(3) THIS AGREEMENT DOESN’T ALLOW CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE AAA RULES WOULD.

(5) SYNCWISE OFFERS CUSTOMERS THE OPTION OF PARTICIPATING IN A MEDIATION PROGRAM. CUSTOMER HAS ALL THE RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS OF A MEDIATOR AND THE PROCESS HAS ALL THE PROTECTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH MEDIATION. SUCH AS, NOTHING SAID IN MEDIATION CAN BE USED LATER IN AN ARBITRATION OR LAWSUIT.
(6) AN ARBITRATION AWARD AND ANY JUDGMENT CONFIRMING IT APPLY ONLY TO THAT SPECIFIC CASE; IT CANNOT BE USED IN ANY OTHER CASE EXCEPT TO ENFORCE THE AWARD ITSELF.
(8) IF FOR ANY REASON THE PROHIBITION ON CLASS ARBITRATIONS SET FORTH IN SUBSECTION (3) CANNOT BE ENFORCED, THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS VOID.
(9) IF FOR ANY REASON A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES AGREE THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY WAY. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
WAIVER/SEVERABILITY: No waiver of any part of this Agreement, or of any breach of it, in any instance waives any other instance or breach. No term or condition of this Agreement is waived and no breach is waived unless that waiver is in writing and signed by both Parties. If any section of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable, including anything regarding the arbitration process (except for the prohibition on class arbitrations as explained in the arbitration section above), that section may be removed from this Agreement. All other sections of this Agreement are still valid and enforceable.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES: Notwithstanding anything else herein, this Agreement does not create any fiduciary relationships between the Parties, or between Customer and any affiliate or Service Partner. This Agreement does not create any relationship of principal and agent, partnership or employer and employee between the Parties or between Customer and any affiliates or Service Partners, nor does it create a relationship between Syncwise and a secondary user on Customer account. This Agreement does not create any such relationship between Syncwise and a Corporate Subscriber.
THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES: Without limitation of anything else set forth herein, Customer has no contractual relationship whatsoever with any of Syncwise’s affiliates or Service Partners and this Agreement does not give Customer any rights against any affiliate or Service Partner. Customer is not a third-party beneficiary of any agreement between Syncwise, any affiliate or Service Partner. No affiliates or Service Partners have any legal, equitable, or other liability of any kind to Customer under this Agreement. In contrast, Syncwise parent companies, affiliates subsidiaries, agents, predecessors in interest, successors in interest and Service Partners are intended beneficiaries of the protections contained in this Agreement relating to limitations regarding the Service and its use and limitations on liability.
ASSIGNMENT: Syncwise may assign this Agreement, or any debt Customer owes, in whole or part, to any individual or entity, at any time, without notice, in Syncwise’s sole discretion. Customer cannot assign this Agreement, or any portion thereof, without Syncwise’s written consent and any attempted assignment without Syncwise’s written consent is null and void.
