Dispute Resolution.
6.1
Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any
dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (Dispute), you and Grey Box
agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days prior to initiating any arbitration or
court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one
person or entity to the other in accordance with the Notice section above.
6.2
Binding Arbitration. If you and Grey Box are unable to resolve a Dispute
through informal negotiations, either you or Grey Box may elect to have the Dispute
(except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by
binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the
other. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and, where appropriate,
the AAAs Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (AAA Consumer
Rules), both of which are available at the AAA website http://www.adr.org. The
determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your
arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA
Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may
be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The
arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons
unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award
may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, you and Grey Box may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay
proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the
award entered by the arbitrator.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO
ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING
UPON OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR
THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN
CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT
INDUCEMENT THEREOF. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS PROVISION,
YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
6.3
Restrictions; Class Action Waiver. You and Grey Box agree that any
arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Grey Box and/or Six Foot on the one
hand, and you individually on the other hand. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no
arbitration shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute
to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii)
there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative
capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
6.4 Exceptions to Informal Resolution and Binding Arbitration. You agree
that Grey Box may chose, at its option and discretion, to exclude the following Disputes
from (and, as such, the following Disputes will not be subject to) the above provisions
concerning informal resolutions and binding arbitration: (i) any Dispute related to or
arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or the unauthorized use of
Grey Boxs or its third party providers intellectual property and/or intellectual property
rights; and/or (ii) any claim by Grey Box for injunctive or other equitable relief.
6.5 Location and Jurisdiction. Any arbitration will be initiated in and take place
in the County of Harris, State of Texas, United States of America. Any Dispute not
subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where
no election to arbitrate has been made, including without limitation the Disputes
contained in Section 6.4, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction in the
County of Harris, State of Texas, United States of America, and you and Grey Box agree
to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You hereby waive any claim that
such locations are improper or inconvenient.
6.6 Severability. You and Grey Box agree that if any portion of this Section 6
(Dispute Resolution) is found illegal or unenforceable (with the exception of 6.4), that
portion shall be severed and the remainder of this section shall be given full force and
effect. If Section 6.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Grey
Box will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 6.4 found to be
illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent
jurisdiction within the County of Harris, State of Texas, United States of America, and
you and Grey Box agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

Test has been terminated or completed and/or (ii) your participation in the Alpha Test has
been terminated.
8.3

a terrorist supporting country, and (b) you are not listed on any United States
Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. Without limiting the foregoing, you
