18. Binding Arbitration
18.1. Arbitration Procedures. Unless you live in the EU, you and Main Tank agree that, except as provided in Section 18.4 below, all disputes, controversies, and claims related to this Agreement (each a “Claim”), will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) with a single arbitrator and under the terms set forth in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Binding Arbitration Section and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Binding Arbitration Section will control and prevail.
Except as otherwise set forth in Section 18.4 below, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state, or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Main Tank will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) you and Main Tank may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision will be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND MAIN TANK WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
18.2. Location. The arbitration will be conducted in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, unless the parties agree to video, phone, or internet connection appearances.
18.3. Limitations. You and Main Tank agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Main Tank and you individually.
YOU AND MAIN TANK AGREE THAT (I) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (II) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (III) NO ARBITRATION MAY BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
18.4. Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Main Tank agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Main Tank’s intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
18.5. Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be apportioned pursuant to the JAMS Rules.
18.6. Severability. You and Main Tank agree that if any portion of this Section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 18.4), that portion will be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 18.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor Main Tank will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 18.4 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim will be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and you and Main Tank agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
19. Miscellaneous Terms
19.1. Agreement Revisions. This Agreement may only be revised in writing by Main Tank, or by Main Tank’s publication of a new version on the Service.
19.2. Force Majeure. Main Tank is not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of Main Tank, including without limitation any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or cause beyond Main Tank’s control such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
19.3. No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Main Tank as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Service.
19.4. Assignment. Main Tank may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign the Agreement without Main Tank’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment by you will be null and void.
19.5. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then that portion will be severed, and the remainder of the Agreement will be given full force and effect.
19.6. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any litigation is brought by either party in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation will be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.
19.7. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
19.8. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that Main Tank would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we will be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
19.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Main Tank with respect to the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Main Tank with respect to the Service.

18. Binding Arbitration
18.1. Arbitration Procedures. Unless you live in the EU, you and Main Tank agree that, except as provided in Section 18.4 below, all disputes, controversies, and claims related to this Agreement (each a “Claim”), will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) with a single arbitrator and under the terms set forth in this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Binding Arbitration Section and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Binding Arbitration Section will control and prevail.
Except as otherwise set forth in Section 18.4 below, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state, or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Main Tank will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) you and Main Tank may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision will be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND MAIN TANK WAIVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
18.2. Location. The arbitration will be conducted in the city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, unless the parties agree to video, phone, or internet connection appearances.
18.3. Limitations. You and Main Tank agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Main Tank and you individually.
YOU AND MAIN TANK AGREE THAT (I) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (II) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (III) NO ARBITRATION MAY BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
18.4. Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Main Tank agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claim seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Main Tank’s intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
18.5. Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be apportioned pursuant to the JAMS Rules.
18.6. Severability. You and Main Tank agree that if any portion of this Section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 18.4), that portion will be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 18.4 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor Main Tank will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 18.4 found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim will be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the city of Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and you and Main Tank agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
19. Miscellaneous Terms
19.1. Agreement Revisions. This Agreement may only be revised in writing by Main Tank, or by Main Tank’s publication of a new version on the Service.
19.2. Force Majeure. Main Tank is not liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside the reasonable control of Main Tank, including without limitation any failure to perform hereunder due to unforeseen circumstances or cause beyond Main Tank’s control such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials.
19.3. No Partnership. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Main Tank as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Service.
19.4. Assignment. Main Tank may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not assign the Agreement without Main Tank’s prior written consent, and any unauthorized assignment by you will be null and void.
19.5. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, then that portion will be severed, and the remainder of the Agreement will be given full force and effect.
19.6. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any litigation is brought by either party in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such litigation will be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation.
19.7. No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of any party to enforce every such provision thereafter. The express waiver by us of any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
19.8. Equitable Remedies. You hereby agree that Main Tank would be irreparably damaged if the terms of this Agreement were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we will be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of this Agreement, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
19.9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the documents expressly incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Main Tank with respect to the Service and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and Main Tank with respect to the Service.
