You agree to commence arbitration only in the county of Your principal place of business or in King County, Washington, USA. Microsoft agrees to commence arbitration only in the county of Your principal place of business. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The arbitrator may award the same damages to You individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to You individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy Your individual claim.

(f) Arbitration Fees and Incentives.

(f)(1) Disputes Involving $75,000 or Less. Microsoft will promptly reimburse Your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If You reject Microsoft’s last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed (“Microsoft’s last written offer”), Your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”), and the arbitrator awards You more than Microsoft’s last written offer, Microsoft will give You three incentives: (i) pay the greater of the award or $1,000; (ii) pay twice Your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that Your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing Your claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses unless You and Microsoft agree on them.

(f)(2) Disputes Involving More Than $75,000. The AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.

(f)(3) Disputes Involving Any Amount. In any arbitration You commence, Microsoft will seek its AAA or arbitrator’s fees and expenses, or Your filing fees it reimbursed, only if the arbitrator finds the arbitration frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. In any arbitration Microsoft commences, Microsoft will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Microsoft won't seek its attorney’s fees or expenses from You in any arbitration. Fees and expenses are not counted in determining how much a dispute involves.

(g) Conflict with AAA Rules. This Agreement governs to the extent it conflicts with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.

(h) Claims or Disputes Must Be Filed Within One Year. To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute to which Section 22 applies must be filed within one year in small claims court (Section 22(b)) or in arbitration (Section 22(c)). The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of Dispute first could be filed. If such a claim or dispute isn't filed within one year, it's permanently barred.

(i) Rejecting Future Arbitration Changes. You may reject any change Microsoft makes to Section 22 (other than address changes) by sending us notice within 30 days of the change by U.S. Mail to the address in Section 22(a). If You do, the most recent version of Section 22 before the change You rejected will apply.

(j) Severability. If the class action waiver in Section 22(d) is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then Section 22 won't apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of Section 22 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of Section 22 remaining in full force and effect.

(k) Third-Party Beneficiaries. Affiliates of Microsoft Online, Inc. are not party to this Agreement but are third-party beneficiaries of Your and Microsoft Online, Inc.’s agreement to resolve disputes through informal negotiation and arbitration. If Your dispute is with an Affiliate of Microsoft Online, Inc., such Affiliate agrees to do everything Microsoft Online, Inc. agrees to do in Section 22, and You agree to do everything regarding the Affiliate that Section 22 requires You to do regarding Microsoft Online, Inc. Mail a Notice of Dispute with an Affiliate to Microsoft Corporation, ATTN: LCA ARBITRATION, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399. For purposes of this paragraph, “Affiliate” means any legal entity that a party owns, that owns a party, or that is under its common ownership. “Ownership” means, for purposes of this definition, control of more than a 50% interest in an entity.

YOU BEAR THE RISK OF USING THE PUBCENTER SITE AND PUBCENTER PROGRAMS TO DISPLAY ADVERTISING ON OR IN YOUR PROPERTIES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LOCAL LAW, MICROSOFT EXCLUDES ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THOSE OF PRODUCT LIABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, RELATING TO THE PUBCENTER SITE AND PUBCENTER PROGRAMS. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OF THE FOREGOING, MICROSOFT EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS THAT ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE PUBCENTER SITE AND PUBCENTER PROGRAMS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

IF YOU LIVE IN AUSTRALIA, there are guarantees that are implied under the Australian Consumer Law that may apply to the goods and services supplied to You as part of the pubCenter Programs (the “AU Guarantees”). Should the AU Guarantees apply to You, then these AU Guarantees are not included in the disclaimers and exclusions specified by this Section 22. For those pubCenter Programs that include services (rather than goods), should Microsoft breach any of the AU Guarantees, Your remedy is limited to receiving the supply of the service again or the payment of the cost of having the services supplied again. For those pubCenter Programs that includes goods (which includes computer software), the goods come with AU Guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law and You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. In the case of software, the repair of goods may not be practicable, and a replacement will be provided if this is the case. For any AU Guarantees related issues, please contact pubsup@microsoft.com.

24. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL MICROSOFT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR THAT RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS PERFORMANCE. THIS EXCLUSION WILL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY UPON WHICH ANY CLAIM FOR SUCH DAMAGES IS BASED, WHETHER MICROSOFT HAD BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE REASONABLY FORESEEABLE, OR WHETHER APPLICATION OF THE EXCLUSION CAUSES ANY REMEDY TO FAIL OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. IN ADDITION, MICROSOFT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES OF ANY CLASS OR KIND IN EXCESS OF AMOUNTS REMAINING DUE AND PAYABLE TO YOU UNDER A PUBCENTER PROGRAM. HOWEVER, NONE OF THE FORGOING LIMITATIONS WILL APPLY TO MICROSOFT’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION UNDER SECTION 25 (INDEMNIFCATION). NOTHING IN SECTION 24 WILL AFFECT THE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF ANY CONSUMER TO EXCLUDE OR RESTRICT LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY ARISING FROM MICROSOFT’S NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL INTENT. SOME OR ALL OF THESE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU IF YOUR STATE, PROVINCE, OR COUNTRY DOES NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES.

25. INDEMNIFICATION.

If your principal place of business is in any other country, Nevada, USA law governs, regardless of conflict of laws principles. You and Microsoft irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in King County, Washington, USA for all disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or a pubCenter Program that are heard in court (not arbitration and not small claims court).

30. SURVIVAL; NON-EXCLUSIVITY. Sections of this Agreement that, by their terms, require performance after the termination or expiration of this Agreement will survive.
