THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS 25 AND 26 ARE ONLY APPLICABLE TO CANADIAN CONSUMERS:

25.            Arbitration.

a.     Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms will be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered by the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre pursuant to its applicable Rules. The place of arbitration shall be Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be one. Any award rendered in an arbitration is final and binding and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction for its enforcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Dribbble may seek and obtain injunctive relief in any jurisdiction in any court of competent jurisdiction and you agree that these Terms are specifically enforceable by Dribbble through injunctive relief and other equitable remedies without proof of monetary damages.

b.     Class Action Waiver: TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S DISPUTES. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND DRIBBBLE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this arbitration section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of this section still applies. 

c.      Opt Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver. If you choose to do so, neither you nor we can force the other to arbitrate and, following efforts to informally resolve any Disputes, the claim will be brought in court. To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username and the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision, all sent to [email protected]. You must also retain a copy of your opt-out notice.

26.            Governing Law. These Terms, the relationship between you and Dribbble and all related matters will be governed by, and construed and interpreted solely in accordance with, the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of laws principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.

THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS 27 AND 28 ARE APPLICABLE TO U.S. CONSUMERS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CONSUMERS IN ALL OTHER JURISDICTIONS OUTSIDE CANADA:

27.            Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY; IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLASS ACTION.
Arbitration of Disputes: For any claim, disputes, or controversy between you and us that arises out of, is related to or connected with the goods or services you acquire from or through us (individually a "Dispute" and collectively "Dispute"), you agree to first contact Dribbble at [email protected] to attempt to resolve the Dispute informally. We hope we can resolve any Dispute with you.

In the unlikely event that you and Dribbble are unable to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after you contact us, then you and we each agree to resolve the Dispute only by and through binding arbitration with a single arbitrator. You and we further agree that the arbitration may be administered by American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes then in effect for the AAA or, if an arbitration is not possible through AAA, through a similar well-recognized nationwide arbitration administration service with similar rules.  The place of arbitration shall be New York City and the language of the arbitration shall be English. The number of arbitrators shall be one. Any award rendered in an arbitration is final and binding and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction for its enforcement.

The only exceptions to our agreement to arbitrate are as follows: (1) any and all Dispute related to injunctive relief and/or any dispute relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ Intellectual Property Rights (as discussed below); (b) to the extent that arbitration clauses are prohibited by applicable law in jurisdictions outside of the United States; or (c) a Dispute that meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court as a single-plaintiff claim (which you may bring in such a small claims court at your option).

You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act encourages the arbitration of private disputes in an efficient manner and shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.

Notwithstanding any arbitration rules to the contrary, if your Claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing. If your Claim is for more than U.S. $10,000, at the option of either party, the arbitration will be conducted at an in-person hearing.

We will advance the payment of filing fees and arbitrator’s fees and expenses, with the understanding that the arbitrator will be permitted to re-allocate those costs in the award.

In any arbitration, the prevailing party will not seek to recover attorney’s fees or expenses. The award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of that party’s data security, Intellectual Property Rights, or other proprietary rights.

Class Action Waiver: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S DISPUTES. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND DRIBBBLE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this arbitration section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of this section still applies.

Opt Out: You may opt out of this arbitration agreement and class action waiver. If you choose to do so, neither you nor we can force the other to arbitrate and, following efforts to informally resolve any Disputes, the claim will be brought in court. To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your username and the email address you used to set up your account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you wish to opt out of this arbitration provision, all sent to [email protected]. You must also retain a copy of your opt-out notice.

28.            Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Subject to the other terms and conditions of these Terms, you agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to these Terms that is not subject to arbitration shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (and, to the extent controlling, the federal laws of the United States). The laws of the State of New York will govern without reference to the conflicts-of-laws rules thereof. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act will not apply to (and are excluded from the laws governing) these Terms. In addition, you agree that any claim, action or dispute arising under or relating to these Terms that are not covered by the arbitration provisions above will be brought exclusively in (and the parties will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of) the Federal or State courts in Manhattan in the City and State of New York. Nothing in the foregoing will prevent us from bringing an action for infringement of Intellectual Property Rights in any country where such infringement is alleged to occur.

29.            Notifications and Emails. By providing us with your email address, you consent to Dribbble using the email address to send you Website or Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. Subject to applicable law, we may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Service and special offers ("Newsletters").

Except as expressly provided herein, a party may only waive its rights under these Terms by a written document executed by both parties.
