disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or
arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or

arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence

notice to COOKAPPS Inc., ATTENTION: LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
d)
Binding Arbitration. If you and COOKAPPS are unable to resolve a
Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or COOKAPPS may

below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any
election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the
other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE

arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and
determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration
fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by
the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer
Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be
excessive, COOKAPPS will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The
arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of
documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in
writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested
by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award
may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and COOKAPPS 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.
e) Restrictions. You and COOKAPPS agree
that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between COOKAPPS
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.
f)
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and COOKAPPS
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 COOKAPPS’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.
13) Waiver/Severability
a)
The failure of COOKAPPS to require or enforce strict performance by
you of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right under
them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of
COOKAPPS's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right
in that or any other instance.
b) You and COOKAPPS agree that
if any portion of these Terms, except any portion of section 12(e),
is 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. If Section 12(e) is found to
be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor COOKAPPS will elect
to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 12(e)
found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be
decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Republic of Korea
Seoul Central District Court, and you and COOKAPPS agree to submit to
the personal jurisdiction of that court.

time without any notice to you. You may not assign these Terms

be illegal or unenforceable, the Terms will be deemed curtailed to
the extent necessary to make it legal and enforceable and will

any legal import. Upon COOKAPPS's request, you will furnish COOKAPPS
any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify
your compliance with these Terms. You agree that these Terms will not
