8. Rewards Programs

A. In connection with your use of the Applications/Services, you may have the opportunity to accumulate rewards, incentives and entries into prize draws or sweepstakes. Incentives may be in the form of points or program/panel currency ("Panel Currency"). Panel Currency has no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash; Panel Currency may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold and is not transferrable upon death, by gift, as part of a domestic relations matter, or otherwise, except by operation of law. Information, official rules and terms and conditions for rewards, incentives and prize draws or sweepstakes may be available in these Terms, on the Website for a Panel, at the beginning or end of a survey, in survey invitations, on the website(s) or webpage(s) for redeeming rewards, incentives, and prizes, and/or may be described in any newsletter or other communication distributed or published by Dynata.

The various types of incentives and rewards Dynata may provide are to encourage participation in the Panel and are not compensation for time spent. Any points or Panel Currency that is earned or paid to you or any reward that is redeemed by you for participation in the Research or other activity on a Panel is not calculated based on time spent by you. Similarly, any consideration paid to or points earned by you for participation is not pro-rated on an hourly basis or otherwise.

B. All points or Panel Currency posted to a Panel member's account expire one (1) year following posting, unless the points or Panel Currency are forfeited or canceled earlier due to membership or account inactivity or as otherwise set forth in these Terms. Panel member accounts are not actual bank or financial accounts and do not accrue or accumulate interest of any kind.

C. Points or Panel Currency posted in connection with the Applications/Services do not constitute property of the Panel member, cannot be transferred during or after the Panel member's life, by operation of law or otherwise, and have no value until presented by the Panel member for redemption in accordance with these Terms.

D. In the event that any points, Panel Currency, or incentive have been erroneously posted to a Panel member's account, Dynata may remove them from the Panel member's account.

E. In the event that any points, Panel Currency, or incentive have been obtained and/or posted to a Panel member's account through fraudulent means, Dynata will remove them from the Panel member's account and the account may be suspended and/or terminated.

F. Redemption

(1) Points or Panel Currency will be deducted from the Panel member's account at the time the redemption request is made.

(2) All redemptions are final, and rewards may not be returned for credit except as otherwise provided in these Terms or as otherwise agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Dynata.

(3) The minimum points or Panel Currency redemption threshold required to redeem a reward is the equivalent of Fifty United States Dollars ($50). Unless there is a lower redemption option available, if you do not satisfy the foregoing threshold, you will not have a redemption option under Dynata's rewards program. Dynata reserves the right to provide reward options with lower minimum redemption thresholds without prior notice to or consent from you.

G. Dynata may modify, alter, delete or add new terms and conditions for its rewards program or the Applications/Services at any time without notice. For Dynata this includes, but is not limited to, modifying, altering, adding or deleting point values, redemption levels, conversion ratios, conditions for status, conditions for membership and conditions for earning incentives or rewards, at any time without notice. In addition, Dynata may terminate or cease offering any incentive or reward in connection with Dynata's rewards program, at any time without notice.

H. You may not combine your points or Panel Currency with points or Panel Currency belonging to any other member, including, but not limited to, any family member or friend.

I. Dynata make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding any product or service received in connection with Dynata's rewards program, including, but not limited to, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Dynata is not, and will not be, liable or responsible for the performance of, or for the failure of the performance of, any product or service for which points or Panel Currency, incentives or rewards are redeemed. In addition, Dynata is not and will not be responsible or liable for any cost, damage, accident, delay, injury, loss, expense or inconvenience that may arise in connection with the use of, or defect in, any product or service for which points, Panel Currency, incentives or rewards are redeemed. Dynata will not replace any lost, stolen, misplaced or damaged incentives or rewards.

J. YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE POINTS, PANEL CURRENCY, INCENTIVES OR REWARDS EARNED THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS/SERVICES MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAX, WHICH IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PANEL MEMBER. Dynata may provide you and/or the appropriate government agency or taxing authority with information related to any payments or incentives you earn in connection with your use of the Applications/Services. You agree to provide Dynata with all required information to assist Dynata in complying with its reporting or withholding obligations. Dynata may withhold any tax from any incentive or reward as required by applicable law.

K. Every month Dynata donates USD $10,000 to American Red Cross. This donation is separate to the incentives you receive for surveys and does not come from your points balance. This does not constitute a donation on your behalf so is not tax deductible for you and is not dependent on the number of surveys in which members participate; it is one way Dynata is aiming to give back to the global community.

L. Dynata uses reasonable efforts to ensure that points or Panel Currency are credited and debited appropriately; however, the Panel member should review their account to ensure that their account correctly identifies the posted points or Panel Currency, incentives, or rewards, and reflects all of the appropriate redemption transactions. If you feel that your account was not credited or debited correctly or reflects incorrect redemption transactions, please send an email to customerservice@gobranded.com. Any email sent to Dynata should include the Panel member's name, email address and specific information on the subject matter. Dynata will use reasonable efforts to investigate the matter and to respond back to the Panel member promptly. Dynata's decision is final and binding.

M. The suppliers or providers of the products or services offered in connection with Dynata's rewards program and/or the owners or operators of the website(s)/webpage(s) on which redemption transactions occur, may have their own terms and conditions; please review these terms and conditions carefully.

N. Personal information may have to be collected, processed and/or disclosed in connection with Dynata's rewards program and/or any request to redeem a reward or incentive. By agreeing to these Terms, you hereby agree to the collection, processing and/or disclosure of your personal information for such purpose(s) and all such personal information shall be subject to the terms set forth in Dynata's Privacy Policy. Redemption of Virtual Mastercard® or Visa® may require verification of your identity by the financial institution responsible for issuing your Virtual Mastercard® and Visa®, and that such verification may require you to provide your date of birth, tax identification number, and similar information.

O. If a Panel member elects to donate points or Panel Currency to one of the charities approved by Dynata, Dynata will donate said points or Panel Currency to the selected charity. The donation is not made by or on behalf of Dynata and Dynata does not and will not match any donation. Please note that the donation option is not available on every panel owned and/or operated by or on behalf of Dynata. Please check the redemption options available for the panel to which you belong.

P. Your daily limit on the redemption of points or Panel Currency is limited to two (2) redemptions per 24-hour period.

Q. In the United States, Dynata has an obligation to: (i) provide a W-9 tax form to individuals who receive payments (whether via the redemption of points or Panel Currency or other means) of $600 or more in a tax year; and (ii) file a 1099-Misc form with the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for such payments. In addition, Dynata will provide you with a completed 1099-Misc form for your tax compliance purposes. As a result, please see the following:

(1) If you have received payments of $599 during a tax year, your account will be suspended (i.e., you will not be able to receive further payments and will not be able to complete or participate in surveys) for the remainder of the applicable tax year unless and until you provide Dynata with a completed and verified W-9 form.

(2) If you have received payments of $600 or more during a tax year, your account will be suspended indefinitely (i.e., you will not be able to receive further payments and will not be able to complete or participate in surveys) unless and until you provide Dynata with a completed and verified W-9 form. In this case, your account will not be reinstated at the beginning of the next tax year, unless or until you provide Dynata with a completed and verified W-9 form.

21. Severability

If any term or provision of these Terms shall be held or declared to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such term or provision shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the application and/or interpretation of these Terms. The remaining terms or provisions of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect, as if the invalid or unenforceable term or provision was not a part of these Terms.

22. Arbitration Agreement (United States only)

All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms, use of any product or service provided by Dynata, or related to the processing of personal data, that cannot be resolved informally or on an individual basis in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Section 22 (this "Arbitration Agreement"). Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings will be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Dynata, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Dynata should be sent to: 4 Research Drive, Suite 300, Shelton, Connecticut 06484 USA; ATTN: Arbitration Notice. After the Notice is received, you and Dynata may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Dynata do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

Arbitration shall be initiated through the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS"), an established alternative dispute resolution provider ("ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules (the "JAMS Rules") governing the arbitration are available online at https://www.jamsadr.com/. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney's fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

If you or Dynata pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the JAMS Rules for the pertinent claim.

If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Dynata, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim (including any claim regarding the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement or any unconscionability in connection with these Terms). The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the JAMS Rules, and the Terms. 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 has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Dynata.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Dynata in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable with regards to any particular subject matter by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect with regard to such specific subject matter and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Dynata.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Dynata may bring an individual action in small claims court.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA for such purpose.

A. In connection with your use of the Applications/Services, you may have the opportunity to accumulate rewards, incentives and entries into prize draws or sweepstakes. Incentives may be in the form of points or program/panel currency ("Panel Currency"). Panel Currency has no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash; Panel Currency may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold and is not transferrable upon death, by gift, as part of a domestic relations matter, or otherwise, except by operation of law. Information, official rules and terms and conditions for rewards, incentives and prize draws or sweepstakes may be available in these Terms, on the Website for a Panel, at the beginning or end of a survey, in survey invitations, on the website(s) or webpage(s) for redeeming rewards, incentives, and prizes, and/or may be described in any newsletter or other communication distributed or published by Dynata.

The various types of incentives and rewards Dynata may provide are to encourage participation in the Panel and are not compensation for time spent. Any points or Panel Currency that is earned or paid to you or any reward that is redeemed by you for participation in the Research or other activity on a Panel is not calculated based on time spent by you. Similarly, any consideration paid to or points earned by you for participation is not pro-rated on an hourly basis or otherwise.

B. All points or Panel Currency posted to a Panel member's account expire one (1) year following posting, unless the points or Panel Currency are forfeited or canceled earlier due to membership or account inactivity or as otherwise set forth in these Terms. Panel member accounts are not actual bank or financial accounts and do not accrue or accumulate interest of any kind.

C. Points or Panel Currency posted in connection with the Applications/Services do not constitute property of the Panel member, cannot be transferred during or after the Panel member's life, by operation of law or otherwise, and have no value until presented by the Panel member for redemption in accordance with these Terms.

D. In the event that any points, Panel Currency, or incentive have been erroneously posted to a Panel member's account, Dynata may remove them from the Panel member's account.

E. In the event that any points, Panel Currency, or incentive have been obtained and/or posted to a Panel member's account through fraudulent means, Dynata will remove them from the Panel member's account and the account may be suspended and/or terminated.

F. Redemption

(1) Points or Panel Currency will be deducted from the Panel member's account at the time the redemption request is made.

(2) All redemptions are final, and rewards may not be returned for credit except as otherwise provided in these Terms or as otherwise agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Dynata.

(3) The minimum points or Panel Currency redemption threshold required to redeem a reward is the equivalent of Fifty United States Dollars ($50). Unless there is a lower redemption option available, if you do not satisfy the foregoing threshold, you will not have a redemption option under Dynata's rewards program. Dynata reserves the right to provide reward options with lower minimum redemption thresholds without prior notice to or consent from you.

G. Dynata may modify, alter, delete or add new terms and conditions for its rewards program or the Applications/Services at any time without notice. For Dynata this includes, but is not limited to, modifying, altering, adding or deleting point values, redemption levels, conversion ratios, conditions for status, conditions for membership and conditions for earning incentives or rewards, at any time without notice. In addition, Dynata may terminate or cease offering any incentive or reward in connection with Dynata's rewards program, at any time without notice.

H. You may not combine your points or Panel Currency with points or Panel Currency belonging to any other member, including, but not limited to, any family member or friend.

I. Dynata make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding any product or service received in connection with Dynata's rewards program, including, but not limited to, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. Dynata is not, and will not be, liable or responsible for the performance of, or for the failure of the performance of, any product or service for which points or Panel Currency, incentives or rewards are redeemed. In addition, Dynata is not and will not be responsible or liable for any cost, damage, accident, delay, injury, loss, expense or inconvenience that may arise in connection with the use of, or defect in, any product or service for which points, Panel Currency, incentives or rewards are redeemed. Dynata will not replace any lost, stolen, misplaced or damaged incentives or rewards.

J. YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE POINTS, PANEL CURRENCY, INCENTIVES OR REWARDS EARNED THROUGH THE APPLICATIONS/SERVICES MAY BE SUBJECT TO TAX, WHICH IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PANEL MEMBER. Dynata may provide you and/or the appropriate government agency or taxing authority with information related to any payments or incentives you earn in connection with your use of the Applications/Services. You agree to provide Dynata with all required information to assist Dynata in complying with its reporting or withholding obligations. Dynata may withhold any tax from any incentive or reward as required by applicable law.

K. Every month Dynata donates USD $10,000 to American Red Cross. This donation is separate to the incentives you receive for surveys and does not come from your points balance. This does not constitute a donation on your behalf so is not tax deductible for you and is not dependent on the number of surveys in which members participate; it is one way Dynata is aiming to give back to the global community.

L. Dynata uses reasonable efforts to ensure that points or Panel Currency are credited and debited appropriately; however, the Panel member should review their account to ensure that their account correctly identifies the posted points or Panel Currency, incentives, or rewards, and reflects all of the appropriate redemption transactions. If you feel that your account was not credited or debited correctly or reflects incorrect redemption transactions, please send an email to customerservice@gobranded.com. Any email sent to Dynata should include the Panel member's name, email address and specific information on the subject matter. Dynata will use reasonable efforts to investigate the matter and to respond back to the Panel member promptly. Dynata's decision is final and binding.

M. The suppliers or providers of the products or services offered in connection with Dynata's rewards program and/or the owners or operators of the website(s)/webpage(s) on which redemption transactions occur, may have their own terms and conditions; please review these terms and conditions carefully.

N. Personal information may have to be collected, processed and/or disclosed in connection with Dynata's rewards program and/or any request to redeem a reward or incentive. By agreeing to these Terms, you hereby agree to the collection, processing and/or disclosure of your personal information for such purpose(s) and all such personal information shall be subject to the terms set forth in Dynata's Privacy Policy. Redemption of Virtual Mastercard® or Visa® may require verification of your identity by the financial institution responsible for issuing your Virtual Mastercard® and Visa®, and that such verification may require you to provide your date of birth, tax identification number, and similar information.

O. If a Panel member elects to donate points or Panel Currency to one of the charities approved by Dynata, Dynata will donate said points or Panel Currency to the selected charity. The donation is not made by or on behalf of Dynata and Dynata does not and will not match any donation. Please note that the donation option is not available on every panel owned and/or operated by or on behalf of Dynata. Please check the redemption options available for the panel to which you belong.

P. Your daily limit on the redemption of points or Panel Currency is limited to two (2) redemptions per 24-hour period.

Q. In the United States, Dynata has an obligation to: (i) provide a W-9 tax form to individuals who receive payments (whether via the redemption of points or Panel Currency or other means) of $600 or more in a tax year; and (ii) file a 1099-Misc form with the United States Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") for such payments. In addition, Dynata will provide you with a completed 1099-Misc form for your tax compliance purposes. As a result, please see the following:

(1) If you have received payments of $599 during a tax year, your account will be suspended (i.e., you will not be able to receive further payments and will not be able to complete or participate in surveys) for the remainder of the applicable tax year unless and until you provide Dynata with a completed and verified W-9 form.

(2) If you have received payments of $600 or more during a tax year, your account will be suspended indefinitely (i.e., you will not be able to receive further payments and will not be able to complete or participate in surveys) unless and until you provide Dynata with a completed and verified W-9 form. In this case, your account will not be reinstated at the beginning of the next tax year, unless or until you provide Dynata with a completed and verified W-9 form.

If you have any questions, please contact privacy_branded@dynata.com.

Panel members agree to notify Dynata promptly of any changes in or to the information contained in their member profile. Panel members agree to review and update their membership profiles as necessary but no less frequently than once every six (6) months. A Panel member may update, correct and/or delete information contained in his or her membership profile by: (i) accessing his or her Panel membership account; or (ii) sending an email to the appropriate Panel member services team for the appropriate Panel.

Panel members may opt out from using the Applications/Services (including, without limitation, from receiving newsletters or communications), at any time, by: (i) following the unsubscribe procedures described on the applicable Website(s) or contained in any email received from Dynata; or (ii) sending an email to the Panel member services team. Dynata shall use reasonable efforts to read and respond to each email request within a reasonable period of time after receipt. Upon termination, a Panel member's contact information will be removed from any further communication or contact lists. Please allow a few days for the complete removal of contact information from Dynata's communication or contact lists for the applicable Panel; during which period the member may receive communications which were created or compiled prior to termination. Please see Dynata's Privacy Policy for information on how Dynata handles information and data following an unsubscribe, termination or opt-out request ("Dynata's Privacy Policy").

You acknowledge and agree that you will comply with all applicable international, national, Federal, state and/or local laws, codes, regulations, rules and/or requirements ("Applicable Laws") regarding your use of, participation, in, and/or access to the Applications/Services.

Either party may terminate your membership with a Panel at any time, with or without cause, for any reason or for no reason, and without liability for the termination.

In addition to any and all other available remedies, Dynata may, without notice, suspend and/or terminate your use of, access to, and/or participation in the Applications/Services if you are in breach or violation of these Terms.

If any term or provision of these Terms shall be held or declared to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such term or provision shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the application and/or interpretation of these Terms. The remaining terms or provisions of these Terms shall continue in full force and effect, as if the invalid or unenforceable term or provision was not a part of these Terms.

All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms, use of any product or service provided by Dynata, or related to the processing of personal data, that cannot be resolved informally or on an individual basis in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Section 22 (this "Arbitration Agreement"). Unless otherwise agreed, all arbitration proceedings will be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and Dynata, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Terms.

Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to Dynata should be sent to: 4 Research Drive, Suite 300, Shelton, Connecticut 06484 USA; ATTN: Arbitration Notice. After the Notice is received, you and Dynata may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and Dynata do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

Arbitration shall be initiated through the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS"), an established alternative dispute resolution provider ("ADR Provider") that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules (the "JAMS Rules") governing the arbitration are available online at https://www.jamsadr.com/. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney's fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

If non-appearance-based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration. The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

If you or Dynata pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the JAMS Rules for the pertinent claim.

If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Dynata, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim (including any claim regarding the enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement or any unconscionability in connection with these Terms). The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the JAMS Rules, and the Terms. 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 has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Dynata.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Dynata in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE COMPANY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable with regards to any particular subject matter by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect with regard to such specific subject matter and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Dynata.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Dynata may bring an individual action in small claims court.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA for such purpose.

These Terms and your access to, use of or participation in the Applications/Services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Connecticut, USA, without regard to any portion of any choice of law principles (whether those of Connecticut or any other jurisdiction) that might provide for application of a different jurisdiction's laws. All claims or disputes arising in connection with these Terms and/or your access to, use of or participation in the Applications/Services shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or Federal courts located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, USA.

The headings contained in these Terms are for reference only and shall have no effect on the interpretation and/or application of these Terms. Dynata's failure to enforce a breach by you of these Terms shall not waive or release you from such breach and shall not waive, release or prevent Dynata from enforcing any subsequent breach by you of these Terms. These Terms and any rules, terms or policies referenced herein or incorporated herein, and any Panel-specific requirements, represent the entire understanding and agreement between Dynata and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.
