12.1 Licensee and Apifiny agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from this Agreement, except for disputes in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Licensee’s agreement to participate in arbitration shall preclude Licensee from suing in court or seeking a jury trial.
12.2 Licensee and Apifiny agree to notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of the date on which the notifying party discovers such dispute. Notice to Apifiny shall be sent to legal@spifiny.com.
12.3 Any dispute, controversy, difference or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, including the existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination thereof or any dispute regarding non-contractual obligations arising therefrom shall be referred to and finally resolved in binding arbitration, on an individual basis, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes (accessible at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf) and you and Apifiny hereby expressly waive trial by jury and right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator and shall take place in New York City, or another mutually agreeable location, in the English language. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could award, including attorneys’ fees when authorized by law, and the arbitral decision may be enforced in any court. At your request, hearings may be conducted in person or by telephone and the arbitrator may provide for submitting and determining motions on briefs, without oral hearings. To the extent permitted by law, the prevailing party in any action or proceeding to enforce this Agreement shall be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.
Subject to Section 9 hereofIf the arbitrator(s) or arbitration administrator would impose filing fees or other administrative costs on you, we will reimburse you, upon request, to the extent such fees or costs would exceed those that you would otherwise have to pay if you were proceeding instead in a court. We will also pay additional fees or costs if required to do so by the arbitration administrator’s rules or applicable law. Apart from the foregoing, each Party will be responsible for any other fees or costs, such as attorney fees that the Party may incur. If a court decides that any provision of this section 12.3 is invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the other parts of this section 12.3 shall still apply. In any case, the remainder of this Agreement will continue to apply.
12.4 Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of New York, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

Licensee may not assign this Agreement or any interest or rights granted hereunder to any third party without the prior written consent of Apifiny.

This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the occurrence of any prohibited assignment.
13.2 Waiver.
No failure by either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement will act as a waiver of such rights and no waiver of a breach in a particular situation shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
