24. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

24.1 Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof, that cannot be settled through the Complaint Process in Section 23, shall be finally settled on an individual basis, in accordance with the BVI IAC Arbitration Rules for the time being in force, which rules are deemed incorporated by reference in this clause. The place of arbitration shall be the BVI IAC at Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands or by remote video. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English and the Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award any punitive or exemplary damages, certify a class action or join the claims of one party with any other party, add any parties, or vary or ignore the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall render a written opinion setting forth all material facts and the basis of his or her decision within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the arbitration proceeding. In the event that the choice of law and venue provisions in this arbitration agreement are held unenforceable, the remainder of the arbitration provision, requiring arbitration of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, will survive.
