DISPUTE RESOLUTION
For the purposes of this provision, the term “Dispute” means any dispute,
controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to (i) this Agreement, its
interpretation, or the breach, termination, applicability or validity thereof, (ii) the
related order for, purchase, delivery, receipt or use of any product or service
from Synology, or iii) any other dispute arising out of or relating to the
relationship between You and Synology; the term “Synology” means Synology,
Inc, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
beneficiaries, agents, assigns, component suppliers (both hardware and
software), and/or any third party who provides products or services purchased
from or distributed by Synology; and the term “You” means you, or those in
privity with you, such as family members or beneficiaries. For US customers, you
and Synology agree that any Dispute between You and Synology will be
resolved exclusively and finally by arbitration under the current commercial rules
of the American Arbitration Association, except as otherwise provided below.
The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator, and will be limited
solely to the dispute between You and Synology. The arbitration, or any portion
of it, will not be consolidated with any other arbitration and will not be conducted
on a class-wide or class action basis. The arbitration shall be held in King County,
Washington by submission of documents, by telephone, online or in person as
determined by the arbitrator at the request of the parties. The prevailing party in
any U.S. or non-U.S. arbitration or other legal action shall receive all costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any arbitration fee paid by the prevailing
party. Any decision rendered in such arbitration proceedings will be final and
binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of
competent jurisdiction. You understand that, in the absence of this provision, You
would have had a right to litigate Disputes through a court, including the right to
litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action basis, and that You have expressly
and knowingly waived those rights and agreed to resolve any disputes through
binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. For
non-US customers, any Dispute shall be finally resolved by arbitration
