14.Disputes Resolution

PLEASE READ THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” PROVISION CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH USTARGAMES AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

THIS PROVISION PRECLUDES YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST USTARGAMES. IT ALSO PRECLUDES YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST USTARGAMES BY SOMEONE ELSE. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

WHETHER TO AGREE TO ARBITRATION IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION. IT IS YOUR DECISION TO MAKE AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS IT IS NOT INTENDED TO CONTAIN A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARBITRATION. YOU SHOULD TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO CONDUCT FURTHER RESEARCH AND TO CONSULT WITH OTHERS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION. YOU MAY OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. IF YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF SERVICE AND DO NOT OPT OUT OF THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, YOU CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUITS, EVEN IF A CLASS IS CERTIFIED.

A. Scope of Arbitration Provision. You and USTARGAMES agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your access to or use of any USTARGAMES Offering or to these Terms of Service, (including without limitation any dispute concerning the breach, enforcement, construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability, or arbitrability of these Terms of Service) (a “Dispute”), no matter when such Dispute arose or arises, shall be determined by arbitration, except that you and USTARGAMES are NOT required to arbitrate any Dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.

B. Governing Law. This Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Hong Kong without reference to its conflict of law principles.

C. Location of Arbitration and Applicable Rules. You and USTARGAMES agree that the seat of such arbitration shall be Hong Kong. You and USTARGAMES agree that such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the then effective HKIAC Rules, as modified by these Terms of Service.

D. Authority of Arbitrator. With the exception of class procedures and remedies as discussed below under “Waiver of Class Relief,” the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.

E. Confidentiality. You and USTARGAMES shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceedings and the arbitration award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

F. ArbitrationShall Proceed Individually. You and USTARGAMES agree that the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor USTARGAMES may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a “Collective Arbitration”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and as an illustrative but not exhaustive example), a claim to resolve any Dispute against USTARGAMES will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently by or on behalf of one or more claimants; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. “Concurrently” for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.

G. WAIVER OF CLASS RELIEF. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AGREE THAT YOU AND USTARGAMES WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. YOU AND USTARGAMES ARE EACH WAIVING RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY PAST, PENDING, OR FUTURE CLASS ACTION OR ANY OTHER CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

H. Allocation of Arbitration Fees. If you assert a Dispute as a consumer, you and USTARGAMES will pay arbitration fees severally and equally charged by HKIAC in connection with any arbitration under this section, including any remaining Case Management Fee and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees.

I. Procedure to Opt Out of Arbitration Provision. You may opt out of this arbitration provision only by written Notice by email to support@ustargames.com. You must send such Notice within thirty (30) days of your acceptance of these Terms of Service. You must sign and date the Notice, and include in it your name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with USTARGAMES through arbitration. If you do not follow this procedure by your thirty (30) day deadline to do so, then you and USTARGAMES shall both be bound by the terms of this section entitled Dispute Resolution.

J. JudicialForum for Disputes. If any portion of this section entitled “Dispute Resolution” is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, then the remainder shall still be given full force and effect. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and USTARGAMES agree that any judicial proceeding may only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in Hong Kong. Both you and USTARGAMES consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.
