DISPUTES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND
CLASS WAIVER DISCLOSURE

32. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE; CLASS WAIVER: You and LD Micro agree, except as provided below regarding small claims court proceedings, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Company's Products and Services, including, without limitation, our website, our content, Products, Services and user interfaces, our Privacy Policyor our privacy practices generally, these LD Micro Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE U.S. FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION, AND THAT YOU AND LD MICRO ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

33. PRE-FILING MEDIATION. In the event of a dispute, prior to initiating arbitration, the party asserting the claim must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim ("Notice"). If you are the claimant, the Notice to LD Micro must be addressed to: 11040 Bollinger Canyon Rd., Ste E-405, San Ramon, CA 94582.

The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. Following receipt of the Notice, each party agrees to negotiate with the other in good faith about the claim. If the claim is not resolved to the satisfaction of the claimant within sixty (60) days after Notice is provided, the claimant may pursue the claim in arbitration or file a claim in small claims court.

34. ADDITIONAL ARBITRATION PROVISIONS:

Settlement Offers: During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or LD Micro shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.

Initiating A Claim: The form required to initiate an arbitration can be printed or downloaded from www.adr.org. Alternatively, you may contact the arbitration administrator by calling 1-800-778-7879 or writing to the American Arbitration Association, 725 S. Figueroa St., Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90017.

Fees for Initiating Arbitration: If you are required to pay a filing fee to initiate arbitration, after LD Micro receives notice of the initiation of arbitration, it will promptly reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee at the address provided in the Notice, unless your claim is for greater than US$10,000.

Applicable Rules; Administrator: The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the American Arbitration Association, 725 S. Figueroa St., Suite 400, Los Angeles, CA 90017. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.

Location of Hearing: Unless LD Micro and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of your address. (If you reside outside of the United States, any arbitration hearings will take place in your country of residence at a location reasonably convenient to you, but will remain subject to the AAA Rules including the AAA rules regarding the selection of an arbitrator). If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Award Enhancement: If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of LD Micro's last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if LD Micro did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then LD Micro will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.

Class Waiver: YOU AND LD MICRO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and LD Micro agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one party, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable as applied to any claim asserted by you, then the entirety of the arbitration provision set forth herein shall be null and void.

Injunctive Relief Limitation: The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

Small Claims Procedure Alternative: Notwithstanding the foregoing binding arbitration procedure, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court (provided the claim otherwise qualifies for such a program) as an alternative to proceeding with arbitration.

GOVERNING LAW

35. Use of this Site, any uses of our Products and Services, and any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Site or the content contained on the Site shall be governed by the laws of your home state of residence without respect to its choice (or conflict) of laws rules.

AGREEMENT TO PRE-ARBITRATION NOTIFICATION

36. These Terms provide for final, binding arbitration of all disputed claims (discussed elsewhere herein). The Company and you agree, however, it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any disputes before arbitration or any other proceedings authorized herein are initiated. In the event of a dispute, the claimant (whether you or the Company) shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief. If the Company is the claimant, the letter shall be sent to 11040 Bollinger Canyon Rd., Ste E-405, San Ramon, CA 94582. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60 ) days after the letter is sent, the claimant may proceed to initiate arbitration proceedings or any other proceedings authorized herein.

OPT-OUT PROVISION

37. You may elect to opt out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding arbitration procedure and the class action waiver specified in these Terms by doing the following. Within 15 days of making your first accessing the Site, you must send a letter to LD Micro, Inc. at 11040 Bollinger Canyon Rd., Ste E-405, San Ramon, CA 94582 that specifies (1) your name, (2) your IP address(es), (3) your mailing address, and (4) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver specified in these Terms. All other Terms shall continue to apply to you and your account, including the requirement to participate in pre-dispute mediation. You are not required to send the letter by confirmed mail or return receipt requested, but it is recommended that you do so. Your request to be excluded will only be effective and enforceable if you can prove the request was postmarked within the applicable 15-day deadline.

TERMINATION

38. If you fail, or LD Micro suspects that you have failed, to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms, LD Micro, at its sole discretion, without notice to you may: (i) terminate the license to the software; and/or (ii) preclude access to its Site and any and all Products and Services (or any part thereof).

LD Micro reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site and/or its Products and Services (or any part or content thereof) at any time with or without notice to you, and will not be liable to you or to any third party should it exercise such rights.
