11.4 Notifying alleged illegal content – Notice and Action Mechanism. You may report to Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral the presence, on this Site or on any Service, of content that you consider to be illegal in the EU or any EU country through the mechanism accessible in our Support Center (“Notice and Action Mechanism”).

11.5 Restrictions. Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral may, at any time and in some cases, without prior notice, remove any Unauthorized Content provided on (or through) this Site or any Service or suspend or terminate access to a whole Service (e.g., disabling a website hosted by Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral). In addition, with respect to “repeat offenders”, namely users frequently providing manifestly Unauthorized Content, Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral may suspend or terminate their access to this Site or to the Services found at this Site. Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral will generally issue a prior warning before any suspension, other than in exceptional cases, or where Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral is otherwise legally required to take immediate action. When deciding on and applying such restrictions, Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral will act in a timely, diligent, non-arbitrary, objective and proportionate manner.

11.6 Unfounded Notices. If any user frequently provides manifestly unfounded notices through the Notice and Action Mechanism, Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral may suspend the processing of its notices. Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral will generally issue a prior warning before any suspension, save for exceptional cases (as determined by Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral in its reasonable discretion) or where Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral is legally required to take immediate action.

11.7 Measures and tools for review. Notices and orders are generally subject to human review.

11.8 Right to terminate the use of the Services. You have the right to terminate the use of the Services in accordance with Sections 9 and 14 of this Agreement.

11.9 Content Moderation Decisions.

1. This Section may apply to you if:
   1. Your issue relates to a GoDaddy online platform in the EU (meaning either a Service involving the sale and purchase of aftermarket domain names, or GoDaddy Community to the extent provided in the EU); and
   2. Your issue concerns: (y) a decision taken by GoDaddy further to a notice you submitted to GoDaddy regarding the presence of information considered to be illegal content on a GoDaddy EU online platform; and/or (z) a decision taken by GoDaddy to remove (or to not remove) content or to suspend, restrict or terminate (or to not suspend, restrict or terminate) access to a GoDaddy EU online platform on the ground that you or any user of the Service provided Unauthorized Content,
      
      (a “Content Moderation Decision”).
2. If you disagree with a Content Moderation Decision, you may lodge a complaint against it with GoDaddy. The complaint must be lodged within six (6) months from the date on which you are informed of the Content Moderation Decision. To lodge your complaint, you will need to respond to the email informing you of the Content Moderation Decision and provide any additional context or information for GoDaddy to reassess the Content Moderation Decision. GoDaddy will review your complaint and respond through its internal complaint-handling system (the “Internal Complaint-Handling System”).
   
   If a user frequently provides manifestly unfounded complaints through the Internal Complaint-Handling System, GoDaddy may suspend the processing of its complaints, after a prior warning.
3. If you disagree with a Content Moderation Decision and/or the outcome of the Internal Complaint-Handling System, you may also engage with any out-of-court dispute settlement body certified by the relevant EU authority. For your information, decisions taken by these bodies are not binding. Also, GoDaddy may refuse to engage in such a procedure if the issue has already been resolved concerning the same content and the same grounds. The list of these certified bodies (if any) is expected to be published by the EU Commission shortly. We will update the terms of this Agreement once the relevant information becomes available.
4. In any case, you may also initiate judicial proceedings before a competent court, according to the applicable law, at any stage.

11.10 For the purposes of Sections 11.6 and 11.9, “frequently” means the submission of 2 or more unfounded notices or complaints (as relevant) over a period of 12 months. For the purposes of Sections 11.5, 11.6 and 11.9, when determining whether a specific behavior requires such a suspension or termination and the duration of the suspension or termination, Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral takes into account the relevant facts and circumstances, which may include such things as the volume of manifestly unfounded notices or complaints submitted within the period referred to above, the seriousness and/or the impact of the behavior. A notice may for instance be considered as manifestly unfounded if it is evident that it does not relate to alleged illegal content and instead refers solely to personal and/or subjective considerations. Specifically as regards the provision of illegal content, these criteria also include the volume of illegal content provided, the extent of its impact and/or the gravity of the behavior (e.g., as regards the nature of the content concerned and its consequences) and the frequency of the behavior.

11.11 Search Engine: Recommender Systems Disclosure.

Our Site and certain of our Services include a search engine that enables you to search for domain name registrations based on your query, account search history, and location.

The search engine generates a list of results based on generic matching between the keywords or character sequences searched and the domain names available for purchase. If the exact domain name you searched for is unavailable, the search engine will display results for domain names that match your keywords and characters, potentially including alternative top-level domain names, which may take into account your location. For example, if you are located in Germany, the search engine may prioritize “.de” top-level domain names in order to present you more tailored results. Additionally, the search may feature partnerships labeled “Promoted” in the search results.

The keywords or sequences of characters that you searched are the most significant parameters used to determine the results, whereas search history and location are secondary parameters used to further refine the list of results. As currently designed, the search engine does not allow you to change these parameters.

11.12 DSA Point of Contact.

If you have any questions or queries about this Section 11 or any other DSA-related matters, you can contact us by email at [email protected].

In addition, you agree that the location for the processing of your payments may change for any reason, including the type of Payment Method chosen, the currency selected, or changes or updates made to your Payment Method.

You further acknowledge and agree that the payment provider and/or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method establish and regulate the time frames for posting your refund, and that such refund posting time frames may range from five (5) business days to a full billing cycle, or longer.

In the event a refund is issued to your Payment Method and the payment provider, payment processor or individual issuing bank associated with your Payment Method imposes any limitations on refunds, including but not limited to, limitations as to the timing of the refund or the number of refunds allowed, then Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral, in its sole and absolute discretion, reserves the right to issue the refund either (i) in the form of an In-Store Credit; (ii) via issuance of a Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral check, which will be sent to the mailing address on file for your Account; or (iii) in some jurisdictions, as a bank transfer, when the payment processor cannot refund back to the Payment Method.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT YOU DO NOT EXPERIENCE AN INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, ALL SERVICES ARE OFFERED ON AUTOMATIC RENEWAL UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED ON THIS SITE. EXCEPT FOR REASONS DESCRIBED BELOW IN THIS SECTION, AUTOMATIC RENEWAL AUTOMATICALLY RENEWS THE APPLICABLE SERVICE UPON EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT TERM FOR A RENEWAL PERIOD EQUAL IN TIME TO THE MOST RECENT SERVICE PERIOD (EXCEPT FOR DOMAIN NAMES WHICH MAY RENEW FOR THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERIOD). FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR LAST SERVICE PERIOD IS FOR ONE YEAR, YOUR RENEWAL PERIOD WILL TYPICALLY BE FOR ONE YEAR. HOWEVER, IN THE EVENT RENEWAL WITH THE PAYMENT METHOD ON FILE FAILS, ALABYE NETWORK, LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL MAY ATTEMPT TO RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE FOR A PERIOD LESS THAN THE ORIGINAL SUBSCRIPTION PERIOD TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY FOR THE TRANSACTION TO SUCCEED.

UNLESS YOU DISABLE THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL OPTION, ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL WILL AUTOMATICALLY RENEW THE APPLICABLE SERVICE WHEN IT COMES UP FOR RENEWAL AND WILL TAKE PAYMENT FROM THE PAYMENT METHOD ASSOCIATED WITH THE SERVICE(S) IN YOUR ACCOUNT OR YOUR DESIGNATED BACKUP PAYMENT METHOD(S) ON FILE WITH ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL. IN AUTOMATICALLY RENEWING YOUR SERVICES, ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL WILL FIRST ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE PAYMENT METHOD ASSOCIATED WITH THE SERVICE(S) IN YOUR ACCOUNT. IN THE EVENT ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY CHARGE THIS PAYMENT METHOD, WE WILL ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE PAYMENT METHOD(S) DESIGNATED AS “BACKUP” IN YOUR ACCOUNT. RENEWALS WILL BE CHARGED AT ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL’S THEN CURRENT RATES, WHICH YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE MAY BE HIGHER OR LOWER THAN THE RATES FOR THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PERIOD.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH FOR ANY SERVICE TO AUTOMATICALLY RENEW, YOU MAY ELECT TO CANCEL RENEWAL, IN WHICH CASE, YOUR SERVICES WILL TERMINATE UPON EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT TERM, UNLESS YOU MANUALLY RENEW YOUR SERVICES PRIOR TO THAT DATE. IN OTHER WORDS, SHOULD YOU ELECT TO CANCEL YOUR PRODUCT AND FAIL TO MANUALLY RENEW YOUR SERVICES BEFORE THEY EXPIRE, YOU MAY EXPERIENCE AN INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, AND ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE SAME.

IN ADDITION, ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL MAY PARTICIPATE IN “RECURRING BILLING PROGRAMS” OR “ACCOUNT UPDATER SERVICES” SUPPORTED BY YOUR CREDIT CARD PROVIDER (AND ULTIMATELY DEPENDENT ON YOUR BANK’S PARTICIPATION). IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CHARGE YOUR EXISTING PAYMENT METHOD, YOUR CREDIT CARD PROVIDER (OR YOUR BANK) MAY NOTIFY US OF UPDATES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND/OR EXPIRATION DATE, OR THEY MAY AUTOMATICALLY CHARGE YOUR NEW CREDIT CARD ON OUR BEHALF WITHOUT NOTIFICATION TO US. IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECURRING BILLING PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS, IN THE EVENT THAT WE ARE NOTIFIED OF AN UPDATE TO YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER AND/OR EXPIRATION DATE, ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL WILL AUTOMATICALLY UPDATE YOUR PAYMENT PROFILE ON YOUR BEHALF. ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL MAKES NO GUARANTEES THAT WE WILL REQUEST OR RECEIVE UPDATED CREDIT CARD INFORMATION.

FURTHER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR FAILURE TO DO SO, MAY RESULT IN THE INTERRUPTION OR LOSS OF SERVICES, AND ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY REGARDING THE SAME.

(B) REFUND POLICY

Products and Services available for refunds are described in our Refund Policy.

(C) GOOD AS GOLD PREPAID SERVICES

Service Details. By using Good As Gold Prepaid Services, you may transfer funds to Abnwebcentral to fund your Good As Gold Prepaid Services account (“Good As Gold Account”). You may then use your Good As Gold Account to purchase any Services. You may fund your Good As Gold Account by wire transfer.

You acknowledge that funds transferred to your Good As Gold Account will be held by Abnwebcentral and will not accrue or pay interest for your benefit. To the extent any interest may accrue, you agree that Abnwebcentral shall be entitled to receive and keep any such amounts to cover costs associated with Good As Gold Prepaid Services.

You agree that all transactions using Good As Gold Prepaid Services will be conducted in U.S. dollars.

Foreign currency wires will be automatically converted and deposited in U.S. Dollars. Please note that exchange rate fees may apply.

You are responsible for all wire transfer fees, both incoming and outgoing, associated with your Good As Gold Account. Any non-U.S. wire transfers may be subject to fees by your bank, intermediary banks, or Abnwebcentral’s bank, which may reduce the amount of the money received by Abnwebcentral’s bank and subsequently funded into your Good As Gold Account. You hereby expressly authorize Abnwebcentral (i) to reduce your Good As Gold Account by the amount of wire transfer fees Abnwebcentral incurs in order to receive your funds; and/or (ii) to charge a twenty-dollar ($20.00) service fee (“Service Fee”) in connection with the termination of your Good As Gold Account.

You can verify the remaining funds in your Good As Gold Account at any time through your Account or the shopping cart. Should you decide to terminate your Good As Gold Account (or should Abnwebcentral opt to terminate your Good As Gold Account because you have breached an obligation under the Good As Gold Service Agreement), then the balance in your Good As Gold Account will be refunded, net the Service Fee.

Additional funds may be added to your Good As Gold Account at any time.

Your Use of Good As Gold Prepaid Services. Use of funds in your Good As Gold Account can only be made through the Abnwebcentral purchase process at Abnwebcentral’s website. Purchases may not be made unless there are sufficient, available funds in your Good As Gold Account at the time of purchase to cover the entire purchase amount, including any related fees as set forth herein or in other relevant agreements.

(D) PAY BY CHECK (ELECTRONIC PAYMENT)

By using Abnwebcentral’s pay by check option (“Pay By Check”), you can purchase Abnwebcentral Services using an electronic payment (from your personal or business checking account (“Checking Account”), as appropriate). In connection, you agree to allow a third-party check services provider, Certegy Check Services, Inc., (“Check Services Provider”) to debit the full amount of your purchase from your Checking Account, which is non-refundable. Check Services Provider will create an electronic funds transfer (“EFT”) or bank draft, which will be presented to your bank or financial institution for payment from your Checking Account. The Checking Account must be at a financial institution in the United States, and payment must be in U.S. Dollars.

It is your responsibility to keep your Checking Account current and funded. You agree that (i) Check Services Provider or Abnwebcentral reserve the right to decline a transaction for any reason (including, but not limited to, payments that fail to go through as a result of your Checking Account no longer existing or not holding available/sufficient funds) and (ii) in such event, neither Check Services Provider nor Abnwebcentral shall be liable to you or any third party regarding the same. If for any reason Check Services Provider is unable to withdraw the full amount owed for the Services provided, you agree that Check Services Provider and Abnwebcentral may pursue all available lawful remedies in order to obtain payment (plus any applicable fees). Abnwebcentral is not responsible for the actions of Check Services Provider. You agree that if the EFT or bank draft is returned unpaid, you will pay a service charge in accordance with the fees permitted by law for each U.S. State. A help article describing the Check Services Provider and outlining the service charges referenced above can be found here. These fees may be debited from your Checking Account using an EFT or bank draft. All fees are in U.S. Dollars.

Abnwebcentral and its service providers, including but not limited to Check Services Provider and Complete Payment Recovery Services, Inc., may provide you with notices, including by email, regular mail, SMS, MMS, text message, postings on the services, or other reasonable means now known or hereafter developed. Such notices may not be received if you violate these terms of service by accessing the services in an unauthorized manner. Your agreement to these terms of service constitutes your agreement that you are deemed to have received any and all notices that would have been delivered had you accessed the services in an authorized manner. Failure to receive such notices for any reason shall not excuse any payment or other obligation to Abnwebcentral and Check Services Provider. You further expressly authorize Abnwebcentral and its service providers, including but not limited to Check Services Provider and Complete Payment Recovery Services, Inc., and their affiliates to contact you, via auto-dialer, pre-recorded messages, or any other method, on any of your mobile phone numbers or emails. You further acknowledge that email addresses you provide are not shared, accessed by others and are not employer-related email addresses.

(E) INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT OPTIONS

Abnwebcentral offers a variety of alternative international payment options through a variety of International Payment Providers (“IPP”). In the event you select an IPP, you represent that you have already agreed to any and all of the IPP’s applicable customer service agreements in advance of completing your transaction at Abnwebcentral. You also agree to allow the IPP to debit the full amount of your purchase from the selected account or payment method, collectively “Funding Sources”. In addition, you agree to allow the selected IPP to debit, if applicable, an “Exchange Rate Conversion Fee”, as well as any other fees or charges applicable to your agreement with the IPP (collectively, the “IPP Fees”), from your Funding Sources. You understand and agree that IPP Fees are subject to change at any time by the IPP without notice to you by Abnwebcentral.

It is your responsibility to keep your Funding Sources current and funded. You agree that (i) the IPP or Abnwebcentral reserve the right to decline a transaction for any reason and (ii) neither the IPP nor Abnwebcentral shall be liable to you or any third party regarding the same. You acknowledge that Abnwebcentral will not attempt to fulfill the Services purchased by you until Abnwebcentral receives confirmation of payment from the IPP through its associated payment processor. You acknowledge there may be a gap of several hours or days between the time you place an order and the time the IPP confirms payment through its associated payment processor. If Abnwebcentral does not receive confirmation of payment from the IPP through its associated payment processor within thirty (30) days from when the order is placed, your order may be cancelled, at which time you will need to commence the purchase process again. In the event that you would like to cancel payment for a pending transaction, you may cancel the order through your Abnwebcentral account. Payments received on previously cancelled orders will be automatically refunded to the original Payment Method when possible.

If, at the time Abnwebcentral receives confirmation of payment from the IPP (through its associated payment processor), either (i) the Services (including domain names) are no longer available for purchase; or (ii) a pending order has been cancelled in our systems; or (iii) the confirmation of payment does not match the dollar amount of the pending order, and as a result your purchase is either over-funded or under-funded, Abnwebcentral may automatically issue a partial refund (in the case of over-funding) or a full refund (in the case of under-funding) to your Funding Source. If the IPP (or its associated payment processor) imposes refund limitations of any kind, Abnwebcentral reserves the right to issue refunds to an In-Store Credit balance or as a bank transfer, when the payment processor cannot refund back to the Payment Method. If you receive a full refund, you will need to begin the purchase process again. You agree that the IPP reserves the right not to refund IPP Fees associated with a refunded transaction. Accordingly, any refunds issued by Abnwebcentral will be net of the IPP Fees unless otherwise specified.

(F) IN-STORE CREDIT BALANCES

In the event that your Account contains a credit issued by us, it may only be applied to the purchase of a Service (each an “In-Store-Credit“) subject to the following terms: (1) you may apply any available In-Store Credit to any future purchase of Services in your Account; and (2) you authorize Abnwebcentral to apply any available In-Store Credits to any upcoming product renewals, outstanding administrative fees, chargebacks, or other fees related to your Account, including partial payments. Regardless of the amount of In-Store Credit available in your account, Abnwebcentral is not responsible for the loss of products resulting from an inability to collect funds from your Payment Methods or the In-Store Credit. In-Store Credits will be applied based on the currency selected in the shopping cart at the time of purchase (or renewal). If you have more than one In-Store Credit, then the credits will be processed according to the age of the credit, with the oldest In-Store Credit being applied first. If additional funds are required to complete the purchase or renewal, In-Store Credits held in a non-selected currency will be converted using Abnwebcentral’s daily exchange rate based on the age of the In-Store Credit (oldest to newest) until (i) enough funds are allocated to complete the transaction, or (ii) there is no available balance left in your account. You understand and agree that at the time of conversion, Abnwebcentral may also impose an additional administrative fee.

You can verify your available In-Store Credits at any time through your Account on the Abnwebcentral website. You acknowledge that In-Store Credits are non-transferable, may only be used in the Account in which they were acquired and may expire. Complimentary In-Store Credits will expire two years after issuance or within any other time period Abnwebcentral may specify in your Account. In the event that Abnwebcentral terminates your Account, you acknowledge and agree that any remaining available In-Store Credits will be forfeited.

You also acknowledge that funds associated with your In-Store Credits will be held by Abnwebcentral and will not accrue or pay interest for your behalf. To the extent any interest may accrue, you agree that Abnwebcentral is entitled to receive and keep any such amounts to cover costs associated with supporting the In-Store Credits functionality.

(G) EXPIRED DOMAIN NAME PURCHASES

For expired domain names purchased through your account, you agree that you are responsible for payment within forty-eight (48) hours of auction close for the successful bid amount plus the one (1) year renewal or transfer fee (from the end of the domain name’s previous registration period), plus ICANN fee, if applicable, or any valid payment method associated with the account, will be charged on the third day following the auction close. If we are unable to collect payment, you may lose the rights to purchase the domain name.

(I) BUY NOW PAY LATER OPTIONS

Use of a “buy now pay later” option such as an installment payment or financing is subject to the following terms and conditions. You acknowledge and agree that Abnwebcentral shall not be liable to you or any third party regarding any interest, late fee, other amount, collection effort, or change in credit score that arises out of or relates to the buy now pay later option. You further agree that repayment of a buy now pay later option may be governed by your agreement with a third party. Any representation that Abnwebcentral makes regarding a repayment term related to a buy now pay later option is for convenience only. A repayment term such as a required down payment, late fee, or interest might vary or be subject to change, and is in the control of a third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Abnwebcentral shall not be responsible or otherwise liable to you or any third party for disclosing or failing to disclose any repayment term, which you are responsible for determining.

Certain installment payment options will only apply to a selected Service term, which may auto-renew for the full amount unless you manually renew the Service term with a subsequent installment payment.

23. DISPUTES, BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE PROVISIONS REQUIRING YOU TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.

(A) Disputes. The terms of this Section shall apply to all Disputes between you and Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral, except for disputes governed by the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy referenced above. For the purposes of this Section, “Dispute” shall mean any dispute, claim, or action between you and Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral arising under or relating to any Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral Services or Products, Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral’s websites, this Agreement, or any other transaction involving you and Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral, whether in contract, warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis, and shall be interpreted to be given the broadest meaning allowable under law. YOU AND ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL AGREE THAT “DISPUTE” AS DEFINED IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU OR ABNWEBCENTRAL FOR (I) TRADE SECRET MISAPPROPRIATION, (II) PATENT INFRINGEMENT, (III) COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT OR MISUSE, AND (IV) TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR DILUTION. Moreover, notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, you agree that a court, not the arbitrator, may decide if a claim falls within one of these four exceptions.

(B) Binding Arbitration. You and Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral further agree: (i) to arbitrate all Disputes between the parties pursuant to the provisions in this Agreement; (ii) this Agreement memorializes a transaction in interstate commerce; (iii) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §1, et seq.) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section; and (iv) this Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS THAT YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND YOUR GROUNDS FOR APPEAL ARE LIMITED. The arbitrator may award you the same damages as a court sitting in proper jurisdiction, as limited by the Limitation of Liability set forth in Section 20 of this Agreement and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. In addition, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and enforceable by any court with jurisdiction over the parties.

(C) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.

(D) Dispute Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you or Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral must first send to the other party a notice of the Dispute that shall include a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and the relief requested (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice to Abnwebcentral must be addressed to: Abnwebcentral, 2150 E Warner Rd., Tempe, AZ 85284, Attn.: Legal Department (the “Abnwebcentral Notice Address”). The Dispute Notice to you will be sent by certified mail to the most recent address we have on file or otherwise in our records for you. If Abnwebcentral and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within sixty (60) days after the Dispute Notice is received, you or Abnwebcentral may commence an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section. Following submission and receipt of the Dispute Notice, each of us agrees to act in good faith to seek to resolve the Dispute before commencing arbitration.

(E) WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND ALABYE NETWORK LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. NEITHER YOU NOR ALABYE NETWORT LLC – ABNWEBCENTRAL WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR PROCEEDINGS.

(F) Arbitration Procedure. If a party elects to commence arbitration, the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“AAA Rules”) in conjunction with the rules set forth in this Agreement, except that AAA may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. The AAA Rules are at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If there is a conflict between the AAA Rules and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement shall govern. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to federal, state, or local laws, as limited by the Limitation of Liability set forth in Section 20 of this Agreement. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also have exclusive authority to rule on his or her own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope, or validity of the arbitration agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. Notwithstanding this broad delegation of authority to the arbitrator, a court may determine the limited question of whether a claim or cause of action is for (i) trade secret misappropriation, (ii) patent infringement, (iii) copyright infringement or misuse, or (iv) trademark infringement or dilution, which are excluded from the definition of “Disputes” as stated above. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence (or principal place of business if you are a small business), or in Maricopa County, Arizona, at your option.

(G) Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either you or Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral decide to arbitrate a Dispute, we agree to the following procedure:

1. Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org (“Demand for Arbitration: Consumer Arbitration Rules”).
2. Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to AAA by mail at American Arbitration Association Case Filing Services 1101 Laurel Oak Road, Suite 100 Voorhees, NJ 08043.
3. Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party at the same address as the Dispute Notice, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties.

(H) Hearing Format. In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by Abnwebcentral or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral is entitled. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.

(I) Arbitration Fees and Payments.

1. Disputes involving $75,000.00 or less. Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral will promptly reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If you reject Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral’s last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed (“Abnwebcentral’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 Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral’s last written offer, Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral will: (i) pay the greater of the award or $1,000.00; (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 Abnwebcentral agree on them.
2. Disputes involving more than $75,000.00. The AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
3. Disputes involving any amount. In any arbitration you commence, Abnwebcentral 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 Abnwebcentral commences, Alabye Network LLC – Abnwebcentral will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Abnwebcentral will not seek its attorney’s fees or expenses from you in any arbitration. Fees and expenses are not included in determining the amount in dispute.

(J) Claims or Disputes Must be Filed Within One Year. To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute to which this Section applies must be filed within one year in small claims or in arbitration. The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of Dispute first could be filed. If not filed within one year, the claim or dispute will be permanently barred.

(K) 30-Day Opt-out Period. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE ARBITRATION PROVISION IN THIS DISPUTES SECTION, YOU MUST NOTIFY ABNWEBCENTRAL BY E-MAILING [email protected] WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE DATE THAT YOU ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT (UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW). In the e-mail, you must provide your (a) first name, (b) last name (c) address, (d) phone number, and (e) account number(s) and state the following: “I wish to opt out of the arbitration provision contained in Abnwebcentral’s Universal Terms of Service Agreement.” By providing your information in the method above, you are opting out of the agreement to arbitrate contained in Abnwebcentral’s Universal Terms of Service. Your opt-out request will only be valid if made within thirty (30) days of first accepting the Universal Terms of Service. In the event that you opt-out consistent with the procedure set forth above, all other terms shall contained herein shall continue to apply, including those related to the applicable governing law and the court(s) in which legal disputes may be brought.

(L) Amendments to this Section. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, you and Abnwebcentral agree that if Abnwebcentral makes any future amendments to the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions (other than a change to Abnwebcentral’s address) in this Agreement, Abnwebcentral will notify you and you will have thirty (30) days from the date of notice to affirmatively opt-out of any such amendments. If you affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between us in accordance with the language of this Section as stated in these current Terms, without any of the proposed amendments governing. If you do not affirmatively opt-out of any future amendments, you will be deemed to have consented to any such future amendments.

(M) Severability. If any provision in this Section is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Section shall be null and void. The terms of this Section shall otherwise survive any termination of this Agreement.

(N) Exclusive Venue for Other Controversies. Abnwebcentral and you agree that any controversy excluded from the dispute resolution procedure and class action waiver provisions in this Section (other than an individual action filed in small claims court) shall be filed only in the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona, or the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, and each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for any such controversy. You also agree to waive the right to trial by jury in any such action or proceeding.

24. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY; DORMANCY CHARGES

Please be advised that if a customer has an outstanding account balance (a credit positive balance) whether in In-Store Credits, a Good as Gold Account or otherwise, for three (3) years or more for any reason, then Abnwebcentral shall turn over such account balance to the applicable U.S. state in accordance with state law.

You acknowledge and agree that we will deem In-Store Credits dormant if they are both 12 months old and have not been used to pay for a Service or fee. In the case of dormant In-Store Credits, Abnwebcentral may, as permitted by law, withhold a monthly dormancy charge from the available In-Store Credits in an amount equal to the lesser of $25.00 or the total In-Store Credis available on the date of the dormancy charge. If there are no In-Store Credits available we will not apply further dormancy charges. We may apply the dormancy charge to In-Store Credits without prior notice to you.25. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
