Except as provided in Section 18 (Arbitration), any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services shall be instituted in either the state or federal courts of Summit County, Ohio, and we each consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts.

18. **Agreement to Arbitrate**

Before bringing a formal legal case, please first try contacting our Customer Support. Most disputes can be resolved that way.

- **We Both Agree to Arbitrate**. If we can't resolve our dispute through our customer support, you or any of your affiliates on the one hand and VoyceAdmins and any of VoyceAdmins affiliates on the other hand, all agree to resolve any dispute arising under these Terms, or Privacy Notices, or in relation to our Services by binding arbitration in Summit County, Ohio, or in another location that we have both agreed to.

This applies to all claims under any legal theory, unless the claim fits in one the exceptions below in Subsection 18.2 (Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate). It also applies even after you have stopped using your VoyceAdmins account or have deleted it. If we have a dispute about whether this agreement to arbitrate can be enforced or applies to our dispute, we all agree that the arbitrator will decide that, too.

- **Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate**. You and your affiliates on one hand, and VoyceAdmins and its affiliates on the other hand, agree that we will go to court to resolve disputes relating to:

- You, your affiliate's, VoyceAdmins or VoyceAdmins affiliates intellectual property (e.g., trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, or patents); or

- Your violation of VoyceAdmins AUP. Also, either Party can bring a claim in small claims court either in Summit County, Ohio, or some other place we both agree on if it qualifies to be brought in that court. In addition, if either Party brings a claim in court that should be arbitrated or any of us refuses to arbitrate a claim that should be arbitrated, the other Party can ask a court to force us to go to arbitration to resolve the claim (i.e., compel arbitration). Either Party may also ask a court to halt a court proceeding while an arbitration proceeding is ongoing.

- **Details of Arbitration Procedure**. Prior to filing any arbitration, both Parties jointly agree to seek to resolve any dispute between us by mediation conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA), with all mediator fees and expenses paid equally by the Parties. If mediation is not successful, either Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding with AAA. You can look at AAA's rules and procedures on their website http://www.adr.org or you can call them at 1-800-778-7879.

The arbitration will be governed by the then-current version of AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Rules") and will be held with a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Rules. To the extent this Section 18 conflicts with the Rules, the language of this Section 18 applies.

Each of us will be entitled to get a copy of non-privileged relevant documents in the possession or control of the other Party and to take a reasonable number of depositions. All such discovery will be in accordance with procedures approved by the arbitrator. This Section 18 does not alter in any way the statute of limitations that would apply to any claims or counterclaims asserted by either Party.

The arbitrator's award will be based on the evidence admitted and the substantive law of the State of Ohio and the United States, as applicable, and will contain an award for each issue and counterclaim. The award will provide in writing the factual findings and legal reasoning for such award. The arbitrator will not be entitled to modify these Terms.

Except as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act, the arbitration award will be final and binding on the Parties. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

- **Class Action Waiver**. Both you and your affiliates, on one hand, and VoyceAdmins and its affiliates on the other hand, agree that any claims or controversies between us must be brought against each other on an individual basis only. That means neither you and your affiliates on one hand nor VoyceAdmins and its affiliates on the other hand can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person's or entity's claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding (unless we agree otherwise). And, the arbitrator's decision or award in one person's or entity's case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other VoyceAdmins customers, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers.

If a court decides that this Subsection 18.4 (Class Action Waiver) is not enforceable or valid, then the entire Section 18 (Agreement to Arbitrate) will be null and void. However, the remainder of the Terms will still apply.

- In an event of slight negligence, the Parties shall be liable only for breaches of a material contractual obligation (cardinal duty).

VoyceAdmins will notify Customer via e-mail not less than 30 days prior to the effective date of any such amendment or modification and will inform you about the intended amendments or modifications. If you do not object to the amendment or modification within 30 days from aforementioned notice, such non-objection may be relied upon by VoyceAdmins as your consent to any such amendment. VoyceAdmins will inform you about your right to object and the consequences of non-objection with the aforementioned notice.
