The validity, construction, and interpretation of these Terms, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware in the United States, excluding its conflicts of laws principles. However, as explained below, the agreement to arbitrate in the following paragraph is governed by United States federal law.
You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or in connection with Onyx's business or these Terms or relating in any way to the Services shall be determined by binding arbitration. You further agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to arbitrate, and any such arbitration hearing shall be heard in Miami, Florida.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and is more informal than a lawsuit in state or federal court. Discovery in arbitration is more limited than is generally available in the courts and the arbitrator's decision is also subject to very limited appellate review by the courts.
You also agree to waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. These waivers are mutual as between you and Onyx, and Onyx waives its right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class 7 action against you. This means that neither you nor Onyx can seek to assert class or representative claims against each other either in court or in arbitration and no relief can be awarded on a class or representative basis. The arbitrator also may not consolidate or join another person's claim with your claim or issue an order that would achieve the same result. You and Onyx further agree that if the provisions of this paragraph are found to be unenforceable, then the entire provision compelling arbitration shall be null and void.
You also agree that all issues are for the arbitrator to decide. This includes all issues related to the scope, application, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall also decide whether any claim is subject to arbitration.
The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.com. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. If your claim in arbitration is for less than $10,000, Onyx will reimburse you for filing fees at the conclusion of the proceeding unless your claim is found to be frivolous by the arbitrator.
In lieu of arbitration, you may also elect to have your claims decided in small-claims court, so long as the small-claims court does not permit class, representative, or consolidated actions, or the award of relief in favor of any person or entity that is not a named party to the small-claims action.
Onyx reserves the right to change, suspend, remove, discontinue or disable access to the Services at any time and without notice. In no event will Onyx be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to any portion or feature of the Services.
If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Enforcement of the Terms is solely in our discretion and our failure to enforce a provision in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such provision in other instances.
Onyx may assign these Terms and its rights or delegate its obligations under without your consent. All provisions contained in these Terms shall extend to and be binding upon you and Onyx's successors and assigns. You may not assign these Terms to another person or entity.
Onyx hereby grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, limited license to install and use Onyx's mobile applications on any iOS device that you own or control, solely as permitted by the terms of the applicable third-party platform from where you received such license, e.g., the Apple iTunes, Google Play, or other App stores ("App Store"). You acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Services is dependent on the availability and terms of the App Store. You acknowledge that these Terms are between you and Onyx and not with the App Store. Onyx, not the App Store, is solely responsible for its Services, the content thereof, maintenance, support services, and warranty therefor, and addressing any claims relating 8 thereto (e.g., product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property infringement). In order to use the Services, you may be required to have access to a wireless network, and you agree to pay all fees associated with such access. You also agree to pay all fees (if any) charged by the App Store in connection with the Services. You agree to comply with, and your license to use the Services is conditioned upon your compliance with, all applicable third-party terms of agreement (e.g., the App Store's terms and policies) when using the Services. You acknowledge that the App Store (and its subsidiaries) are third-party beneficiaries of the Terms and will have the right to enforce them.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding these Terms or our Services, please contact us at info@onyxprivate.com or: Onyx Card, LLC, Attn: COO, 25 SW 9th St., Suite 401, Miami, FL 33130-3510.
