Each Party further consents to the exercise of personal jurisdiction by any such court with respect to any such proceeding.
  • Jurisdiction Outside the United States. If Your principal place of business or primary residence is located outside of the United States, then all questions or disputes regarding the interpretation, performance, or enforceability of these Term and Conditions, or the rights and remedies of the Parties hereunder, shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, with such arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect on the date the proceeding is initiated. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the State of Texas, United States without giving effect to any conflict of laws rules or principles. The arbitration hearing and all related proceedings shall be conducted in Texas and in the English language. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and non-appealable. Judgment on the award or decision rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall have the authority to settle any controversy, claim or dispute by finding that a Party should be enjoined from certain actions or be compelled to undertake certain actions, and in such event a court of competent jurisdiction may enter an order enjoining and/or compelling such actions as found by the arbitrator. Except to the extent required by applicable law, the Parties agree to keep confidential the nature of the controversy, claims, and dispute submitted to arbitration, all submissions made by the Parties in connection with any arbitration proceeding or hearing, and the content of the arbitration proceedings and hearings. This Section 14.3 does not limit either party’s right to provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, during, or after arbitration, and the exercise of any such remedy does not waive either party’s right to arbitration. Judgment on an arbitration award may be entered by any court with competent jurisdiction. Any requirement in this Agreement to pay or reimburse court costs or attorneys’ fees includes, without limitation, a requirement to reimburse costs and fees related to such arbitration. This Agreement is subject to the operation of the 1958 United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards
