13. Governing Law.
Any claim, dispute or cause of action arising from these Terms or any use of our Website, any Content or the Service (“Dispute”) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to any conflicts of law provisions therein.
14. Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver.
YOUR AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE YOUR CLAIMS. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THIS SECTION 14. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT YOU FILE IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT IN THE STATE OR MUNICIPALITY OF YOUR RESIDENCE WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL LIMITS OF THE SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND AS LONG AS SUCH MATTER IS ONLY PENDING IN THAT COURT. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING BUT THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES MAY BE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. AN ARBITRATOR’S DECISION IS AS ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND IS SUBJECT TO A VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THIS SECTION 14 AS A CONDITION OF ACCESSING OR USING OUR WEBSITE, ANY CONTENT OR THE SERVICE.
Informal Dispute Procedures. For any Dispute you have with M2M or concerning these Terms, you agree to first contact us at insights@m2mcapital.com and to attempt to resolve such Dispute informally.
Arbitration. In the unlikely event that we are unable to resolve any Dispute you bring to our attention after sixty (60) days, and for any other Dispute we raise, you and M2M agree that, except where prohibited by law, all Disputes shall be resolved individually and exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by JAMS, and conducted before a single arbitrator, all pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures that are in effect at the time arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”). For more information on JAMS, the JAMS Rules, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, you may visit the JAMS website at www.jamsadr.com.
No Class Actions or Class Wide Relief. You and M2M agree to the following with respect to the arbitration of any Dispute hereunder: (a) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU WILL NOT ACT AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN ANY LAWSUIT AGAINST M2M IN ANY COURT, OR IN ARBITRATION, WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS. ANY CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (b) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF; (c) the arbitration will be held in the federal judicial district in which you reside, unless you and we both agree to another location or telephonic arbitration and except to the extent that you have, in any way, violated or threatened to violate any of our intellectual property rights; (d) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we 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 as compared to the cost of litigation; (e) we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to assume responsibility for any or all of the costs of the arbitration; (f) the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law; (g) the arbitration will be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by applicable law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award; (h) the arbitrator may award any individual money or equitable relief or individual remedies that are in favor of only the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim and that are expressly permitted by applicable law; and (i) each party will pay its own attorneys’, experts’, and witnesses’ fees and expenses, unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses and the arbitrator awards such attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded will be determined by the applicable law. 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. To reduce the time and expense of the arbitration, the arbitrator will not provide a statement of reasons for his or her award unless requested to do so by all parties. ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, WHETHER ON AN INDIVIDUAL OR A CLASS BASIS, IS HEREBY WAIVED.
Survival. This Section 14 “Dispute Resolution; Class Action Waiver” will survive termination of these Terms or termination of your right to access or use our Website or the Service for any and all Disputes you have relating in any way to the use of our Website or the Service. With the exception of the subpart prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the JAMS Rules, then the balance of this provision will remain in effect and will be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal, or conflicting part was not contained herein.
15. General Terms.
No Joint Venture or Agency Relationship. You agree that your use of our Website or the Service does not create any joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship between you and M2M.
No Implied Waiver. Any failure of M2M to exercise or enforce any rights or provisions of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Headings. All headings provided in these Terms are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
Assignment. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you. Any assignment or transfer by you shall be null and void.

Interpretation. If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid or inapplicable, M2M and you nevertheless agree that the court or arbitrator should endeavor to give effect to our intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
Severability. If any term or provision of these Terms is declared unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason by any court or arbitrator in any jurisdiction, then such term or provision will be deemed severable from the remaining terms or provisions in such jurisdiction and will not affect the validity and enforceability of such remaining terms or provisions in these Terms.
Entire Agreement. These Terms (including the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and M2M with respect to your access or use of our Website or the Service, and supersede any prior agreements or understanding between you and M2M.
Termination. We may terminate this agreement with you under these Terms at any time by notifying you in writing (which may be via email) and/or by restricting your access to our Website.
Notice. Notices to you by M2M may be made via any of the following methods: in-app messaging through our mobile app, email, or regular mail. Also, we may provide notices of changes to these Terms or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices to you on our Website.
Translation. These Terms may have been translated if we have made them available to you on our Website. You agree that the original English text shall prevail in the case of a Dispute.
