16.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. This Section is referred to as the
“Arbitration Agreement.” You agree that any and all disputes or
claims that have arisen or may arise between you and KonTnT,
whether relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach
thereof), the KonTnT Services, any advertising, any aspect of the
relationship between us, or otherwise, shall be resolved
exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a
court in accordance with the terms of this Arbitration Agreement,
except that you may assert individual claims in small claims
court, if your claims qualify. Further, this Arbitration Agreement
does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of
federal, state, or local agencies, and such agencies can, if the
law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf. You agree that,
by entering into this Agreement, you and KonTnT are each waiving
the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a
judge or jury. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the
interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
16.2 YOU AND KONTNT AGREE THAT WE MAY EACH BRING CLAIMS AGAINST
THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR
CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR
PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND KONTNT AGREE OTHERWISE, THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR
PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A
CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE
ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND
DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING
RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF
NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S), EXCEPT THAT YOU
MAY PURSUE A CLAIM FOR AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD PUBLIC
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED FOR
THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PROVISION.

amicably and efficiently, and most user concerns regarding the
KonTnT Platform and/or KonTnT Services can be resolved quickly and
to the user’s satisfaction by emailing customer support at
hello@kontnt.app. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, a party who
intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by
certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute
(Notice). The Notice to KonTnT should be sent to [insert new
address, likely in the UAE]. The Notice must (a) describe the
nature and basis of the claim or dispute and (b) set forth the
specific relief sought. If KonTnT and you do not resolve the claim
within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, you
or KonTnT may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the
arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by KonTnT or
you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the
arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or KonTnT
is entitled.

decision, or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly
confidential for the benefit of all parties.

Arbitration Agreement other than Section 3 above is invalid or
unenforceable, the parties agree to replace such term or provision
with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that

unenforceable term or provision, and this Arbitration Agreement
shall be enforceable as so modified. If a court decides that any
provision in Section 3 is invalid or unenforceable, then the
entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void,
unless such provisions are deemed to be invalid or unenforceable
solely with respect to claims for public injunctive relief. The
remainder of the Terms of Service will continue to apply.

provision in this Agreement to the contrary, KonTnT agrees that if
it makes any future change to this Arbitration Agreement (other
than a change to the Notice Address) while you are a user of the
KonTnT Services, you may reject any such change by sending us
written notice within thirty (30) calendar days of the change to
the Notice Address provided above. By rejecting any future change,
you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in
accordance with the language of this Arbitration Agreement as of
the date you first accepted this Agreement (or accepted any
subsequent changes to this Agreement).
