The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement.

All domestic (U.S.) disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial arbitration rules of Resolute Systems, Inc. that were in force as of April 30, 2008.

The arbitrator shall render a naked award. Judgment on any arbitral award under this Agreement may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration undertaking in this Agreement shall be governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1 et seq. and, in the case of arbitrations involving one or more non-U.S. parties, by the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards and the U.S. legislation implementing the same, 9 U.S.C. 201 et seq.

To the extent that the Arbitration provisions of this Agreement do not apply, this Agreement will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving Cook County, Illinois, United States, and the parties agree and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts, except that nothing will prohibit ShortTrack from instituting an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive relief or protect or enforce its intellectual property rights.

Entire Agreement and Assignment

This Agreement, which incorporates the ShortTrack Privacy Policy, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter.
