This limitation on authorized users includes, but is not limited to, hosting applications such as the provision of e‐mail, FTP, HTTP, VoIP, and Telnet access. Although resale of such services is prohibited, a business rate plan allows for the hosting of these services for the business’s own purpose (e.g., employee email, basic business website for marketing).

OzarksGo cannot guarantee that the Service can be provisioned to a specific location. OzarksGo may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject any potential Subscriber. Because of the complex nature of the Service, availability, and the underlying infrastructure, it may not be possible to provide the Service to everyone.

OzarksGo may contract with third parties to provide portions of the Service.

16. MONITORING THE SERVICE

22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION

OzarksGo and Subscriber agree to resolve all disputes and claims between OzarksGo (including OzarksGo’s Parties as defined herein) and Subscriber related to or associated with the Service through binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted. It includes, but is not limited to all claims or disputes arising out of or relating to any to any aspect of the relationship between OzarksGo and Subscriber, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory. It also includes all claims and disputes that arose before this or any prior agreement; claims that are currently the subject of purported class action litigation in which Subscriber is not a member of a certified class; and claims that may arise after the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing agreement, OzarksGo is not bound to use arbitration to initiate debt collection against Subscriber except in response to claims Subscriber may have made in arbitration. In addition, by agreeing to resolve disputes through arbitration, SUBSCRIBER AND OZARKSGO AGREE TO UNCONDTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER.

A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice"). A Notice to OzarksGo should be addressed to:

OzarksGo
Notice of Dispute
PO Box 1368
Fayetteville, AR 72702

A Notice must include the Subscriber’s name, account number, address, and telephone number, and must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). A Notice to Subscriber from OzarksGo will be addressed to the billing address that OzarksGo has on file for Subscriber.

If OzarksGo and Subscriber do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 45 days after the Notice is received, Subscriber or OzarksGo may commence an arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the AAA, as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA or as mutually agreed to, in writing, by the Subscriber and OzarksGo.

The arbitrator is bound by the terms of the Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. Unless OzarksGo and Subscriber agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Washington County, Arkansas. The right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

The arbitrator's decision shall be final and legally binding and judgment may be entered thereon. Each party shall be responsible for its share of the arbitration fees in accordance with the applicable Rules of Arbitration. In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitrator's award, or fails to comply with the arbitrator's award, the other party is entitled to costs of suit, including a reasonable attorney's fee for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award.

23. JURISDICTION

The Agreement is governed by Arkansas law without regard to conflict of law provisions. To the extent any suit is filed related to this Agreement, the federal and state courts located in Arkansas alone have jurisdiction over all disputes arising out of or related to the Agreement and the Service. Subscriber consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts sitting in Arkansas with respect to such matters, and waives Subscriber’s rights to removal.

24. NO THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS

The Agreement is made solely for the benefit of the Subscriber and OzarksGo and does not, and will not, be construed to grant any rights or remedies to any other person or entity other than expressly provided for in the Agreement.

25. MISCELLANEOUS

The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Subscriber and OzarksGo with respect to Subscriber’s use of the Service. Subscriber may not assign any rights or delegate any duties under the Agreement without the prior written consent of OzarksGo, and any attempted assignment or delegation without such consent will be void. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected or impaired thereby. The foregoing does not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions that is part of the arbitration provision in Section 20; if that prohibition is found to be unenforceable, the entire DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION provision (but only the DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION provision) will be null and void and the dispute will be heard by a court. OzarksGo may amend or replace such unenforceable provision with one that is valid and enforceable and which achieves, to the extent possible, the original objectives and intent of OzarksGo as reflected in the original provision. Nothing in this Agreement or in the understanding of the parties confers upon the parties the status of agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. OzarksGo will not be liable for delays, damages or failures in performance because of causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of a government in its sovereign capacity, acts of war, terrorism, acts of a public enemy, fires, earthquakes, acts of God, labor disputes, strikes, work slow-downs or other labor-related activity.
