      I. Dispute Resolution, Mandatory Arbitration, and Waiver of Class Actions and Class Arbitrations

      1. Dispute Resolution: The provisions in this Section I apply to all disputes between you and DTF Station. The term "Dispute" encompasses any disagreement, claim, controversy, or legal action between you and DTF Station arising from or related to this Agreement (including its creation, performance, or violation), the Software, DTF Station Hardware, the parties' relationship, or any other transaction involving you and DTF Station. This includes contract disputes, warranty claims, misrepresentation, fraud, tort, intentional tort, statutory violations, regulatory violations, or any other legal or equitable basis. However, "Dispute" excludes claims for (a) trademark infringement or dilution, (b) patent infringement, (c) copyright infringement or misuse, or (d) trade secret misappropriation (an "IP Claim"). You and DTF Station also agree that a court, not an arbitrator, will determine if a claim is an IP Claim.
      2. Initial Dispute Resolution: Before initiating arbitration proceedings as outlined in this Section I, you and DTF Station commit to attempting to resolve any Dispute informally for a 60-day period. If no resolution is reached during this time, either party may proceed with arbitration as per Section I(6). To notify DTF Station of a Dispute, please send correspondence to: DTF Station, email title ATTN: Legal Department, info.dtfstation@gmail.com. The notification must include your name, address, contact information, details of the Dispute, and the remedy sought. Both parties agree to act in good faith to resolve Disputes before resorting to arbitration per Section I(2).
      3. Binding Arbitration: If no mutually acceptable solution is reached within the 60-day informal resolution period described in Section I(2), either party may initiate binding arbitration. You and DTF Station agree to resolve all Disputes through binding arbitration under this Agreement. ARBITRATION MEANS YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO A JUDGE OR JURY TRIAL IN COURT, AND YOUR RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL ARE LIMITED COMPARED TO COURT PROCEEDINGS. This arbitration will be administered by JAMS, a nationally recognized arbitration provider, following the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or its relevant code of procedures for consumer disputes, excluding any rules permitting class arbitration (more details in Section I(6) below). You and DTF Station acknowledge that (a) the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.) governs this Section I, (b) this Agreement pertains to interstate commerce, and (c) Section I will remain valid even after this Agreement terminates.
      4. Exception—Small Claims Court: Despite the arbitration agreement, either party may pursue an individual action in the small claims court of their state or municipality if the claim falls within the court's jurisdiction and is exclusive to that court.
      5. Waiver of Class Action and Class Arbitration: Both parties agree that they will bring Disputes against each other only in an individual capacity and not as class actions or class arbitrations. If any court or arbitrator deems the class action waiver in this paragraph unenforceable, or if arbitration can proceed on a class basis, the entire arbitration provision in this Section I is nullified.
      6. Arbitration Procedure: If either party initiates arbitration, it will be governed by the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or applicable JAMS rules at the time of filing, excluding rules allowing for class arbitration. All Disputes will be resolved by a single impartial arbitrator, selected according to JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, who will adhere to the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, not any court or agency, will have the exclusive authority to settle Disputes regarding the interpretation, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement. The arbitrator may award remedies available in court, and arbitration costs may exceed litigation costs. Each party may retain legal counsel at their expense. The arbitrator's decision is binding and can be entered as a judgment in any competent court. You may opt for arbitration by phone or online with mutual agreement; otherwise, hearings will occur near your residence or in Orange County, California, at your discretion.
      7. 30-Day Opt-out Right: You have the option to exclude yourself from the mandatory, binding individual arbitration and class action waiver specified in Section I by sending a written letter to the DTF Station address in Section I(2) within 30 days of agreeing to this Agreement. This letter must contain your name, mailing address, and the request to be excluded from the arbitration and class action waiver in Section I. If you opt-out as described, all other terms in this Agreement will apply, including the requirement to provide notice before litigation. DTF Station will also not be bound by these arbitration provisions if you opt-out.
      8. Amendments to Section I: Despite any contrary provisions in this Agreement, you and DTF Station agree that if DTF Station modifies the dispute resolution and class action waiver provisions in this Agreement (except for changes to DTF Station's address), DTF Station will seek your affirmative agreement to the applicable amendment. If you do not agree, you consent to resolving Disputes between the parties according to the language of this Section I (or as provided in Section I(7) if you opted out when you initially agreed to this Agreement).
      9. Severability: If any provision in this Section I is determined unenforceable, that provision will be severed, leaving the remainder of this Agreement in full effect. This exception does not apply to the class action prohibition in Section I(5). Therefore, if Section I(5) is unenforceable, Section I (but only Section I) will be void.

        The warranty and remedy detailed above are exclusive and replace all other express or implied warranties, including but not limited to, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so these limitations may not apply to you.
