You and TBird mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the TBird Platform, the Services, or the Collective Content will be settled by binding arbitration.
This Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement shall apply if you (i) reside in Canada; or (ii) do not reside in Canada, but bring any claim against TBirdapp Ltd. in Canada.
Overview of Dispute Resolution Process. TBird is committed to participating in a consumer-friendly dispute resolution process. To that end, these Terms provide for a two-part process for individuals to whom Section 19.1 applies: (1) an informal negotiation directly with TBird’s customer service team, and (2) a binding arbitration administered by the Canadian Arbitration Association (“CAA”) using its specially designed Consumer Arbitration Rules.
Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. Prior to initiating an arbitration, you and TBird each agree to notify the other party of the dispute and attempt to negotiate an informal resolution to it first. We will contact you at the email address you have provided to us; you can contact TBird’s customer service team by emailing us. If after a good faith effort to negotiate one of us feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.
Agreement to Arbitrate. You and TBird mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement or interpretation thereof, or to the use of the TBird Platform, its Services, or the Collective Content (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applied to our Dispute, you and TBird agree that the arbitrator will decide on that issue.
Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. You and TBird each agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction: (i) Any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) Any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (e.g., imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, cyber-attack).
Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitration will be administered by CAA in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “CAA Rules“) then in effect, except as modified here.
Modification of CAA Rules - Attorney’s Fees and Costs. TBird holds the right to not recover your attorneys fees and expenses. If you decide to file to arbitration you acknowledge that you will cover all the fees and costs associated with it.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator’s decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court with proper jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only on an individual basis and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim.
Jury Trial Waiver. You and TBird acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all arbitrable Disputes.
No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. You and TBird acknowledge and agree that we are each waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, private attorney-general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Further, unless you and TBird both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this paragraph is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute.
Changes. If TBird changed this Section (“Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement”) after the date you last accepted these Terms, you are held accountable to check back on the Terms. You may reject any such change by sending us written notice (by email) within (10) days of the date such change became effective. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and TBird in accordance with the provisions of the “Dispute Resolution and Arbitration Agreement” section as of the date you last accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changed to these Terms).
Survival. This section will survive any termination of these Terms and will continue to apply even if you stop using the TBird Platform or terminate your TBird Account.
We welcome and encourage you to provide feedback, comments and suggestions for improvements to the TBird Platform (“Feedback”). You may submit Feedback by emailing us through the Contact section on our Website or through the TBird Mobile App. Any feedback you submit to us will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary to you. By submitting Feedback to us, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, irrevocable, sub-licensable, perpetual license to use and publish those ideas and materials for any purpose, without compensation to you.
If you reside in Canada, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of Ontario, Canada, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.
If you reside in China these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of China (“China Laws”). Any dispute arising from or in connection with this Agreement shall be submitted to the China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) for arbitration in Beijing which shall be conducted in accordance with CIETAC’s arbitration rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration, provided that this section shall not be construed to limit any rights which TBird may have to apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for an order requiring you to perform or be prohibited from performing certain acts and other provisional relief permitted under China Laws or any other laws that may apply to you. The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English. The arbitral award rendered is final and binding upon both parties.
If you reside outside of the United States and China, these Terms will be interpreted in accordance with Irish law. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) is excluded. The choice of law does not impact your rights as a consumer according to the consumer protection regulations of your country of residence. If you are acting as a consumer, you agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts. Judicial proceedings that you are able to bring against us arising from or in connection with these Terms may only be brought in a court located in Ireland or a court with jurisdiction in your place of residence. If TBird wishes to enforce any of its rights against you as a consumer, we may do so only in the courts of the jurisdiction in which you are a resident. If you are acting as a business, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
You agree not to use any technical, financial, strategic and other proprietary and confidential information relating to TBird’s business, operations and properties, including User information (“Confidential Information”) disclosed to you by TBird for your own use for any purpose other than as contemplated herein.
