26.1 Governing Law

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.

26.2 Dispute Resolution

(a) Generally. If a dispute arises between Fantrax and you, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Fantrax agree that the parties will resolve any claim, dispute or controversy at law or equity that arises out of or relates in any way whatsoever to this Agreement or the Fantrax Service (a "Claim") in accordance with one of the subsections below or as we and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

(b) Choice of Law; Forum. This agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York between New York residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim you may have against Fantrax must be resolved exclusively by a court located in New York County, New York, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York County, New York for the purpose of litigating all such Claims.

(c) Arbitration Option. For any Claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Improperly Filed Claims. Any Claim you bring against Fantrax must be resolved in accordance with this Section 26.2 (Dispute Resolution). Any Claim asserted or filed contrary to this Section 26.2 (Dispute Resolution) shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a Claim contrary to this Section 26.2 (Dispute Resolution), Fantrax shall recover its incurred fees in defending against the Claim to the maximum extent permitted by law, provided that Fantrax has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to withdraw the Claim within five business days of your receipt of such notice.

26.3 Waiver

A provision of this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of Fantrax to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
