21. MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER
READ THIS SECTION 21 CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
DO NOT RELY SOLELY UPON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS WHEN DECIDING WHETHER TO AGREE TO SECTION 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER). THESE TERMS ARE NOT INTENDED TO CONTAIN A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARBITRATION OR WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS. CONDUCT FURTHER RESEARCH AND CONSULT WITH OTHERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO AN ATTORNEY, REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES.
You agree these Terms affect interstate commerce and the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions, not state law. This Section 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER) is intended to be interpreted broadly and, subject to the Excluded Claims (as defined below), governs Claims between OPSWAT and You, including but not limited to Claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between the parties, whether based in contract (including formation, performance, breach), tort (including intentional tort), statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or other legal theory, including consumer protection, advertising, common law; Claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, and/or Your download of, access to, or use of Services; Claims that arose before these Terms; and Claims that may arise after the termination or expiration of these Terms or the Services.
(a) Excluded Claims. “Excluded Claims” means Claims that can be resolved in the Small Claims Courts located in (1) San Francisco, California, U.S.A.: https://www.sfsuperiorcourt.org/divisions/small-claims, Department 506, 400 McAllister Street, San Francisco, CA 94102-4514 or (2) Tampa, Florida, U.S.A.: https://www.hillsclerk.com/Court-Services, Hillsborough County Courthouse, 800 E. Twiggs St. Tampa, FL 33602, Tel: (813) 276-8100.
(b) Initial Dispute Resolution. If You have a Claim involving OPSWAT, You agree that before taking formal action, You will email OPSWAT at Legal@opswat.com, and provide a written description of the Claim and Your contact information. The parties agree to use reasonable efforts to settle any Claim, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
(c) Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach a mutually agreed solution within thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under Section 21(b), either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve Claims (except for Excluded Claims). Except for Excluded Claims, all Claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or Your use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) (or, if unavailable, such other similar group that can provide former judges as arbiters) in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for Claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for Claims exceeding $250,000, in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions, by a single arbiter who is (i) fluent in written and spoken English, and (ii) skilled and experienced with software, software-as-a-service applications, and Internet services.
(d) Confidentiality. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
(e) Venue. The place of arbitration may be (i) virtual, (ii) San Francisco, California, U.S.A or (iii) Tampa, Florida, U.S.A. You and OPSWAT agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of federal or state courts located in San Francisco County, California, U.S.A. or Tampa, Florida, U.S.A. in order to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
(f) Arbitrator’s Powers. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all Claims (except for the Excluded Claims) arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including but not limited to any Claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, whether a Claim is subject to arbitration, any unconscionability challenge, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief available in a court under law or in equity, subject to Section 19 (LIMITATION OF LIABILITY). The arbitrator’s award shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The judgment of the arbitrator will be final and non-appealable (to the extent not inconsistent with Applicable Laws).
(g) Award. The arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party, if any, costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If a party prevails on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.
(h) No Jury or Court Trial. The parties understand that, absent this Section 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER), they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury or court trial. They understand that, in some instances, arbitration costs could exceed litigation costs and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. The parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND OPSWAT AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. NEITHER YOU NOR OPSWAT WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER OPSWAT CUSTOMERS OR USERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION. You cannot seek relief that will affect other OPSWAT customers or users. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this Class Action Waiver and any challenge to the Class Action Waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction. If any court determines this Class Action Waiver is void or unenforceable for any reason or an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth in this Section 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER) shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate Claims.
30-Day Right to Opt Out. You may opt out and not be bound by Section 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER) by sending written notice (including name, physical address, email, telephone, and a clear statement that You want to opt out of this Section 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER)) to opt out to OPSWAT Inc., 5411 Skycenter Dr., Suite 900, Tampa, FL 33607, with a copy to: Legal@opswat.com, Attn: ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER OPT-OUT, within thirty (30) days of Your acceptance of these Terms. Otherwise You shall be bound to arbitrate Claims in accordance with Section 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER). If You opt out of Section 21 (MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTIONS WAIVER), OPSWAT also will not be bound by Section 21.

You agree to use Services results only for internal purposes, and not to use Services results provided by the API to build or enhance a commercially available product except in accordance with a joint development or channel partner agreement with OPSWAT.

If You enter into a paid transaction with OPSWAT as evidenced by a Proof of Entitlement, You may use the “private scanning” feature to delete any files uploaded to MetaDefender Cloud immediately following analysis. If You choose this option, files you submit to MetaDefender Cloud will not be shared with OPSWAT cybersecurity Third-Party Providers.
You understand OPSWAT will provide Prevention, Sandbox, and Reputation API results with a subset of the available Anti-malware engines referred to under “Anti-malware Engines” at https://metadefender.opswat.com/licensing.
You understand that each API key to MetaDefender Cloud has daily limits for scanning with Prevention API, Reputation API, and Deep CDR (“Rate Limits”), and You agree to comply with such daily limits. You can check Your daily limits by logging into Your MetaDefender Cloud account.
Additionally, You understand that OPSWAT may limit Your actions taken within MetaDefender Cloud per minute (e.g., scanning a file by upload, data sanitization request, retrieving scan reports, or scanning IPs, URLs, or domains) as stated on https://metadefender.opswat.com/licensing (“Throttling Limits”).
If You are an existing MetaDefender Cloud customer or user, You may not purchase additional MetaDefender Cloud licenses or update Rate Limits or Throttling Limits for existing licenses through the Online Stores, and must contact OPSWAT at https://www.opswat.com/contact.

(b) An annual plan with a period three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days from the purchase date. NOTE: Under the annual plan You will not be permitted during the one year to cancel, downgrade Your MetaDefender Cloud subscription, or reduce the number of licenses, agents, usage limits, or named users.
If You select the monthly plan, You can switch to the annual plan any time. If You select the annual plan, You may not change to the monthly plan until the end of one year.
Unless either party notifies the other party in writing of its intent not to renew MetaDefender Cloud at least thirty (30) days’ prior to the end of the then-current plan, Your MetaDefender Cloud subscription plan shall automatically renew at the then-current Fees for the same plan.
