EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW OR UNLESS YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS WILL BE RESOLVED IN BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT.

You and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS agree to submit to individual arbitration the resolution of any and all Claims by or between you and/or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS, except that you and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS agree that the following will not be subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions in the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act 2010 (Act 798): (A) any Claim filed by you or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS with respect to any violation, enforcement or validity of patent, trademark, trade dress, service mark, copyright and/or trade secret rights of you, BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS, or any third party, including, but not limited to, Claims related to content that you upload to or share on the Site and/or (B) you or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS may seek a preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief in any court as provided in Section 20 in connection with any Claim whereby you or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS, as applicable, may suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages may be inadequate and impossible to calculate, where such Claim under this Section will not be subject to the informal dispute resolution procedures described in below; provided, however, that, subsequent to obtaining such preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief, the Claim will then be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 13. You and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce, and that the enforceability of Section 13 will be governed by, construed, and enforced, both procedurally and substantively, by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act 2010 (Act 798). Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, discovery is more limited than in court, there are no class or representative proceedings, and court review of an arbitration decision is limited. An arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including, but not limited to, injunctive and declaratory relief, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees). “Claim(s)” means any dispute, claim or controversy by or between you and/or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS relating to the Site and/or this Agreement (including, but not limited to, this Site’s Privacy Policy and all Additional Terms, Rules, regulations, procedures and policies which we refer to in this Agreement), as may be modified from time-to-time, and the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any contract, tort, statutory, or equity claims.

13.2 Informal Dispute Resolution.

Except with respect to Claims described in Section 13.1 above, before either you or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS pursue or participate in any Claim against the other party in arbitration or court proceedings, you or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS must notify the other party of the Claim in writing at least 60 days in advance of initiating the arbitration or court proceeding in order to provide a reasonable opportunity to resolve the Claim.

You may send a written notice of your Claim to BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS at 91A Owusu Kofi Street, Official Town, Odorkor, Accra, Attention: BraveHearts Expeditions General Counsel. BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS may send written or electronic notice of its Claim to your email address, BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS account or any physical or other address BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS has for you. The notice must describe the Claim in reasonable detail and set forth the relief requested so that the other party has an opportunity to adequately address the Claim. Except with respect to Claims described in Section 13.1above, you and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to informally resolve the Claim and, if you and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS do not reach an informal resolution of the Claim within 60 days, then the Claim may be submitted to binding arbitration as set forth in the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act 2010 (Act 798).

 

13.3      Class Action Waiver. UNLESS YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE, YOU AND BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

You and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS expressly agree that any Claim is personal to you and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS, shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration (or individual court proceedings with respect to Claims excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 13.1 of this Agreement), and shall in no event be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. The arbitrator (or court if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 13.1 of this Agreement) may only conduct an individual arbitration (or court action if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 13.1 of this Agreement), and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable in an action between you and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS, then this Agreement to arbitrate will be unenforceable. Neither you nor BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS consent to class arbitration.

  1. GOVERNING LAW, ARBITRATION LOCATION, JURISDICTION, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

With the exception of the provision above that the enforceability of Section 13 is governed both procedurally and substantively by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Act 2010 (Act 798), this Agreement and your use of the Site is otherwise governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Ghana.

You or BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS shall initiate arbitration in the Ghanaian region in which you reside. You and BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS agree that any Claim that is allowed to proceed in court as set forth in Section 13.1 of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, as a result of your submission of a valid Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice), or otherwise proceeds in court in the event the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or a particular Claim as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, is subject to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the High Courts of Ghana.

To the extent it may be applicable, if any Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND BRAVEHEARTS EXPEDITIONS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

  1. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS.

This Agreement, together with any Additional Terms, our Privacy Policy and any other regulations, procedures and policies which we refer to and which are hereby incorporated by reference, contains the entire understanding and agreement between you and the Site and supersedes any and all prior or inconsistent understandings relating to the Site and your use of the Site. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally and may not be modified except as described in this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, this will not affect any other provisions and the Agreement will be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable. Any provision which must survive in order to allow us to enforce its meaning shall survive the termination of this Agreement; however, no action relating to this Agreement or your use of the Site, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose). The laws and regulations of GHANA restrict the export and re-export of certain technology and you agree not to use, export or re-export any Material relating to the Site in violation of those laws and regulations. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not have any legal effect.
