Our privacy notice governs our privacy practices when you are using our website and all other websites owned or operated by our company, including our mobile application(s), hereinafter collectively referred to as our website.

Our privacy notice tells you what personal data and nonpersonal data we collect from you, how we collect them, how we protect them, how we share them, how you can access and change them, and how you can limit our sharing of them. Our privacy notice also explains certain legal rights that you have concerning your personal data.
Any capitalized terms not defined herein will have the same meaning as where they are defined elsewhere on our website.

Definitions

NONPERSONAL DATA (NPD) means any information that is in no way personally identifiable. ‘PERSONAL DATA’ (PD) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person can be identified directly or indirectly by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. PD is in many ways the same as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). However, PD is broader in scope and covers more data. ‘SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA’ (SPD) a consumer’s social security, driver’s license, state identification card, or passport number; a consumer’s account login, financial account, debit card, or credit card number in combination with any required security, access code, password, or credentials allowing access to an account; a consumer’s exact geolocation; a consumer’s ethnic or racial origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership; the contents of a consumer’s mail, text messages, and email unless the business is the intended receiver of the communication; a consumer’s genetic data; the processing of biometric data for uniquely identifying a consumer; personal information collected and analyzed about a consumer’s health; sex life or sexual orientation. Sensitive personal Information that is “publicly available” is not considered sensitive personal information or personal information.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Cookies and reports on access figures

We use “session cookies” from VG Wort, Munich, to measure access to texts in order to record the probability of copying. Session cookies are small units of information that a provider stores in the RAM of the visitor’s computer. A randomly generated unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. In addition, a cookie contains information about its origin and the storage period. Session cookies cannot store any other data. These measurements are carried out by Kantar Germany GmbH using the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM). They help to determine the copy probability of individual texts for the remuneration of legal claims of authors and publishers. We do not collect any personal data via cookies.
In this way, we enable our authors to participate in the distributions of the VG Wort, which ensure the statutory remuneration for the uses of copyrighted works in accordance with § 53 UrhG.
It is also possible to use our offers without cookies. Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser to notify you as soon as cookies are sent.

Privacy policy on the use of the Scalable Central Measurement System.

Our website and our mobile website use the “Scalable Central Measurement Method” (SZM) of Kantar Germany GmbH to determine statistical parameters for determining the copy probability of texts.
Anonymous measurement values are collected in the process. The access count measurement alternatively uses a session cookie or a signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information of your browser, for the recognition of computer systems. IP addresses are only processed in anonymized form.
The procedure was developed in compliance with data protection. The sole aim of the procedure is to determine the copying probability of individual texts.
At no time are individual users identified. Your identity always remains protected. You will not receive any advertising via the system.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where we send your data

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Remarketing

Our website and applications use advertising remarketing services. These remarketing services are provided by companies that show our ads on websites and devices across the Internet. With remarketing, you may see ads for our products you have previously looked at. As an example, suppose you visit a website that sells computers, but you do not buy a computer on your first visit to that website. The website’s owner might like to encourage you to revisit their site and buy a computer by showing you their ads on other websites that you visit. We use remarketing for similar purposes. For this to happen, remarketing companies will read a cookie in your browser. This can only happen if your browser is set to let it happen. You can opt out of these types of advertising cookies by visiting http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

Sharing Your PD for Lookalike or Similar Audience Marketing

We may share your PD with third parties for similar audience marketing purposes. Similar audience marketing is also called lookalike audience marketing. The third parties we share your PD with for this type of marketing include Facebook and/or Google. Using your PD for similar audience marketing or lookalike audience marketing helps us find new audiences (users and customers) based on similar interests to yours. This helps us improve our marketing services. Your PD is only shared with Facebook and Google for this type of marketing. By using our website and agreeing to our privacy notice you are giving consent for your PD to be used for the marketing purposes described within this section.

What Happens If You Don’t Give Us Your PD?

If you do not provide us with enough PD, we may not be able to provide you with all our products and services. However, you can access and use some parts of our website without giving us your PD.

How Your Pd Is Used and Shared

We use the information we receive from you to:

• provide our products and services you have requested or purchased from us;
• personalize and customize our content;
• improve the marketing performance of our partners and affiliates;
• make improvements to our website;
• contact you with updates to our website, products, and services;
• resolve problems and disputes; and

We may also send you emails with promotional information about our website or offers from us or our affiliates unless you have opted out of receiving such information. You can change your contact preferences at any time through your account or by contacting us using the information at the top of this privacy notice.

Text Messaging, SMS, Push Notifications, and Telephone Calls

If you provide a mobile telephone number or a landline telephone number to us, you are giving your express consent and authorizing a third party or us to contact you by using any of these communication methods. You are not required to give us your consent to contact you through these communication methods. However, withholding your consent may interfere with or prevent us from providing some or all of our services to you. You can stop receiving text messages, push notifications, and telephone calls at any time by contacting us or using one of our opt-out methods.

Sharing Information with Third Parties

We do not sell or rent your PD to third parties for marketing purposes. However, for data aggregation purposes, we may use your NPD, which might be sold to other parties at our discretion. Any such data aggregation would not contain any of your PD. At times, we give your PD to third-party service providers whom we hire to provide services to us so that we may provide certain services to you. These third-party service providers may include but are not limited to payment processors, web analytics companies, advertising and marketing networks, call centers, data management services, help desk providers, providers of registered agent services in states in which we do not have a physical presence, financial institutions and financial technology companies, government agencies including the Internal Revenue Service, Office of Foreign Assets Control, and the United States Department of Treasury, accountants, law firms, auditors, shopping cart and email service providers, and shipping companies.

Legally Required Releases of Information

We may disclose your PD if such disclosure is (a) required by subpoena, law, or other legal processes; (b) necessary to assist law enforcement officials or government enforcement agencies; (c) necessary to protect us from legal action or claims from third parties, including you and or other users; or (d) necessary to protect the legal rights, personal and or real property, or the personal safety of our company, users, employees, and business partners.

Disclosures to Successors

If our business is sold or merges as a whole or in part with another business that would become responsible for providing the website to you, we retain the right to transfer your PD to the new business. The new business would retain the right to use your PD according to the terms of this privacy notice, as well as to any changes to this privacy notice as instituted by the new business. We also retain the right to transfer your PD if our company files for bankruptcy and some or all of our assets are sold to another individual or company.

Community Discussion Boards, Blogs, or Other Mechanisms

Our website may offer the ability for users to communicate through online community discussion boards, blogs, or other mechanisms. If you choose to post on these discussion mechanisms, you should use care when exposing any PD, as such information is not protected by our privacy notice, nor are we liable if you disclose your PD through such postings. Also, PD that you post on our website for publication may be available worldwide on the Internet. We cannot prevent the use or misuse of such information by others.

Retaining And Destroying Your PD

We will maintain your PD in a structure that identifies you only for as long as it serves the purpose(s) for which it was initially collected as stated in this privacy notice, or for legal, business, or tax purposes. We will attempt to permanently erase or anonymize your PD once it reaches the end of its retention period or if we receive a valid request from you to do so. However, our ability to permanently erase or anonymize your PD will be limited by certain legal and attorney ethical obligations to which we are subject (for example, certain laws require us to keep information about your identity during the time we provided registered agent services). In addition, some of your data may still exist within our systems, for example, if it is waiting to be overwritten or when this data has been put away from use, meaning that while it still exists on our archive system, it cannot be readily accessed by any of our operating systems, or any of our employees or contractors.

Protecting The Privacy Rights of Third Parties

If you make any postings on our website that contain information about third parties, you agree that you have permission to include that information. While we are not legally liable for the actions of our users, we will remove any postings about which we are notified if such postings violate the privacy rights of others.

Do Not Track Settings

Some web browsers have settings that enable you to request that our website not track your movement within our website. Our website does not obey such settings when transmitted to and detected by our website. You can turn off tracking features and other security settings in your browser by referring to your browser’s user manual.

Links To Other Websites

Our website may contain links to other websites. These websites are not under our control and are not subject to our privacy notice. We have no responsibility for these websites, and we provide links to these websites solely for your convenience. You acknowledge that your use of and access to these websites are at risk.

Protecting Children’s Privacy

Our website is not designed for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect PD from children under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child is using our website and they are under the age of 18, please contact us. Before we remove any information, we may ask for proof of identification to prevent malicious removal of account information. If we discover that a child under the age of 18 is accessing our website, we will delete their information within a reasonable period. You acknowledge that we do not verify the age of our users, nor do we have any liability to do so.

Our Email Policy

You can always opt out of receiving email correspondence from us or our affiliates. We will not sell, rent, or trade your email address to any unaffiliated third-party without your permission, except in the sale or transfer of our company, or if our company files for bankruptcy as described in the Disclosures to Successors section.

Our Security Policy

We have built our website and services using industry-standard security measures and authentication tools to protect the security of your PD. We and the third parties who provide services to us, and we also maintain technical and physical safeguards to protect your PD. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the prevention of loss or misuse of your PD or secure data transmission over the Internet because of its nature. We strongly urge you to protect any password you may have for our website and not share it with anyone.

Use Of Your Credit Card

You may have to provide a credit or debit card to buy products and services from our website. We use third-party billing services and have no control over them. We use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that your credit card number is kept strictly confidential by using only third-party billing services that use industry-standard encryption technology to protect your credit card number from unauthorized use. However, you understand and agree that we are in no way responsible for any misuse of your credit card number.

Transferring Pd from Other Countries

PD that we collect from you may be stored, processed, and transferred among any countries in which we operate. The European Union has not found the United States and some other countries to have an acceptable level of protection of PD under Article 45 of the GDPR. Our company relies on derogations for specific situations as defined in Article 49 of the GDPR. If you are a European Union user or a user from another country, with your consent, your PD may be transferred to the United States or other countries when you request information from us. When you buy goods or services, we will use your PD for the performance of a contract with you. Wherever we transfer, process, or store your PD, we will attempt to apply reasonable safeguards to protect it. We will use the information we collect from you by following the practices described in our privacy notice. Also, we enter into data processing agreements and standard contractual clauses when appropriate. By using our website, services, or products, you agree to the transfers of your PD described within this section.

Changes To Our Privacy Notice

We reserve the right to change this privacy notice at any time. If our company decides to change this privacy notice, we will post those changes on our website so that our users and customers are always aware of what information we collect, use, and disclose. If at any time we decide to disclose or use your PD in a method different from that specified at the time it was collected, we will provide advance notice by email sent to the email address on file in your account. Otherwise, we will use and disclose our users’ and customers’ PD in agreement with the privacy notice in effect when the information was collected. In all cases, your continued use of our website, services, and products after any change to this privacy notice will constitute your acceptance of such change. If you have questions about our privacy notice, please contact us through the information at the top of this privacy notice.

However, because the Business Entity is not a real person and may not have a physical location in the state of formation, each state requires that a person or Business Entity with a physical presence in the state be named as the registered agent to accept service of process and other legal documents for that Business Entity.

Responsibilities of the Registered Agent

So long as the Registered Agent always knows your mailing address and how to contact you, the Registered Agent will notify you within seventy-two (72) business hours after receipt of any legal service of process directed to your Business Entity that is received by Registered Agent. The pertinent documents will be forwarded to you at the email address you have provided for electronic delivery or through your client portal with an email notification sent to the email address on file.

The Registered Agent provides you with the notification, and once you receive the documents from the Registered Agent’s office, it is your responsibility to respond or otherwise address the legal matter. If you have not provided the Registered Agent with a valid email address through which the Registered Agent may notify you, the Registered Agent’s contractual obligation to notify you is null and void, and the Registered Agent has no further responsibility to notify you in any way.

Any service of process and legal documents received by or sent to Registered Agent’s address for your Business Entity will be opened, scanned, and deposited in your client portal without prior notification for no additional fee.

Mail Received for your Business Entity

The Registered Agent will Process (defined below) five (5) pieces of first-class mail, general business documents, and other items (collectively, “Mail”) on behalf of your Business Entity each year for no additional fee. So long as the Registered Agent is serving, you authorize the Registered Agent to accept, open, review, determine in its sole and unreviewable discretion whether such Mail is “junk” mail or other mail, scan, forward, shred, and/or deposit in your Client portal such Mail as an authorized representative of our Company (collectively, “Process”). If your Business Entity receives more than five (5) pieces of Mail, you agree that we may Process excess Mail and charge your payment method on file at the then-current rate an additional Mail handling fee for an additional five (5) pieces of mail. If you do not have a valid payment method on file and want to view Mail that has been Processed and made available in your Client portal, you will need to either (1) renew your service with us and pay any fees incurred prior to cancellation or (2) pay a per document fee in order to view the Mail in your Client portal.

Not the Responsibility of the Registered Agent

The Registered Agent’s duties do not include answering or responding to service of process or legal documents or getting involved in any manner with any court proceeding, demand letters, litigation, or threats of litigation.

Responsibilities of Client

It is your responsibility to keep a current email address and physical address on file with us. If we do not have your email address or the email address you have provided is invalid, we may but are under no obligation to mail the documents to the physical address that you have supplied to us in contact information and charge you an additional handling fee.

For the Registered Agent to adequately perform the duty of prompt notification of service of process, and to comply with the laws of the Business Entity’s state of formation, it is important that you always keep the Registered Agent informed of the current contact information for your Business Entity. You agree to keep us up to date with your contact information, including:

• The email address to which all service of process is to be delivered;
• The names and addresses of each director, officer, manager, partner, trustee, or other persons serving in a similar capacity; and
• The name, business address, business telephone number, and email address of a natural person who is an officer, director, employee, or designated agent of the Business Entity who is authorized to receive communications from the Registered Agent and is deemed the designated communications contact for the Business Entity.

Client Notifications via SMS

In order to offer you enhanced Product alert services, we may, at our discretion, provide additional options for receiving notifications through alternative channels, including Short MesGTEC Service (SMS) to the mobile phone number you have provided. However, please note that the provision of Product alerts via SMS are subject to the specific requirements outlined below:

Advance Request: To receive Product alerts via SMS, Clients must explicitly request this service in advance. This can be done by following the instructions provided on our website/app or by contacting our customer support team.

Opt-Out Option: Clients have the freedom to opt-out of receiving Product alerts via SMS at any time. To exercise this option, Clients can modify their preferences through the settings available on our website/app or by contacting our customer support team.

Registered Agent Non-Automatic Renewal

Registered Agent will charge Business Entity an annual fee for acting as Business Entity’s Registered Agent. This fee is due and owing to before the anniversary date of the initial date on which we are named as Registered Agent for the Business Entity. This annual fee and the services offered may be changed from time to time. Registered Agent will notify you of the impending annual fee and service changes 30 days in advance of each anniversary date by sending one or more emails to the email address you provided. In these emails, you will be asked to complete a form that you will return to the Registered Agent.

Registered Agent Automatic Renewal

We provide automatically renewing Registered Agent services to provide your Business Entity with business interruption protection. Your Registered Agent service will renew automatically each year on the anniversary of the date on which we first began to serve as Registered Agent for your Business Entity until you notify us that you want to terminate your Registered Agent service under this Agreement or your Registered Agent service is otherwise terminated. Registered Agent will notify you of the impending annual fee and service changes in advance of each anniversary date by sending one or more emails to the email address you provided. This annual fee and services offered may be changed from time to time. If you do not notify us, your payment method will automatically be charged for the renewal term of your Registered Agent service. If a charge made to your payment method is declined, we may make up to five attempts to bill that payment method over a thirty-day period. We may obtain automatic updates for any expiring credit cards you have provided.

Notice of Automatic Renewal

We will send reminder emails to your account’s email address of record at least 15 days before automatically renewing your Registered Agent service. Unless required by law in the state where you reside, we are not obligated to provide this notice. You acknowledge that (i) your failure to read, (ii) your inability to receive, or (iii) our failure to send the email creates no liability for the Registered Agent or any third-party service.

Cancellation of Automatic Renewal

Cancellation of your automatic renewal terminates your Registered Agent service. To cancel the automatic renewal of your Registered Agent service, you must notify us 30 days in advance of your intent to cancel by emailing us or by canceling online through the Client portal. We agree that when we receive notice of this cancellation, no further charges will be billed to your credit card automatically subject to your obligations regarding termination or cancellation.

After termination by us or termination or cancellation by Client and at the end of the then-applicable Term, you agree that:

• You are responsible for all expenses incurred by your use of the Registered Agent services after termination or cancellation including, but not limited to, shipping charges incurred to forward Mail received on your behalf.
• You must assign another registered agent in that jurisdiction or act as your own registered agent, where lawful, and must pay all fees related to changing your registered agent (including appointment and/or registration fees).
• You must notify us that you have properly changed registered agents by the next renewal date and provide us with satisfactory written proof that we are no longer listed as your registered agent in jurisdiction or registration.
• If you no longer wish to use the Registered Agent services because you are discontinuing your business operations (voluntarily or otherwise), you must provide us with satisfactory written proof that your Business Entity has been voluntarily dissolved with the state filing office, or that its status with the state filing office (or other government agency) is inactive (e.g., revoked, suspended, forfeited, canceled, noncompliant, delinquent, or administratively dissolved) by the next renewal date.
• If you cancel Registered Agent services because your Business Entity has been voluntarily dissolved or its status is inactive, we as your Registered Agent, in our sole discretion and in accordance with state filing offices requirements, may resign as your Business Entity’s Registered Agent.
• We, as your Registered Agent, may continue to be listed as your Business Entity’s Registered Agent if your state filing office does not accept resignation filings or other amendment filings for voluntarily dissolved or inactive entities.
• We as your Registered Agent may continue to be listed as your Business Entity’s Registered Agent if resigning as Registered Agent requires filing of documents, incurring or expense, or other action on our part.
• If you fail to provide us with satisfactory written proof of your change of your registered agent or of your discontinuation of business operations, you will continue to incur charges for our Registered Agent services until such proof is provided.

After you replace us as your registered agent, or we otherwise resign, any Mail that your Registered Agent receives on your behalf will be marked “Return to Sender” if it is first class mail or destroyed if it is not. You waive and release your Registered Agent from compliance with any obligation to forward or re-mail any Mail received after your service has been terminated and you specifically agree that your Registered Agent has no obligation to forward or re-mail Mail to you except as expressly stated in this Agreement. You agree to hold us, your Registered Agent, and the affiliates of each harmless from any claim to the contrary.

You acknowledge that you have sole responsibility for notifying senders (including all government agencies) of your new registered agent address.

Handling of Legal Documents after we are no longer your Registered Agent.

Once we are no longer your Registered Agent, if we receive further legal service or process documents on your behalf, we will send an email notice to the last known email address that we have on file for you. If you want to view a legal service of process document, you will need to renew your service with us, pay any fees incurred prior to cancellation or pay a per document fee to view the legal service of process document. Once you take one of these actions, we will upload the legal service of process document processing to your client portal so that you can view it.

Upon termination of us as your Registered Agent, you release us from any and all liability or duty we had or that we continue to have to notify you about legal service of process documents or any Mail that we might continue to receive, even if our office address is still listed on any part of the corporate filing or if we are still listed as the Registered Agent.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO BRING A CLAIM IN COURT OR IN FRONT OF A JURY.

IN ADDITION, YOU AND COMPANY GTEC AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY WAIVED ALL RIGHT TO LITIGATE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION.

It is also agreed that: (1) the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision; (2) the arbitrator shall apply Wyoming law to all other matters associated with the dispute or claim; (3) the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before a single AAA arbitrator under AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (the Rules, fees, and procedures are available at www.adr.org or may be obtained by calling 800-778- 7879); (4) you may choose to have the arbitration based only on documents submitted to the arbitrator or by hearing in person or by telephone; (5) in-person arbitration shall take place in (i) Cheyenne, Wyoming; or, (ii) if the agreement to arbitrate in Cheyenne, Wyoming would render this provision unenforceable, in-person arbitration shall take place in (a) any other location mutually agreed upon by the parties, including the county in which you live; or (b) if the parties are unable to agree, at a location set by the arbitrator; (6) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any party may at any time seek injunctions or other forms of equitable relief in arbitration or a court of competent jurisdiction; (7) the enforceability of this provision shall be decided by a court and not the arbitrator; (8) the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties, and judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction; and (9) the arbitrator shall be entitled to award all damages and relief as would be available in court.

If either party intends to initiate arbitration under this Agreement, the party seeking arbitration must first notify the other party of the dispute in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of initiating arbitration. Notice to Company GTEC must be sent to Company GTEC, Attention: Lawsuit Protection Plan Resolution Manager, 1309 Coffeen Ave, Suite Two, Sheridan, Wyoming 82801. The notice must describe the nature of the claim or dispute and the relief being sought. If we are unable to resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days, either party may then proceed to file a claim for arbitration. If you are unable to afford the arbitration filing fee and provide us with signed written notice of your inability to afford the filing fee, we will pay the fee directly to AAA. If arbitration proceeds, we will pay all other fees as required by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. Each party shall bear his/her/its own attorneys’ fees and costs. If for any reason, the prohibition on class, collective, representative, or private attorney general actions is held to be unenforceable by a court of law, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that dispute. If a claim proceeds through court rather than arbitration, YOU AND COMPANY GTEC AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. This arbitration provision survives expiration, termination, or rescission of this Agreement. Unenforceability or invalidity of one or more clauses in this arbitration provision shall not influence any other clause in this provision. If it is possible, any unenforceable or invalid clause in this provision shall be modified to show the original intention of the parties.
