THE FOLLOWING CLAUSE IS NOT APPLICABLE TO QUEBEC CONSUMERS
(b.1) Disputes:
(i) All disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration under the applicable Rules of Procedure of the Vancouver International Arbitration Centre (VanIAC). The appointing authority shall be the VanIAC. The case shall be administered by the VanIAC in accordance with its Rules. The place of arbitration shall be Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
(ii) Each party will cover its own fees and costs associated with the arbitration proceedings; however, if the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay the fees and costs reasonably associated with the arbitration proceedings, we will pay them for you.
(iii) The award of the arbitrator will be final and binding, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that they will not appeal any arbitration decision to any court.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, FORM may seek and obtain injunctive relief in any jurisdiction in any court of competent jurisdiction and you agree that this Agreement is specifically enforceable by FORM through injunctive relief and other equitable remedies without proof of monetary damages.
(v) If this Section 27(b.1) is found to be unenforceable or if it does not apply to you, then the entirety of this Section 27(b.1) will be null and void and, in that case, you hereby irrevocably submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Province of British Columbia for resolution of any lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under this Agreement.

(ii) YOU AND FORM HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and FORM are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Agreement, except as specified herein. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.
(iii) ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. All other claims shall be arbitrated.
(iv) You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 200 - 1090 Homer Street, Vancouver, BC, V6B 2W9, Canada, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Agreement, or by contacting FORM using one of the methods available at formswim.com/contact-us. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of the arbitration provisions under this Agreement. If you opt out of this arbitration, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this arbitration has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
(v) Except as provided in herein, if any part or parts of this Section 27(b.2) are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Section 27(b.2) shall continue in full force and effect.
(vi) This Section 27(b.2) will survive the termination of your relationship with FORM.
(c) Notices: FORM may deliver notices under this Agreement to you by email to any email address that you provide to FORM (including when you subscribe for your Account).

(d) Force Majeure: Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, FORM will not be liable for any delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent performance is delayed or prevented due to any cause or causes that are beyond FORM’s control. Any delay or failure of that kind will not be a breach of this Agreement by FORM, and the time for FORM’s performance of the affected obligation will be extended by a period that is reasonable in the circumstances.
(e) Miscellaneous: You and FORM are non-exclusive, independent contracting parties, and nothing in this Agreement or done pursuant to this Agreement will create or be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment or other similar relationship between you and FORM. Upon request by FORM, you will execute all further documents and instruments and do all further things as may be reasonably necessary to implement and carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement. No consent or waiver by FORM to or of any breach of this Agreement by you will be effective unless in writing and signed by FORM or will be deemed or construed to be a consent to or waiver of a continuing breach or any other breach by you. Unless otherwise stated in these Terms, either party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exhaustive or exclusive of any other rights or remedies to which that party may be lawfully entitled under this Agreement or at law, and each party will be entitled to pursue any and all of its rights and remedies concurrently, consecutively and alternatively. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then the provision will be deemed severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way, unless as a result of the severance this Agreement would fail in their essential purpose. This Agreement is between you and FORM, and no other person shall have any rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including the right to enforce any of its terms. You may not assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement. FORM may assign this Agreement and any or all of FORM’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and you hereby consent to such assignment. FORM may use subcontractors to perform FORM’s obligations under this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon you and FORM and your respective successors, permitted assigns and personal representatives.

This Agreement may not be modified, except by a written agreement that expressly states that it is an amendment to this Agreement and is signed by FORM. You and FORM have expressly requested and required that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in the English language. Les parties conviennent et exigent expressément que ce Contrat et tous les documents qui s’y rapportent soient rédigés en anglais.
