The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
GLASS Government Ecosystems and you agree that these Terms & Conditions affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions in this section.
For purposes of this section, we will use the capitalized word "Dispute" to mean any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms & Conditions (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), GLASS Government Ecosystems, your (or anybody else's) access to and/or use of GLASS Government Ecosystems, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through GLASS Government Ecosystems.
In the event of a Dispute, GLASS Government Ecosystems or you must give the other notice of the Dispute. This notice must include a brief written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, as well as the facts giving rise to the Dispute and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to GLASS Government Ecosystems by email to inbox@discover.glass To the extent that GLASS Government Ecosystems has your contact information, it will send any such notice to you by U.S. Mail and your email address.
We will try to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date that any notice of Dispute is sent by email. GLASS Government Ecosystems and you shall use reasonable, good faith efforts to settle any Dispute through good faith negotiations. After 30 days, GLASS Government Ecosystems or you may resort to the other alternatives described in this section.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disputes concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of GLASS Government Ecosystems shall not be subject to arbitration, and the notice and 30-day negotiation period required by this paragraph shall not apply to these types of Disputes.
Except as otherwise specifically set forth below, any Dispute of any kind, if unresolved through informal negotiations within 30 days of the sending of the notice (email) described above, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in the U.S. state in which you reside. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in California, and GLASS Government Ecosystems and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in California to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms & Conditions, and administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1 (800) 778-7879.
GLASS Government Ecosystems shall bear the cost of any arbitration filing fees and arbitration fees for claims of up to $5,000, unless the arbitrator finds your claims, defenses, or other fee-generating activity to be asserted or conducted for an improper purpose or frivolous. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expert witness costs unless GLASS Government Ecosystems is specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims that total more than $5,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing fees and arbitration fees. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on GLASS Government Ecosystems and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. GLASS Government Ecosystems and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Terms & Conditions and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney's fees. GLASS Government Ecosystems and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, GLASS Government Ecosystems and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. GLASS Government Ecosystems and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and that the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If GLASS Government Ecosystems' or your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, the party bringing the claim may choose whether the arbitration of the claim will be conducted, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules, solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator.
You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the provisions requiring arbitration by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to GLASS Government Ecosystems by email to inbox@discover.glass. The notice must be sent within 30 days of your first use of any of GLASS Government Ecosystems. If you do not opt out via this method, you will be bound to arbitrate Disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of the provisions requiring arbitration, GLASS Government Ecosystems will not be bound by them either. If any clause within this Disputes/Arbitration section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of its provisions will be given full force and effect. In any event, if for any reason a Dispute between GLASS Government Ecosystems and you is before a court (e.g., if the arbitration provisions are found unenforceable or if pursuant to these Terms & Conditions the matter is not subject to arbitration), GLASS Government Ecosystems and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
This Disputes/Arbitration section will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of GLASS Government Ecosystems, or any employee, officer, director, or investor of GLASS Government Ecosystems, and to any claims asserted by any of them against you, to the extent that any such claims arise out of or relate to these Terms & Conditions (such as with respect to their validity or enforceability), GLASS Government Ecosystems, any person's access to and/or use of GLASS Government Ecosystems, and/or the provision of content, products, services, and/or technology on or through GLASS Government Ecosystems.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class/consolidated/representative action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class, consolidated, or representative basis, then the disputes, claims, or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in California.

Subject to the foregoing restriction, these Terms & Conditions will be binding on, inure to, and enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. GLASS Government Ecosystems may assign these Terms & Conditions in its sole discretion by providing you notice of the same.

Headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of any section.
GLASS Government Ecosystems' failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of these Terms & Conditions will not constitute a waiver of GLASS Government Ecosystems' right to enforce such provision or any other provision of these Terms & Conditions.
