You intentionally and knowingly give up your right to go to court to assert or
defend your rights. You also give up your right to participate in or bring
class actions. You and your employer's rights will be determined by neutral
arbitrators and not a judge or jury.
All arbitration
will be held before one arbitrator under the arbitration rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") in force at that time. The
arbitration will be conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah. The arbitrator will be
selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection
of an arbitrator be in effect, you will select an arbitrator from a panel of
arbitrators acceptable to Pyramid Platform. In any arbitration, Pyramid
Platform will pay the filing fee, plus the costs associated with the first day
of arbitration, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the
non-prevailing party. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a
written demand.
Any judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of
competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators will not have the power to multiply
actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each
party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The agreement to arbitrate will not
be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of an arbitration
under these Terms of Use with an arbitration of disputes or claims of any
non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.
Should a
dispute arise, and should the arbitration provisions become inapplicable or
unenforceable, you agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit will be
exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Salt Lake County, Utah.
If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any
dispute or lawsuit the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys' fees.
Injunction
You acknowledge
and agree that a breach or violation of these Terms of Use will result in
immediate and irreparable injury and harm to Pyramid Platform and its
licensors. In such event, Pyramid Platform shall have, in addition to any and
all remedies of law and other consequences under these Terms of Use, the right
to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent
violation of your obligation under these Terms of Use without any obligation to
post a bond or other security, and you expressly waive any obligation for the
posting of any such bond or security; provided, however, that, this shall in no
way limit any other remedies which Pyramid Platform may have, including,
without limitation, the right to seek monetary damages.

any reason unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including, but not limited
to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations contained herein, then

the intent of the original provision and shall not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. Unless otherwise specified herein
