Governing Law/Waiver of Injunctive Relief

1. Governing Law/Venue. The Terms and all aspects of the Service shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the United States and the State of Delaware governing contracts entered into and to be fully performed in Delaware (i.e., without regard to conflict of law`s provisions) regardless of your location except that the arbitration provision shall be governed by each respective member of the Republic Capital ecosystem’s arbitration policy. For the purpose of any judicial proceeding to enforce such award or incidental to such arbitration or to compel arbitration, or if for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts sitting in New York, NY and agree that service of process in such arbitration or court proceedings shall be satisfactorily made upon it if sent by certified, express or registered mail addressed to it at the address set forth in the books and records of Republic Capital, or if no such address has been provided, by email to the email address provided by the relevant parties to Republic Capital in connection with their use of the Service. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located in New York, NY and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in New York, NY.
2. Injunctive and Equitable Relief. You acknowledge that the rights granted to Republic Capital through the use of Site are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Republic Capital and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone. Nothing in these Terms shall prevent Republic Capital from seeking injunctive or equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) with respect to these Terms, in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).
3. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to these Terms ("Dispute"), you and Republic Capital agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send your notice to Republic Capital, Legal Department, 149 E 23rd St #1314, New York, NY 10010.
4. Binding Arbitration. If you and Republic Capital are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or Republic Capital may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. You thereby agree to arbitrate any controversy or claim before in the State of New York. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. FURTHER, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT INDIVIDUAL ENTITIES THAT USE THE SITE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PORTAL AND THE BROKER, MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL OR DIFFEREING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS, WHICH SHALL GOVERN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THOSE SPECIFIC ENTITIES.

   This provision contains a pre-dispute arbitration clause. By using the Site you are entering into an arbitration agreement, by which the parties agree as follows:

   1. All parties to the Terms are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which a claim is filed.
   2. Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party`s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is very limited.
   3. The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings
   4. The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award unless, in an eligible case, a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least twenty (20) days prior to the first scheduled hearing date.
   5. The panel of arbitrators may include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry.
   6. The rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration. In some cases, a claim that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court.
   7. The rules of the arbitration forum in which the claim is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into the Terms.
   8. No person shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person who has initiated in court a putative class action; or who is a member of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (i) the class certification is denied; or (ii) the class is decertified; or (iii) the investor is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under the Terms except to the extent stated herein.

   As you consent to the Terms by your use of the Site, you acknowledge that you can locate this pre-dispute arbitration clause using a search function on your webpage and that you have received a copy of this pre-dispute arbitration clause by or through your access of the Site. We can provide you proof of when you consented to the Terms, specifically this pre-dispute arbitration clause within ten (10) business days of receipt of your request, we will provide you with a copy of any pre-dispute arbitration clause or agreement executed between you and us. Upon your written request, we will provide you with the names of, and information on how to contact or obtain the rules of, all arbitration forums in which a claim may be filed under the Terms.

   Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, you and Republic Capital may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered and any enforcement obtained thereon in any court having jurisdiction. All arbitration proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The arbitrator(s) shall have authority to grant any form of appropriate relief, whether legal or equitable in nature, including specific performance. You and we agree to abide by all decisions and awards rendered in such proceedings. Such decisions and awards rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive. All such controversies, claims or disputes shall be settled in this manner in lieu of any action at law or equity.

5. Restrictions/No Class Actions. Except as prohibited by law or applicable rule, you and Republic Capital agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Republic Capital and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
6. Exclusive Process. You acknowledge that the arbitrator(s), and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of the Terms, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to interpret the scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, claim or dispute.
7. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Republic Capital agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Republic Capital`s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief. To the extent non-U.S. laws mandate a different approach with respect to governing law, venue, statute of limitation, and dispute resolution method with respect to certain non-U.S. persons, each such required standard shall be applied, but all other provisions under this ‎Section 4.06(g) shall remain in full force.
8. Waiver/Severability. The failure of Republic Capital to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of the Terms or to exercise any right thereunder shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Republic Capital`s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. In fact, Republic Capital may choose to enforce certain portions of the Terms more strictly or to interpret certain provisions more strictly against certain users than it does against users in general, and such disparate treatment shall not be grounds for failing to comply with the Terms as so interpreted. You and Republic Capital agree that if any portion of the Terms are found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
9. Statute of Limitations. You and Republic Capital both agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary but only to the extent permissible by law in each relevant jurisdiction, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services, these Terms or our Privacy Policy must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
10. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This agreement is between you and Republic Capital. No User has any rights to force Republic Capital to enforce any rights it may have against any you or any other user.
11. Government Use.
