16. Governing Law and Arbitration; No Class Action

These Terms and Conditions, its subject matter and TriLingo’s and your respective rights under these Terms and Conditions, as well as and any claim, cause of action or dispute (“claim”) arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions, shall be governed by and construed only under the laws of the court of the Ranchi, Jharkhand – India, excluding the conflict of law provisions of that or any other jurisdiction, regardless of your country of origin or where you access the Service. ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR THE SERVICE WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION, RATHER THAN IN COURT, except for TriLingo’s right to seek injunctive relief as set forth below. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding.

 

If you do not want to arbitrate disputes with TriLingo and you are an individual, you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending an email to [email protected] within 30 days of the day you first access or use the Service.

 

If you intend to seek arbitration, you must first send a written notice to TriLingo’s Administration Office of your intent to arbitrate (“Notice”). The Notice to TriLingo should be sent by any of the following means:

 

(i) electronic mail to [email protected]; or

(ii) sending the Notice by Indian Postal Service certified mail to TriLingo – Alfred Technologies, 613, Sushma Niketan Road 03, Ward 13, Lobin Bagaan, Khunti 835210, Jharkhand India. The Notice must

(a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and

(b) set forth the specific relief sought; and

(c) set forth your name, address and contact information.

If we intend to seek arbitration against you, we will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND TRILINGO EACH AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND TRILINGO EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds the foregoing arbitration provisions invalid or inapplicable, you and TriLingo agree that all claims arising out of or related to these Terms and Conditions must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Ranchi in the state of Jharkhand of India, and you and TriLingo each agree to submit to the exercise of personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such claims. Notwithstanding the above, you agree that TriLingo shall still be allowed to apply for and obtain injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.

 

17. Language

This agreement was originally written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

 

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between TriLingo and you concerning the subject matter hereof. In the event that any of the Terms and Conditions are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms and Conditions shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. A waiver by TriLingo or you of any provision of these Terms and Conditions or any breach thereof, in any one instance, will not waive such term or condition or any subsequent breach thereof. TriLingo may assign its rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions without condition. These Terms and Conditions will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of TriLingo and you, and TriLingo’s and your respective successors and permitted assigns.
