This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to its conflict of laws principles (but excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods); provided, however, that the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act will not apply even if adopted as part of the laws of the State of Delaware. If any dispute arises concerning the interpretation, validity, or performance of this Agreement or any of its terms and provisions, including but not limited to the issue of whether or not a dispute is arbitrable, (a) if the amount claimed by a party is equal to or less than the jurisdictional limit of the Delaware Small Claims Court, then the parties shall resolve such matter in the Delaware Small Claims Court, or (b) if the amount claimed by the party exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Delaware Small Claims Court, then the parties shall submit such dispute for binding arbitration before a retired judge selected from JAMS/Endispute or any similar organization mutually acceptable to the parties. The parties shall mutually agree on one arbitrator from the list provided by the arbitrating organization; provided that if the parties cannot agree, then each party shall select one arbitrator from the list, and the two arbitrators so selected shall agree upon a third arbitrator chosen from the same list, which third arbitrator shall determine the dispute. The arbitration shall take place in Delaware, and shall be conducted in accordance with the then prevailing rules of the arbitrating organization, except as set forth in this Section. The arbitrator shall apply Delaware substantive law and the Delaware evidentiary law to the proceeding. The arbitrator shall have the power to grant all legal and equitable remedies including provisional remedies and award compensatory damages provided by law, but the arbitrator may not order relief in excess of what a court could order. The arbitrator shall not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages or any other damages not permitted under this Agreement. The arbitrator shall prepare and provide the parties with a written award including factual findings and the legal reasoning upon which the award is based. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning or to make findings of fact except upon sufficiency of the evidence. Any award that contains errors of law or legal reasoning or makes findings of fact except upon the sufficiency of the evidence exceeds the power of the arbitrator, and may be corrected or vacated as provided by applicable law. The arbitrator shall award costs and attorneys' fees in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any court having jurisdiction may enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator, or correct or vacate such award as provided by applicable law. The parties understand that by agreement to binding arbitration they are giving up the rights they may otherwise have to trial by a court or a jury and all rights of appeal, and to an award of punitive or exemplary damages. Pending resolution of any arbitration proceeding, either party may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for any provisional remedy, including but not limited to a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction but excluding any dispute relating to discovery matters, and for enforcement of any such order. The application for or enforcement of any provisional remedy by a party shall not operate as a waiver of the within agreement to submit a dispute to binding arbitration. Subject to the terms of this Section 24, the exclusive venue for any suit or proceeding brought as a result of this Agreement shall be the appropriate federal or state court in Delaware, and you hereby expressly consent to such exclusive jurisdiction and waive objections to venue therein. NOTICE OF ARBITRATION AGREEMENT: This agreement provides that all disputes between you and Ringba will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. You thus GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract (EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to SMALL CLAIMS COURT).Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are generally SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. FOR MORE DETAILS visit: http://www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration.

25. Prior Notice of Claim

For all disputes you may have with Ringba or regarding the Services, you must first give Ringba an opportunity to resolve the dispute by providing written notification to legal@ringba.com stating (i) your name, (ii) your address, (iii) a written description of your Claim, and (iv) a description of the specific relief you seek. If Ringba does not resolve such dispute within 30 days after it receives your written notification, you may pursue your dispute as set forth above in Section 24.

26. SUBPOENA EXPENSES

If Ringba has to provide information in response to a subpoena related to your account, then Ringba may charge you or your company for Ringba's costs. Such charges may include fees for attorney and employee time spent retrieving records, preparing documents and participating in depositions or other legal process as well as other costs incurred in complying with such legal processes.

27. Entire Agreement

Except for a Master Services Agreement entered into between you and Ringba, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Ringba and you concerning your use of the Ringba Website and Services and supersedes all prior agreements (if any). The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. The word "including" means including without limitation. A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement. In such an event, this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein, unless the deletion of such provision or provisions would result in such a material change so as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated herein to be unreasonable. Neither Ringba nor you is an agent, joint venture, employee or partner of the other. This Agreement, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Ringba's prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon assignees.
