DISPUTE RESOLUTION
This Agreement is construed and governed by the laws of Italy. All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement, including those related to its validity, performance, interpretation, expiration or termination, shall be settled by arbitration under the Rules of the Chamber of Arbitration of Milano, Italy, by a sole arbitrator, appointed in accordance the Rules, which are deemed to be incorporated by reference into this clause. The sole arbitrator shall decide according to the rules of law of Italy, the arbitration will take place in Milano, Italy and the language of the arbitration shall be Italian. All disputes, controversy or differences which may arise out or in connection with or in relation to this Agreement and which, due to their particular nature, may not be subject of arbitration, shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Italy and the exclusive competence of the courts of Milan. The Parties hereby disclaim the application of the United Nations Convention on the Sake of Goods.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
If Vivocha incurs any costs (including attorneys’ fees) in collecting amounts owed by you or in complying with a legal order arising from your activities, then you shall be obligated to reimburse Vivocha for all such costs.
GOVERNING AGREEMENT
This Agreement is the entire agreement between Vivocha and you relating to access to the Vivocha Services. It does not matter what someone at Vivocha tells you or writes you or they have told you or written to you in the past: If it is not in this Agreement, then it does not apply.
There are two exceptions to this statement. First, if Vivocha and you have signed a “services” agreement or “service order.” This Agreement only affects that agreement to the extent that this Agreement relates to the digital platform. Second, the terms of this Agreement are amended and modified if Vivocha and you sign a separate written agreement that expressly states that it changes the terms of this Agreement. An exchange of emails does not constitute a written agreement.
OTHER RELEVANT TERMS
These terms control Vivocha’s relationship with you. This Agreement does not create what are called “third party beneficiary rights.”
If Vivocha does not do anything when you do something that violates this Agreement, that inaction does not mean that Vivocha permits that action or that it has given up any rights it may have arising from this Agreement or elsewhere.
A court’s decision that some terms are not enforceable does not mean that the other terms are affected.
Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any cause of action by you (or a third party) arising out of or related to your use of the Vivocha Services (including this Agreement) must be filed within one (1) year after the event giving rise to such cause of action or be forever barred.
All headings are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
