a)Game Platforms. You are accessing our Games through certain software providers, which include platforms like Steam, PlayStation VR, MetaQuest (Oculus), and Pico (“Game Platforms”), which also often act as a download agent.

  11.Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration; Governing Law

YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

YOU HEREBY EXPRESSLY GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS IN ANY LAWSUIT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS INVOLVING ANY SUCH DISPUTE.

(i)Binding Arbitration.  All disputes arising out of or in connection with this contract, or in respect of any defined legal relationship associated therewith or derived therefrom, shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in the English language held in Tel Aviv, Israel, under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce. The sole arbitrator shall be selected in accordance with the rules of the ICC. The arbitration panel shall award the prevailing Party its attorneys’ fees and costs, arbitration administrative fees, panel member fees and costs, and any other costs associated with the arbitration, the enforcement of any arbitration award and the costs and attorney’s fees involved in obtaining specific performance of an award; provided, however, that if the claims or defenses are granted in part and rejected in part, the arbitrator shall proportionately allocate between the Parties those arbitration expenses in accordance with the outcomes; provided, further, that the attorney’s fees and costs of enforcing a specific performance arbitral award shall always be paid by the non-enforcing Party, unless the applicable action was determined to be without merit by final, non-appealable decision. The arbitration panel may only award damages as provided for under the terms of this Agreement and in no event shall punitive, consequential and special damages be awarded. In the event of any conflict between the Rules and any provision of this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern.
