10. Arbitration Agreement - Jury Waiver, Class Action Waiver
This Section sets forth a binding arbitration agreement between you and MithiFlix. In this Arbitration Agreement, you agree:
-
To arbitrate all claims relating to the MithiFlix OTT Service
-
To waive your right to a trial by jury and
-
To waive any right to proceed on a class basis in arbitration or otherwise.
10.1 Arbitration Agreement
The exclusive means of resolving any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or your use of the MithiFlix OTT Service will be BINDING ARBITRATION administered by INDIAN COUNCIL OF ARBITRATION (ICA).
​
10.2 Overview
Arbitration provides a private dispute resolution process that is usually more streamlined and less formal than litigation. In an arbitration, your rights will be determined by a neutral third party called an arbitrator, and not a judge or jury. Both you and MithiFlix are entitled to fundamentally fair proceedings at every stage of the arbitration, including the hearing (if any). The arbitrator will decide all issues relating to the dispute, including the question of arbitrability, and can grant any relief that a court could grant. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
​
10.3 Location of Hearing
If you are a consumer, as defined by ICA in its “The Arbitration and Conciliation Act”, you may request that the arbitration hearing be conducted in the area in which you reside. Otherwise, the hearing (if any) will take place in the County or outside the country.
​
10.4 Class-Action Waiver
EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.
​
10.5 Exception for Small Claims Court Matters
Notwithstanding the above, each party has the right to bring an individual claim against the other in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction. If one party files an arbitration that could be litigated in such a small claims court, the responding party may request that the dispute proceed in small claims court. If the responding party requests to proceed in small claims court before the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitration will be administratively closed. If requested after the appointment of the arbitrator, the arbitrator will administratively close the arbitration so long as the proceedings are at an early stage and no hearing has occurred.
​
10.6 Jurisdiction and Venue
The Indian Council of Arbitration (“ICA”) shall govern this Arbitration Agreement. To the extent not preempted or inconsistent with the ICA, the choice of law provisions are incorporated and are applicable to this Arbitration Agreement. Any arbitration award may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction.
​
10.7 Binding Arbitration with Producers
To the extent that the Producer has agreed to resolve disputes with consumers through arbitration in its agreements with MithiFlix, you agree that any dispute with a Producer arising out of or relating to your purchase or viewing of a Producer’s Program or subscription channel shall be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION administered by ICA in accordance with this Section.
​
11. General Provisions
Choice of Law: Any disputes relating to this Agreement or your use of the MithiFlix OTT Service will be governed by the laws of India, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.
Choice of Venue for Litigation - Jury Trial Waiver: Any proceeding to enforce the Arbitration Agreement, including any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event that the Arbitration Agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation (except for small-claims court actions) will be commenced only in the state courts located in India. You hereby irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes and, to the extent permitted by law, both MithiFlix and you WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY in such an action.
​
No Waiver: The failure of MithiFlix to exercise or enforce any term of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such term.
Provisions Severable: If any term of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that term will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining terms will remain in full force and effect.
​
No Third Parties: No third parties would have any rights under this Agreement, except that Producers may enforce the terms herein against you, and indemnified parties may enforce indemnification rights.
​
Force Majeure: Neither MithiFlix nor any Producer would be liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God, natural disasters, wars, civil or military disturbances, sabotage, strikes, epidemics, riots, power failures, computer failure, loss or malfunction of utility, transportation, computer (hardware or software) or telephone communication service, accidents, labor disputes, acts of civil or military authority, governmental actions, or inability to obtain labor, material, equipment or transportation.
​
Entire Agreement:
This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between you and MithiFlix concerning your use of the MithiFlix OTT Service and supersedes all prior agreements regarding the same. This Agreement may only be modified by us. Any changes will be posted to the MithiFlix website and will apply prospectively.
