Article 9. Dispute Resolution

9.1 For US Residents

- If you are a resident of the United States of America, please read this section carefully.

• (i) Binding Arbitration

  - If you and FreshResume are unable to resolve a dispute through negotiation, either party can request that the dispute be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration. Any party’s decision to arbitrate is definitive and binding on the other (s). Arbitration is a type of alternative conflict settlement that is often quicker and more conclusive than going to court. We each waive our right to sue in court or have a jury trial by agreeing to arbitration.
  
  - The arbitration will be initiated and performed in accordance with the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules, as amended by this Agreement. These rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Unless you bring the claim for a frivolous or unethical reason (such as to threaten or inconvenience us), in which case the arbitrator has the discretion to order you to pay half of these fees for the duration of the arbitration, we will pay the AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees so you don’t have to.
  
  - The terms of this Agreement bind the arbitrator. All issues in the conflict must be resolved by the arbitrator, with the exception of issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration clause, which must be resolved by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. The arbitration can take place in person in San Francisco, California, via document submission, phone, or online. California law will be applied by the arbitrator. If a party requests it, the arbitrator may give a written judgment with only a statement of reasons.
  
  - If the arbitrator fails to obey applicable law, any award will be contested. FreshResume can file a lawsuit in court to force arbitration, stay proceedings awaiting arbitration, or alter, affirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the arbitrator’s award. Within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s decision on the merits, the arbitrator shall grant costs to the winning party (including, without limitation, fees, expenses, and fair attorneys’ fees) at any time during the trial and upon request from any party.
  
  - The language in this Agreement will be viewed in light of its equal sense, rather than solely for or against either side.

• (ii) Class-Action Waiver

  - You and FreshResume accept that any arbitration or other legal proceedings involving the two of us would be limited to the two of us as parties, with no other parties permitted to join us. You understand and accept that you are not permitted to initiate arbitration proceedings on behalf of others under this Agreement. This means you won’t be able to take part in any kind of representative action against FreshResume, such as as a plaintiff or class member in a sham class action.

• (iii) Location and Governing Laws

  - This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in compliance with California law, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. The appropriate venue for any judicial proceedings arising out of, relating to, or in accordance with this Agreement would be the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California (a “Court of Competent Jurisdiction”), subject to and without waiving the arbitration agreement. You and FreshResume agree to apply to extraterritorial service of process and waive all objections to the personal jurisdiction and location of such courts.

9.2 Non-US Residents

- Regardless of any lawful clause to the contrary, this Agreement will be regulated, interpreted, and enforced in compliance with the law of the Kingdom of Thailand, with you renouncing your own jurisdiction and submitting yourself to the jurisdiction and venue of Bangkok, Thailand. You may be entitled to bring a dispute before the competent authorities or courts in your country of residence in some cases, depending on your country of residence.
