8. Disputes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the introductory section above, if Genuin changes this Section 8 after the date Customer first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), Customer may reject any such change by sending Genuin written notice within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the “Date of Last Revision” date above or in the date of Genuin’s email to Customer notifying Customer of such change. By rejecting any change, Customer is agreeing that it will arbitrate any dispute between Customer and Genuin in accordance with the provisions of this section as of the date Customer first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms). In the event of a dispute, the parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within twenty (20) days, except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, both parties waive their right to bring a claim before any court and may exclusively submit to arbitration, held in English, in Salt Lake City, UT, by a sole arbitrator in accordance with the regulations of the American Arbitration Association. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon both parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within one hundred twenty (120) days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit in the interest of justice. Each party shall be responsible . for its own attorneys’ fees and other expenses in connection with the arbitration; provided that the parties will share equally in the fees and expenses of the arbitrator. Notwithstanding the dispute resolution procedures set forth above, in the event of an actual or threatened breach hereunder, the aggrieved party may seek equitable relief (including restraining orders, specific performance or other injunctive relief) in any court or other forum, without first submitting to any dispute resolution procedures hereunder.
9. Security. Genuin has implemented commercially reasonable and industry standard technical and organizational measures designed to secure the Customer Data from unauthorized access, alteration, use, or disclosure and accidental loss. However, the Customer acknowledges that Genuin cannot guarantee that unauthorized third parties will never be able to defeat these measures.
10. General. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to principles governing choice of law. The U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. For all purposes under this Agreement each party shall be and act as an independent contractor and shall not bind nor attempt to bind the other to any contract. Genuin will be solely responsible for its income taxes in connection with this Agreement and Customer will be responsible for sales, use and similar taxes, if any. Without limiting anything herein, and except for payment obligations, neither party shall have any liability for any failure or delay resulting from any condition beyond the reasonable control of such party, including but not limited to governmental action or acts of terrorism, earthquake or other acts of God, labor conditions and power failures. Neither party shall have the right to assign this Agreement, except that either party may assign its rights and obligations without consent to a successor to substantially all its relevant assets or business. No change or modification to (except as provided in the introductory section above) or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by both parties. Any notices in connection with this Agreement will be in writing and sent by first class US mail, confirmed facsimile or major overnight delivery courier service to the address specified in the Order Form (for Customer) or in the Service (for Genuin), or such other address as may be properly specified by written notice hereunder.
