If you have downloaded any of our mobile software applications (each, an "App") from the Apple Inc.

Governing law, mandatory arbitration and venue

Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada. Further, you and HungerLink agree to the jurisdiction of the federal and provincial courts located in Ontario, Canada, to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that relates to or arises in connection with these Terms or the HungerLink Service that is not subject to mandatory arbitration under the Arbitration Agreement below, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

This Arbitration Agreement section sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which disputes, claims and controversies between you and HungerLink will be resolved through arbitration ("Arbitration Agreement").

Dispute resolution and arbitration

You and HungerLink agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and HungerLink arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Terms or to your relationship with HungerLink as a user of the HungerLink Service (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms) will be determined by mandatory binding individual (not class) arbitration. You and HungerLink further agree that the arbitrator shall have the exclusive power to rule on her or his own jurisdiction, including any objections with respect to the existence, scope or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or to the arbitrability of any claim or counterclaim. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees and costs only where allowable under applicable law), except that the arbitrator may not award any relief, including declaratory or injunctive relief, benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will survive termination of these Terms.

No class Or representative proceedings; class action waiver

YOU AND HUNGERLINK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Unless both you and HungerLink agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person's claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court.

Enforceability

If this Arbitration Agreement is invalidated in whole or in part, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in the 'Governing law and jurisdiction' section above shall govern with respect to any aspect of any dispute, claim or controversy that, as a result of such invalidation, is no longer governed by this Arbitration Agreement.
