If you’re residing in, located in, or a citizen of the United States, when purchasing the Licensed Software, the following mechanism of dispute resolution applies to you.

This provision processes the fast and efficient resolution of any Disputes that may arise between you and Blacktail Technology. Arbitration is a type of private dispute resolution in which persons with a dispute drop their rights to file a lawsuit, to proceed in court and to a jury trial, and instead submit their disputes to a neutral third person (the arbitrator) for a binding decision. You, as the consumer, have all the rights, to opt out of this Provision (which will be explained below), which means you would retain your right to litigate your Disputes in a court, either before a judge or a jury.

Kindly read this Provision well. This provides that all the Disputes between you and Blacktail Technology (which is defined below, for this Provision) shall be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration replaces one’s right to go to court. If this arbitration is not present, you may have a right or opportunity to bring claims in court, before a judge or jury, and/or join in or be represented in a case filed in court by others (which includes, but not limited to, class actions). Except otherwise provided, entering into this agreement establishes a waiver of your right to litigate claims to be heard by a judge or jury. In arbitration, there’s no judge or jury, and court review in regards to an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator should follow this agreement and may award the same damages and relief as a court (which includes attorney’s fees).

For this Provision’s purpose, “Blacktail Technology” refers to Blacktail Technology and its parents, subsidiary, and partner companies, including each of their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents. “Dispute” refers to any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Blacktail Technology in regards to any aspect of your relationship with Blacktail Technology, whether based in contract, statute, ordinance, regulation, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, fraudulent indictment, misrepresentation, negligence), or any legal or equitable theory, including the validity, enforceability or scope of this Provision (except the enforceability of the Class Action Waiver clause written below). “Dispute” shall be given the broadest possible meaning that shall be enforced.

We each agree that, except as written below, any disputes, as written above, whether in existence presently or based on acts in the past or in the future, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration rather than in court.

Pre-Arbitration Claim Resolution. For all possible Disputes, whether in court or arbitration, you shall first allow Blacktail Technology to resolve the Dispute. You may perform this process by sending us an email at legal@blacktailtechnology.com The written notification should include:

Exlusions from Abritration or Right to Opt Out. Notwithstanding above, you or Blacktail Technology can choose to pursue a Dispute in court and not through arbitration if:

The Dispute qualifies to be processed in a small claims court.

You choose to opt-out of the arbitration procedures within thirty (30) days from the date that you first gave consent to this agreement (opt-out deadline). You can opt-out of this Provision by sending us a written notification by email to legal@blacktailtechnology.com. This written notification shall include:

  • Your Name

  • Clear Statement that you no longer want to resolve disputes with Blacktail Technology through arbitration.

If this Provision is not present, you and Blacktail Technology may otherwise have the right to take Disputes in a court before a judge or jury, and/or join or be represented in a case that’s filed in court by others (class actions included). Except as otherwise written below, those rights are waived. Other rights that you may possess if you went to court, including the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, can be more limited or may be waived.

Severability. If any clause in this Provision (apart from the Class Action Waiver clause above) is proven to be illegal or can’t be enforced, that clause will be severed from this Provision, and the remaining clauses of this Provision will be given full force and effect.
