- Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with the TOU, its enforcement or interpretation (“Dispute”) will be finally resolved solely in accordance with the terms of this Section 11. If a Dispute arises, the parties will endeavor to resolve the Dispute through good faith negotiation within forty-five (45) days of notification of the Dispute. If the Dispute cannot be settled through good faith negotiation, Tiba and You will submit the Dispute to non-binding mediation conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or any other mutually acceptable alternate dispute resolution organization. Each party shall bear its own expenses but those related to the compensation of the mediator shall be borne equally. The parties, their representatives, other participants and the mediator (and arbitrator, if any) shall hold the existence, content and result of mediation in confidence. If the Dispute is not resolved through mediation, claims may be brought in a Massachusetts state or federal court located within Middlesex County, Massachusetts and of competent jurisdiction; or claims may be resolved through binding arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tiba shall be entitled to take immediate legal action where required to protect its confidential or proprietary information, or to obtain any interim injunction. Actions on Disputes between the parties with respect to the TOU must be brought in accordance with this Section 11 within one (1) year after the cause of action arises or be forever waived and barred. All Disputes shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.

Subject to Section 11, the parties hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts for the purposes of adjudicating any matter arising from or in connection with this TOU. THE PARTIES UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS TOU AND/OR THE USE OF THE WEBSITE.
