22. GOVERNING LAW.

23. BINDING ARBITRATION. You and Iridium agree to submit all disputes to confidential arbitration on an individual and purely bilateral, non-class/non-representative basis. Arbitration on an individual basis is the exclusive remedy for any disputes which might otherwise be brought on a class, collective or representative basis between you and Iridium. This agreement to arbitrate will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 (the “FAA”) and shall be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall take place in Virginia, USA. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and Iridium shall select a mutually agreeable arbitrator from the AAA. Unless otherwise precluded by law, You and Iridium shall each separately pay your or its own attorneys’ fees and costs.

You agree that if any provision of this arbitration agreement is held by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, or void, that provision shall be struck from the agreement to arbitrate, and the remainder of the arbitration agreement shall remain in full force and effect consistent with applicable law. However, in the event the provisions above waiving or precluding class arbitration proceedings are found to be invalid, unenforceable, or void for any reason, the entire agreement to arbitrate shall be void.

Notwithstanding the above, if the dispute concerns a matter for injunctive or other similar relief that is appropriate under applicable law, for instance the enforcement or validity of our, or our licensors’ intellectual property rights, we may seek such injunctive or other similar relief in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction.
 
24. LIMITATION ON DISPUTES. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to Your use of the Site or Services or the Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

Unless otherwise set forth in a services delivery agreement between You and Iridium, this Agreement constitutes the entire and exclusive and final statement of the agreement between You and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and governs Your access to the Site and Your use of the Services, superseding any prior agreements or negotiations between You and us with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
26. WAIVER. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision or of any other rights or provisions in these Terms.
 
27. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of these Terms remain in full force and effect.
 
28. MISCELLANEOUS. The section titles in the Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. You and we are acting as independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement creates an agency or partnership. You may not assign Your rights under this Agreement without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment will be null and void.
 
29. SURVIVAL. The terms of Sections 8 through 18, Section 29, and any other limitations on liability explicitly set forth herein, will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement for any reason. Our (and our licensors’) proprietary rights (including any and all intellectual property rights) in and to Our Content, Our Technology and the Site or Services will survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Agreement for any reason.
