(1) Egnyte, including its affiliates, subcontractors and other partners, and their respective officers, agents, employees, predecessors-in-interest, successors, and assigns (individually, an "Egnyte Party", and collectively, the "Egnyte Parties"), and you agree that any and all disputes and claims that each of you and any Egnyte Party may have against the other that arise out of or relate to the Egnyte website and your use of it, including the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity of these Terms of Use, including the agreement to arbitrate (the "Arbitration Agreement") and the scope or applicability of this Arbitration Agreement ("Dispute(s)"), including but not limited to the arbitrability of any and all Disputes, and even if the events giving rise to Disputes occurred before this Arbitration Agreement became effective, will be resolved in a binding, confidential, individual, and fair arbitration process, and not in court. Each of you and any Egnyte Party agree to give up the right to sue in court. Each of you and Egnyte also agrees to give up the right to have claims heard by a jury and the ability to seek to represent, in a class action or otherwise, anyone but each of you and the Egnyte Parties (see paragraph 7 and section entitled "Class Action Waiver" below). The only exceptions to this Arbitration Agreement are that (i) each of you and the Egnyte Parties retains the right to sue in small claims court and (ii) each of you and the Egnyte Parties may bring suit in court against the other to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

(2) This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of these Terms of Use or your cessation of access of the Egnyte website.

(3) Any arbitration between you and any Egnyte Party will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") and will be governed by the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. If you and we cannot agree on who that single arbitrator should be, then the AAA shall appoint an arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.

(4) If either you or any Egnyte Party wants to arbitrate a claim, you or such Egnyte Party must first send by mail to the other a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice, the specific facts giving rise to the Dispute, the Egnyte website content to which the Notice relates, and the relief requested. Your Notice to any Egnyte Party must be sent by mail to Arbitration Notice of Dispute, Attn: Egnyte Legal, 1350 W Middlefield Road, Mountain View, CA 94043. The Egnyte Party will send any Notice to you in accordance with the contact information that you provide. It is the sender's responsibility to ensure that the recipient receives the Notice. During the first 45 days after you or we send a Notice to the other, you and we may try to reach a settlement of the Dispute.

If you and we do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days, either you or we may initiate arbitration in accordance with the rules and procedures provided for by AAA. The arbitration shall take place in the County of Santa Clara, California.

(5) Regardless of how the arbitration proceeds, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain his or her findings and conclusions. Except as set forth below, each of you and the Egnyte Party shall split evenly the arbitration fees imposed by AAA.

(6) Each of you and the Egnyte Party may incur attorneys' fees during the arbitration. In addition to whatever rights you may have to recover your attorneys' fees under applicable law, if you prevail in the arbitration, and if the Egnyte Party failed to make a settlement offer to you before the arbitration or the amount you win is at least 25% greater than the Egnyte Party's highest settlement offer, then the Egnyte Party will pay your reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to the amount the arbitrator awarded. If the Egnyte Party wins the arbitration, you will be responsible for your own attorneys' fees. In addition, if the arbitrator, at the request of the winning party, finds that the losing party brought a claim or asserted a defense frivolously or for an improper purpose, then regardless of the amount in dispute, the arbitrator must order the losing party to pay both sides' arbitration fees and may order the losing party to pay the winning party's reasonable attorneys' fees, unless such an award of fees is prohibited by applicable law.

(7) The arbitrator 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. The arbitrator may not order the Egnyte Party to pay any monies to or take any actions with respect to persons other than you, unless the Egnyte Party explicitly consents in advance, after an arbitrator is selected, to permit the arbitrator to enter such an order.

(8) You and the Egnyte Parties agree to maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and shall not disclose the fact of the arbitration, any documents exchanged as part of any mediation, proceedings of the arbitration, the arbitrator's decision, or the existence or amount of any award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration (in which case anyone becoming privy to confidential information must undertake to preserve its confidentiality), or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a provisional remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or court order.

YOU AND EGNYTE 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, REPRESENTATIVE OR MULTI-CLAIMANT PROCEEDING. Further, unless the Egnyte Party agrees, the arbitrator may not consolidate other persons' claims with yours and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, multi-claimant, or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the above Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, but the rest of this Agreement, including the provisions governing where actions against Egnyte or a Egnyte Party must be pursued, will remain in effect.

These Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to or application of choice of laws, rules, or principles. Both parties expressly waive any objections or defense based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or venue.

Except with respect to Disputes to be resolved through an arbitration process in accordance with the Arbitration Agreement contained above, you and the Egnyte Parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in the County of Santa Clara, California to resolve any Dispute arising out of the Agreement or the Egnyte website. YOU HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIMS, COUNTERCLAIMS, CROSS-CLAIMS, OR THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS) ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OF USE.

YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE EGNYTE WEBSITE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. AFTER SUCH PERIOD, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.

You agree to indemnify and hold the Egnyte Parties harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of or in connection with your misuse of the Egnyte website, your breach of these Website Terms of Use, your violation of any rights of another, or any content that you transmit through the Egnyte website.
