For use outside of the United States: The following sentence shall apply to the extent your use of the Service takes place in Israel: This Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Israel, without giving effect to its laws pertaining to conflict of Laws, and to the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, any and all disputes in connection with this Agreement shall be submitted to the exclusive and personal jurisdiction of the competent courts or tribunals, as relevant, located in the city of Tel Aviv, Israel.

21. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION

For use within the United States: Any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the performance, breach or termination thereof, shall be finally settled by binding bilateral arbitration in New York County, New York, under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“Rules”) by one arbitrator appointed in accordance with such Rules. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND TOM ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Notwithstanding the above, nothing in the terms of this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
1. Notice of Arbitration; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). TOM’s address for Notice is: The Reut Group – From Vision to Reality, HaPelech St 7, Tel Aviv-Yafo, 6816727, Israel. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or TOM may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or TOM must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by TOM in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, TOM will pay to you the higher of: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator; or (ii) $10,000
2. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with this Section, TOM will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York County, New York, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse TOM for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
3. No Class Actions. YOU AND TOM 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 PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and TOM agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
4. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If TOM makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to TOM’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to TOM’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with TOM will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
5. Enforceability.
