(iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. Apple is not responsible for the
investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third-party claim that your possession and use of the
App
infringe that third party's intellectual property rights. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party
beneficiaries

accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary thereof. Apple and its

should survive, shall survive termination of this Agreement, including without limitation, ownership provisions,
warranty disclaimers, arbitration and governing law, and limitations of liability.
11. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration
law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth in Section 12 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all
Disputes (defined below) that you and Polarrcan are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal
courts
located in the County of San Francisco, and you and Polarrcan each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue
in
such courts.
12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
12.1 Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or
relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of
the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved SOLELY BY BINDING, INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION
AND NOT IN A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION OR PROCEEDING. You and Polarrcan agree that the U.S.
Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Polarrcan are
each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall
survive termination of these Terms.
12.2 Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 12.1 above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small
claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief
from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.
12.3 Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect,
except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A
party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other
party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a
different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues
relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
12.4 Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA
Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying,
unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration, we’ll pay all of our
attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you
will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable
law.
12.5 Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 12.2 above, the arbitrator shall determine
all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive
relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief
warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public
injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts
that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a
civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of
public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
12.6 Class Action Waiver. YOU AND POLARRCAN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR
ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator
may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a
representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety
of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
12.7 Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding the provisions outlined in Paragraph 4 regarding
“Changes to Terms or Services” above, if Polarrcan changes any of the terms of this Section 12

Section 12 “Dispute Resolution” as of the date you most recently accepted these Terms.
12.8 Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 12.6 of these Terms ("Class Action
