Any dispute or claim arising from, relating to, or connected with these Terms of Use, the DocsNetwork Ltd. Services, the DocsNetwork Ltd. Content including Digital Content, any DocsNetwork Ltd. account and/or any Digital Library (each a “Claim”) will be resolved by binding arbitration (rather than in court).

The place of arbitration shall be the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or, where limited by applicable law, the jurisdiction in which you reside or may be conducted by telephone, online or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. Notwithstanding this Section 16, we may bring a Claim for injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights or those of our affiliates, suppliers, or licensors.
WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS.

You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any Claim or cause of action you may have must be filed within one (1) calendar year after such Claim or cause of action arises, or forever be barred.
For purposes of any Claim that is not subject to the arbitration procedures in this Section 16, we both agree to the governing law and jurisdiction as set out in Section 15.1 above.
