12. Dispute Resolution Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

Any dispute arising from the relationships between the Parties to this contract shall be determined by one arbitrator who will be chosen in accordance with the Arbitration and Internal Rules of the European Court of Arbitration, a part of the European Centre of Arbitration with its seat in Strasbourg. These rules are in effect at the time the arbitration application is filed and the adoption of this clause constitutes acceptance. The arbitration will be conducted in Greece, and the proceedings will be conducted in the Greek language. The applicable rules of substantive law shall be the law of Greece.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law:

(a) No arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding.
(b) There is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures.
(c) There is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:

(a) Any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party.
(b) Any Dispute related to or arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use.
(c) Any claim for injunctive relief.

If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above. The Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
