agreement entered into by the parties with respect to the Product, this Warranty will prevail unless the other agreement
specically references the sections of this Warranty that it supersedes.
4.4 Applicable Law. Unless expressly prohibited by local law, this Warranty is governed by the laws of the State of
Washington, U.S.A. without regard to any conict of law principles to the contrary. The 1980 U.N. Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods or any successor thereto does not apply.
4.5 Dispute Resolution. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Warranty, the Product or services
provided by Synology with respect to the Product or the relationship between Customers residing within the United States and
Synology will be resolved exclusively and nally 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 Customer 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, U.S.A. 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 arbitration or legal action occurring within the United States or otherwise 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 nal and binding on the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of
competent jurisdiction. Customer understands that, in the absence of this provision, Customer would have had a right to litigate
any such dispute, controversy or claim in a court, including the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action basis,

and Customer expressly and knowingly waives those rights and agrees to resolve any disputes through binding arbitration
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.5. For Customers not residing within the United States, any dispute,
controversy or claim described in this section shall be nally resolved by arbitration conducted by three neutral arbitrators in
accordance with the procedures of the R.O.C. Arbitration Law and related enforcement rules. The arbitration shall take place in
Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C., and the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in English or, if both parties so agree, in Mandarin
Chinese. The arbitration award shall be nal and binding on the parties and may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict Synology from seeking injunctive relief or seeking such other rights
and remedies as it may have at law or equity for any actual or threatened breach of any provision of this Warranty relating to
Synology's intellectual property rights.
4.6 Attorneys' Fees. In any arbitration, mediation, or other legal action or proceeding to enforce rights or remedies under
this Warranty, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled, costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees.
4.7 Export Restrictions. You acknowledge that the Product may be subject to U.S. export restrictions. You will comply with all
applicable laws and regulations that apply to the Product, including without limitation the U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
4.8 Severability. If any provision of this Warranty is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Warranty will remain in full force and effect.
4.9 Entire Agreement. This Warranty constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes any and all prior agreements,
between Synology and Customer related to the subject matter hereof. No amendment, modication or waiver of any of the
provisions of this Warranty will be valid unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the party to be bound thereby.
