14. OTHER PARTIES

The Site may be linked with the websites of third parties ("Third Party Websites"), some of whom may have established relationships with Edifier and some of whom may not.

15. UNENFORCEABLE PROVISIONS

If any provision of the Site disclaimer is, or is found to be, unenforceable under applicable law, that will not affect the enforceability of the other provisions of the Website disclaimer.


16. INDEMNITY

Without limiting any indemnification provision of this Agreement, you (the "Indemnitor") agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Edifier and the Company Parties (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, actions, demands, causes of action, and other proceedings (individually, "Claim", and collectively, "Claims"), including but not limited to legal costs and fees, and providing sole and exclusive control of the defense of any action to Edifier, including the choice of legal counsel and all related settlement negotiations, arising out of or relating to: (a) the relationship between you and Edifier, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory; (b) your breach of this Agreement, including without limitation any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; (c) your access to or use of the Site or Products; (d) your provision to Edifier or any of the Indemnitees of information or other data; (e) your violation or alleged violation of any foreign or domestic, international, federal, state, or local law or regulation; (f) your violations of Section 4 regarding prohibited uses of the Website and other prohibited conduct; or (g) your violation or alleged violation of any third party's copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights.

The Indemnitees each have the individual right, but not the obligation, to participate through counsel of their choice in any defense by you of any Claim as to which you are required to defend, indemnify, or hold harmless any, each, and/or all Indemnitees. You may not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the concerned Company Parties.


17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

17.1 Binding Arbitration

If you, on the one hand, and Edifier and Company Parties (collectively, "Arbitration Parties"), on the other hand, cannot resolve a dispute or other Claim through negotiations, any party may elect to have the dispute or Claim finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s).

You acknowledge that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial or to participate in a class action.

The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party. This Terms of Use will be governed by local laws and regulations.

The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to resolve, except that issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a Court of Competent Jurisdiction to resolve. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through document submission, through telephone, or online. The arbitrator will issue a decision in writing, but need only provide a statement of reasons if requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. The Arbitration Parties may litigate to compel arbitration in court, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall award costs to the prevailing party (including, without limitation, fees, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees) at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party, within 45 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

17.2 Restrictions Against Joinder of Claims

You and the Arbitration Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each Claim individually. Parties to arbitration under this agreement may only bring claims against the other in your or an Arbitration Party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, the Claim will still be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration upon the election of either party, and any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s). In addition: (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration, and (b) there is no right for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures, and (c) there is no right of authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.

17.3 Remedies in Aid of Arbitration; Equitable Relief

This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or the Arbitration Parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration, or confirm an arbitral award, from a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or the Arbitration Parties from applying to a Court of Competent Jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary.

The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.


18. NOTICES

All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing. Edifier shall give any notice by email sent to the most recent email address, if any, provided by the intended recipient to Edifier. You agree that any notice received from Edifier electronically satisfies any legal requirement that such notice be in writing. You bear the sole responsibility of ensuring that your email address on file with Edifier is accurate and current, and notice to you shall be deemed effective upon the sending by Edifier of an email to that address. You shall give any notice to Edifier by submitting said notice to us at support@edifier.com.


19. NO WAIVER

A waiver by either party of any term or condition of this Agreement, or any breach, in any one instance, will not waive that term or condition or any later breach.
