You acknowledge that under no circumstances will a contract, agreement, offer, sale, bid, or other transaction involving the Blockchain Protocol be invalidated, revocable, reversible, or otherwise unenforceable on the basis that the Gas Fee for the given transaction was unknown, too high, or otherwise unacceptable.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION
9.1. General. If a dispute arises between you and Company, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and the Company agree that we will resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our Site and/or the Marketplace (a “Claim”) in accordance with one of the subsections below or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting our customer support team. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation. Other than those matters listed in Section 9.6, you and the Company agree to seek resolution of the dispute only through arbitration of that dispute in accordance with the terms of this Section 9, and not litigate any dispute in court. Arbitration means that the dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury.
9.2. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of a Claim brought by either you or us (individually, a “Disputing Party” and collectively, the “Disputing Parties”), the Disputing Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Claim informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Disputing Party to the other Disputing Party. This Section 9.2 shall not apply to (i) Claims expressly provided for below in Section 9.6, (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use, and (iii) any claim for injunctive relief.
9.3. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding; Selection of Arbitrator. If you or the Company are unable to resolve a Claim through informal negotiations as set forth in Section 9.2, you elect to resolve your dispute through arbitration, the Claims (except those Claims expressly provided for below in Section 9.6) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. The Disputing Party initiating the arbitration proceeding must initiate it with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The terms of this Section 9.3 will govern in the event they conflict with the arbitration rules identified below.
9.4. Arbitration Procedures. Because the Site and/or Marketplace Offerings provided to you by the Company concern interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the arbitrability of all disputes. However, applicable federal or state law may also apply to the substance of any disputes. For claims of less than $75,000, the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules shall apply; for claims over $75,000, the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and relevant fee schedules for non-class action proceedings shall apply. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Further, if your claims do not exceed $75,000 and you provided notice to, and negotiated in good faith with, the Company as described above, and if the arbitrator finds that you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs as determined by the arbitrator, in addition to any rights to recover the same under controlling state or federal law afforded to the Company or you. The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. Such award will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
9.5. Location of Arbitration. You or the Company may initiate arbitration in either Marin County, CA, or the county in which you reside. If you initiate arbitration in the county of your residence, the Company may transfer the arbitration to Marin County, CA, provided that the Company agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location, as determined by the arbitrator.
9.6. EXCLUSION FROM ARBITRATION. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM FILED BY YOU OR BY THE COMPANY IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR BY COMPANY RELATED TO PROTECTION OF COMPANY’S OR ANY COMPANY LICENSOR’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ARE NOT SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION TERMS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.
9.7. RIGHT TO OPT OUT OF BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER WITHIN 30 DAYS. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN THIS SECTION 9, YOU MUST NOTIFY COMPANY IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU FIRST ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR WRITTEN NOTIFICATION MUST BE MAILED TO COMPANY TERMS ADMINISTRATOR, AND MUST INCLUDE: (1) YOUR NAME, (2) YOUR ADDRESS, AND (4) A CLEAR STATEMENT THAT YOU DO NOT WISH TO RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH COMPANY THROUGH ARBITRATION.
9.8. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A NAMED OR UNNAMED MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, UNLESS BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY SPECIFICALLY AGREE TO DO SO IN WRITING FOLLOWING INITIATION OF THE ARBITRATION.
9.9. California Users and Residents. If any complaint with us is not satisfactorily resolved, you can contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, California 95834 or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 or (916) 445-1254.
9.10. Severability. If any clause within this Section 9 (other than the Class Action Waiver clause of Section 9.6) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section 9 and the remainder of this Section 9 will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver (Section 9.6) clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section 9, except for this Section 9.10, will be unenforceable and the dispute will be decided by a court and IN THAT INSTANCE, YOU AND COMPANY EACH WAIVE AND AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW.
