SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF OR LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER. AS SUCH, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

EACH PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT PROVIDES FOR A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, OR EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES IS INTENDED TO AND DOES ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

14. GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
(a) Governing Law.
You and Portabl agree that this Agreement and the resolution of any disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice or conflicts of laws provisions or rules.
(b) Informal Dispute Resolution.
Where possible, we want to address any concerns or issues without needing a formal legal case. Before filing any claim against Portabl, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting support@getportabl.com. We will try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after submission, you or Portabl may bring a formal proceeding.
(c) Arbitration.
Any and all Disputes (regardless of basis or theory) shall be resolved by arbitration (except as expressly set forth herein) involving one arbitrator and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or its successor in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes, or other applicable rules as determined by the arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. in the English language, and, at the request of either party, result in a written statement of the facts and legal reasoning supporting the decision of the arbitrator(s). The arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law. Judgement on an award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award.
(d) Costs of Arbitration.
The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. If the value of your claim does not exceed $10,000, Portabl will pay for the reasonable filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
(e) Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate.
You may decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting support@getportabl.com within 30 days of first accepting this Agreement. Your communication must state that you decline this arbitration agreement, and it must include your first and last name.
(f) Exceptions to Arbitration.
Either you or Portabl may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring a lawsuit in any court of competent jurisdiction, solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or infringement of intellectual property rights, without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
(g) Waiver of Class and Collective Actions.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Portabl agree that (i) ANY DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES, THAT ONE PARTY MAY HAVE WITH THE OTHER PARTY, MAY ONLY BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND SHALL BE NOT BE ASSERTED AS A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, COURT OR ANY OTHER FORUM; AND (ii) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF. Disputes shall not be joined or consolidated with any other proceeding that involves any claim or controversy of any other party.
(h) Choice of Forum.
In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to any Dispute, you and Portabl agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Both you and Portabl consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. Each party agrees to waive and hereby waives its right to a jury trial.
(i) Limitation of Time to File Claims.
Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, each party agrees that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.

(d) Waiver and Severability.
The failure of a party to require performance of any provision by the other party shall not affect the right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. In the event that any part of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part shall be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
