- 9. MISCELLANEOUS
- 9.1. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.
- 9.1.1. This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction. The laws of the jurisdiction where Subscriber is located may be different from New York law. Subscriber shall always comply with all international and domestic laws, ordinances, regulations, and statutes that are applicable to its access to and use of the Services and/or Documentation.
- 9.1.2. Any dispute (including whether the claims asserted are arbitrable) arising out of or under this Agreement (“Dispute”) shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) and shall be administered by the New York, New York office of JAMS (the “Administrator”), except that (1) Subscriber may assert claims in small claims court in New York, New York if Subscriber’s claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) Subscriber or Grid.AI may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). To the extent there is any conflict between the provisions set forth in this section and any procedural or other rules issued by the Administrator, this section will control. The location of the arbitration will be New York, New York USA. The Dispute(s) shall be submitted to a single arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) chosen by the parties or selected by the parties from a list of potential arbitrators provided by the Administrator. The Administrator shall provide such list to the parties 10 days after request by either party. Should the parties be unable to agree on a choice of arbitrator within 10 days after receipt of the list from the Administrator, then the Administrator will select the Arbitrator. The arbitral proceedings, and all pleadings and written evidence will be in the English language. Any written evidence originally in a language other than English will be submitted in English translation accompanied by the original or true copy thereof. The English language version will control. Each party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator; provided, however, the Arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrator will not have authority to award damages in excess of the amount, or other than the types, allowed by Section 6 of this Agreement. Judgment on the award of the Arbitrators may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief it deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance. The arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties without appeal or review except as permitted by New York law or United States Federal law.
- 9.1.3. By using the Services in any manner, Subscriber agrees to the above arbitration provision. In doing so, SUBSCRIBER GIVES UP SUBSCRIBER’S RIGHT TO GO TO COURT (except as expressly set forth in Section 9.1.2) to assert or defend any claims between Subscriber and Grid.AI. SUBSCRIBER ALSO GIVES UP SUBSCRIBER’S RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER CLASS PROCEEDING. Subscriber’s rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. Subscriber is entitled to a fair hearing before the arbitrator. The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court can, but Subscriber should note that arbitration proceedings are usually simpler and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings. Decisions by the Arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
- 9.2. Notices. Where Grid.AI requires that Subscriber provide an email address, Subscriber is responsible for providing Grid.AI with its most current email address. In the event that the last email address Subscriber provided to Grid.AI is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to Subscriber any notices required/permitted by this Agreement, Grid.AI’s dispatch of the email containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. Subscriber may give Grid.AI notice at the following address: 32 Cooper Square #3, New York, NY 10003. Such notice will be deemed given when received by Grid.AI by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
- 9.3. Modifications. Grid.AI reserves the right, at its discretion, to amend this Agreement on a going-forward basis at any time. Please check this Agreement periodically for changes. Grid.AI may require Subscriber to consent to updates to this Agreement before further use of the Services is permitted.

- 9.4. Privacy. Grid.AI may collect certain personal information from Subscriber in accordance with its Privacy Policy available at grid.ai/privacy-policy, as amended from time to time.
- 9.5. Consent to Electronic Communication. The communications between Subscriber and Grid.AI use electronic means, whether Subscriber visits the Website or send Grid.AI emails, or whether Grid.AI posts notices on the Website or communicates with Subscriber via email. For contractual purposes, Subscriber (1) consents to receive communications from Grid.AI in an electronic form; and (2) agrees that all terms and conditions, agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Grid.AI provides to Subscriber electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications would satisfy if it were to be in writing. The foregoing does not affect Subscriber’s statutory rights.
- 9.6. General. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain enforceable and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. Subscriber shall not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer this Agreement, or its rights and obligations herein, without obtaining the prior written consent of Grid.AI, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or other operation of law, without any consent of the other party. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of amounts owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the cause of such delay and to resume performance as soon as possible. Subscriber’s relationship to Grid.AI is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Subscriber will not have, and will not represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of Grid.AI. This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matters hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matters.
