The failure of Corestream to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TERMS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, which we may subsequently so exercise or enforce.

ARBITRATION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; LIMITATION ON PUNITIVE DAMAGES

Any cause of action, claim, suit or demand by any user of the Service, allegedly arising from or in any way related to these TERMS, the Privacy Policy referenced herein, the services provided by Corestream, the content of Corestream’s website, and/or the alleged violation by Corestream of any statutory, constitutional, regulatory, or common law right allegedly owed by Corestream to the user, shall be resolved by binding, confidential arbitration in a State chosen by user in which Corestream is subject to personal jurisdiction, before an arbitral body possessing at least ten consecutive years of experience in providing and performing arbitral services, except that the American Arbitration Association may not be designated as such arbitral entity. Any and all questions as to whether or not an issue constitutes a dispute or other matter arbitrable under this provision shall themselves be settled by arbitration in accordance with this provision. The arbitrator shall have the discretion to permit discovery, upon a showing of good cause, but such discovery shall be limited to requests for the production of documents and up to five depositions per side, each of which is not to exceed two days. The arbitral body may not impose upon the parties, without their prior express written consent, any rules characterized as rules for complex cases; if the arbitral body purports to do so, its role will automatically terminate and the party initiating the arbitration shall select another arbitral body. Any arbitration award shall be final, binding, and conclusive upon the parties and their privies, and a judgment rendered thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties knowingly waive any and all rights to trial by jury or any issue in any arbitration between them pursuant to this provision. In an arbitration initiated under this provision, no party may seek, will be entitled to, or may recover punitive damages more than three (3) times the amount of compensatory damages that are proven and awarded, no matter how small or large the amount of such compensatory damages. All parties consent to the imposition and issuance by the arbitrator of equitable orders and remedies (such as temporary restraining orders, preliminary and permanent injunctions, and restitutionary awards), and agree to abide by and comply with such orders.
