ONLINEBESTNEWS’S AND ONLINEBESTNEWS PARTIES’ TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR BASED ON YOUR USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR SITE SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO ONLINEBESTNEWS TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR SITE.

SECTION 7: NOTIFICATION OF DISPUTE

By using the Software and/or Site, you agree to final, binding arbitration of all claims. OnlineBestNews believes that most issues and user concerns can be resolved in good faith before legal proceedings. As such, in the event you have an issue or concern with OnlineBestNews, the Software, or the Site, you agree to first send an email notice to detailing your claim and requested relief. If OnlineBestNews is unable to resolve your dispute within sixty (60) days of receipt of your notice, you may proceed to initiate the arbitration proceeding or any other proceedings authorized herein.

SECTION 8: ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

To the extent you have any claim, controversy or dispute with OnlineBestNews arising out of or relating to this Agreement based on your use of the Site or Software, such claim, controversy, or dispute shall be resolved by final, binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the "Rules"). If there is no hearing requested, the parties will submit their arguments and evidence directly to the arbitrator in writing and the arbitrator will then make an award based solely on the documents that were provided, known as a Desk Arbitration. If a hearing is requested in writing by either party within ten (10) days after AAA acknowledges receipt of the demand for arbitration, or if it is the arbitrator requests a hearing, the parties shall participate in a telephone hearing. The parties agree that in no event shall either party be required to travel to participate in the arbitration. This section is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. Either party may enforce this section in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If there are any challenges to the arbitrability of a claim, this shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitral award shall be enforceable judicially and any court of competent jurisdiction may enter judgment on the arbitral award.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules, the Federal Rules of Evidence shall govern the admissibility of evidence in any arbitral proceeding.

Both you and OnlineBestNews waive the right to bring any claim related to this Agreement on a class-wide basis or participate in a representative capacity in a class action brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules, the arbitrator shall not have the authority to hear the arbitration on a class-wide basis or otherwise combine your claim with those of different persons into a single proceeding.

If a class action is initiated notwithstanding the above restriction, and it is finally determined by the arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction that the class action waiver herein is not enforceable, then the proceedings shall be bifurcated as follows, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Rules. The issue of arbitrability shall be determined by the arbitrator under applicable rules and law. To the extent the arbitrator concludes that the arbitration may proceed, the arbitration shall be stayed, and the issue of class certification shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not have authority or jurisdiction to decide class certification issues. The decision to certify or not certify a class action shall be appealable in the judicial proceedings consistent with applicable rules and laws. Once any issues regarding class certification have been finally decided by the court, the arbitrator will then have the authority to decide the substantive claims on an individual or a class-wide basis, as may be determined and directed by the court.

SECTION 9: OPTING OUT OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Should you choose to opt out and exclude yourself from final, binding arbitration and the class action waiver specified in Section 8, you must send a written notice by email to within 15 days of installing the Software or visiting the Site.
