9. BINDING ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES: We believe that arbitration is a preferable manner to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have related to this Study or your interactions with the Research Sponsor. Therefore, pursuant to these Official Rules, if you have any dispute or disagreement with the Research Sponsor regarding or related to the Study, the incentive, or other aspect of your interaction with the Research Sponsor or the website or service where this Study appears, including any data or information you may provide to the Research Sponsor or that the Research Sponsor may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, “Research Sponsor Transactions or Relationships“), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By participating in the Study or engaging in any other Research Sponsor Transactions or Relationships, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.

To the fullest extent permissible by law, with the exception of disputes pertaining to the Research Sponsor’s intellectual property rights and certain statutory claims that, pursuant to law, are not arbitrable, any dispute of any kind between you and the Sponsor arising and/or resulting from these Official Rules shall be resolved through binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA). The arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the ACICA Arbitration Rules. The hearing shall be conducted in the county that encompasses the address and/or zip code you have provided to the Research Sponsor. For any claim in which you seek AU. $10,000.00 or less, you shall have the choice as to whether the hearing is conducted in person, by telephone, or instead the arbitrator may decide the dispute without a hearing. For those claims that the arbitrator determines are not frivolous, the Research Sponsor shall pay the costs and fees of ACICA and the arbitrator. The Research Sponsor agrees that it will not seek reimbursement from you for its costs and fees incurred by it in the arbitration. AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION.
