We will make every reasonable effort to resolve any disagreements that You have with Bird Buddy. If those efforts fail, by using the App You agree that any claim, dispute, or controversy You may have against Bird Buddy arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this Agreement and/or the App, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration, as defined in this Section 14.

If You are a resident of the United States of America: (a) any such arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable rules and procedures established by the AAA (the “AAA Rules and Procedures”); (b) the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by the AAA pursuant to the AAA Rules and Procedures (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for You), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by You and Bird Buddy; (c) the arbitrator shall apply California law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (d) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis, arbitration can decide only Your and/or Bird Buddy’s individual claims, and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (e) in the event that You are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Bird Buddy will pay as much of Your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; (f) all arbitration submissions, communications, and proceedings shall be made or conducted in English; and (g) with the exception of clause (d) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the AAA Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.

If You are a resident of any country other than the United States of America: (a) any such arbitration shall be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the Rules of Arbitration of the ICC (the “ICC Rules of Arbitration”); (b) the arbitration shall be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by You and Bird Buddy; (c) the arbitrator shall apply Delaware law consistent with the ICC Rules of Arbitration and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (d) all arbitration submissions, communications, and proceedings shall be made or conducted in English; and (e) if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the ICC Rules of Arbitration, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.
