- Disputes; Mandatory Arbitration.
- You and Midy agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to the Services (a “Claim”) will be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction.
- Small Claims Court. Either you or Midy can seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the dispute. Either you or Midy may seek to have a Claim resolved in small claims court in your county of residence or in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.
- Arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision, and that you and Midy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Terms and/or the termination of your Services.
- Notice of Claim. If you elect to seek arbitration, you must first send to us, by certified mail, a written Notice of Your Claim (“Notice of Claim”). The Notice of Claim to us should be addressed to: Midy General Counsel, NortonLifeLock Foreign Holding II Inc., 60 Rio Salado Pkwy #1000, Tempe AZ 85281, and should be prominently captioned “NOTICE OF CLAIM.” The Notice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address you would like us to use to contact you. If Midy elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim to your billing address on file. A Notice of Claim, whether sent by you or by Midy, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought (“Demand”); and (c) whether you reject any subsequent modification of this Section by Midy.
- Arbitration Proceedings. If we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Claim is received, you or Midy may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, alternatively, file a claim in small claims court). The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as appropriate, of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified by the Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. You may download or copy a form of notice, a form to initiate arbitration, and a copy of the Rules at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision. Unless Midy and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of either your residence or of the mailing address you provided in your Notice of Claim. If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, Midy agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the way the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you, in addition to the award, either U.S. $500 or 10% of the amount awarded, whichever is greater.
- Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 8(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by you or us 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 Midy 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.
- Arbitration Fees. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. You are required to pay AAA’s initial filing fee, but Midy will reimburse you for this filing fee at the conclusion of the arbitration to the extent it exceeded the fee for filing a complaint in a federal or state court in your county of residence or in Santa Clara County, California. Midy will not seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying under the AAA Rules or these Terms, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).
- Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT WE 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. If you have elected arbitration, unless Midy determines otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one 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 Section 8 (Disputes; Mandatory Arbitration) is null and void.
- Changes. If we change this Section 8 after the date you first accepted these Terms, and you have not otherwise affirmatively agreed to such changes, you may reject any such change by so stating within your Notice of Claim. By failing to reject any changes to this Section 8 in your Notice of Claim, you agree to resolve any Claim between you and us in accordance with the terms of the dispute resolution section in effect as of the date of your Notice of Claim.
- Content Updates. We may update certain Services from time to time, such as virus definitions, spyware definitions, antispam rules, URL lists, firewall rules, vulnerability data, and updated lists of authenticated web pages. These updates are collectively referred to as “Content Updates.” You will have access to applicable Content Updates for the Services unless the Terms is terminated or the Services are otherwise suspended, deactivated, or made to be non-operational by us.
- Feedback and Reviews. When you give us any feedback, reviews, suggestions, comments, or ideas (“Feedback”) that relate to the Services, you are granting us the free, irrevocable, worldwide right and license to use such Feedback it for any purpose whatsoever to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, including the creation of derivative works from such Feedback, which shall be owned by Midy. No compensation will be paid with respect to the use of your submission. Midy is under no obligation to post, use, or keep any submission you may provide and we may remove any submission at any time in our sole discretion.
- Changes to the Services. We may change or discontinue the Services, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without notice to you. We also reserve the right to define eligibility criteria for the Services and make changes to those criteria at any time.

You agree to comply with all relevant export control laws, including U.S. trade embargoes and sanctions and security requirements, and applicable country or local laws to the extent compatible with U.S. laws and will not export, re-export, import or otherwise make available any Controlled Technology in contravention to U.S. law nor to any prohibited country, entity, or person for which an export license or other governmental approval is required, directly or indirectly.
- Suspension or Termination of Your Account. We may discontinue, suspend, or terminate any Services or your access to or use of the Services at any time for any or no reason, including if you breach any material terms of these Terms.
- Governing Law. Except as otherwise required herein or by law, the Terms of Service is governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America. You agree that the United Nations Conventions on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (1980) is specifically excluded from and does not apply to the Terms
- Notice of Changes to the Terms of Service. We may update or modify the Terms of Service from time to time, including any referenced policies and other documents, at our sole discretion. It’s important that you review the Terms whenever we update it, or you use the Services. If you continue to use the Services after we have posted an updated Terms, it means that you accept and agree to the changes. If you don’t agree to be bound by the changes, you may not use the Services anymore. The only exception is for changes to Section 8 “Disputes; Mandatory Arbitration” section, for which Section 8(i) applies.

Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
