days after the update has taken effect by emailing us your opt out notice at [email protected]. If you opt out of an update, the last set of agreed upon arbitration terms will apply. B. Informal Dispute Resolution We would like to understand and try to address your concerns prior to formal legal action. Before either of Us files a claim against the other, We both agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally. You agree to do so by sending Us notice through an email to [email protected]. We will do so by sending you notice to the email address associated with your account. If We are unable to resolve a Dispute within 60 days, either of Us has the right to initiate arbitration. We also both agree to attend an individual settlement conference if either party requests one during this time. Any statute of limitations will be tolled during this informal resolution process. C. Arbitration Forum If We are unable to resolve the Dispute, either of Us may commence arbitration with the National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) under its Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures and/or Supplemental Rules for Mass Arbitration Filings, as applicable, available here (opens in a new window). Nesa will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. The activities described in this Terms of Service involve interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration terms and any arbitration. D. Arbitration Procedures The arbitration will be conducted by videoconference if possible, but if the arbitrator determines a hearing should be conducted in person, the location will be mutually agreed upon, in the county where you reside, or as determined by the arbitrator, unless the batch arbitration process described in Section 18 G. below applies. The arbitration will be conducted by a sole arbitrator. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of New York. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, except the state or federal courts of New York, New York have the authority to determine any Dispute about enforceability, validity of the class action waiver, or requests for public injunctive relief, as set out below. Any settlement offer amounts will not be disclosed to the arbitrator by either party until after the arbitrator determines the final award, if any. The arbitrator has the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute. E. Exceptions This section does not require informal dispute resolution or arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the services provided by Nesa on the Nesa Chain or intellectual property infringement or misappropriation. F. Class and Jury Trial Waivers You and Nesa agree that Disputes must be brought on an individual basis only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations, class actions, and representative actions are prohibited. Only individual relief is available. The parties agree to sever and litigate in court any request for public injunctive relief after completing arbitration for the underlying claim and all other claims. This does not prevent either party from participating in a class-wide settlement. You and Nesa knowingly and irrevocably waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim. G. Batch Arbitration If 25 or more claimants represented by the same or similar counsel file demands for arbitration raising substantially similar Disputes within 90 days of each other, then you and Nesa agree that NAM will administer them in batches of up to 50 claimants each (each a “Batch”), unless there are less than 50 claimants in total or after batching, which will comprise a single Batch. NAM will administer each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing held by videoconference or in a location decided by the arbitrator for each Batch. If any part of this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claimant or Batch, it will be severed and arbitrated in individual proceedings. H. Severability If any part of these arbitration terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder will remain in effect, except that if a finding of partial illegality or unenforceability would allow class arbitration, class action, or representative action, this entire dispute resolution section will be unenforceable in its entirety.

In the event of a conflict between these Terms and any additional terms, rules and conditions of participation, the latter will prevail over these Terms to the extent of the conflict.

F. Waiver and Severability of Terms The failure of Nesa to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.

G. Statute of Limitations You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the use of the Service or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or another period as provided under statute or law, or be forever barred.
