(ii) The provisions of Section 19 will apply with respect to the governing Law of the arbitration.

(iii) If Your residence or principal place of business, as applicable, is outside of the United States, Canada, or any country in APAC, then the arbitration will be administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in accordance with ICC Rules of Arbitration. The arbitration rules specified in this subsection are referred to as the 鈥淩ules.鈥 For the purposes of this Agreement, 鈥淎PAC鈥 means the geographic region that includes the following countries: Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, China (including Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macau Special Administrative Region), Christmas Islands, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kiribati, Laos, Malaysia, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Mongolia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and Vietnam.

(iv) Selection of the arbitrator shall be in accordance with the Rules.

If Your residence or principal place of business is outside of the United States, Canada or any country in APAC, the place of arbitration will be London, United Kingdom. The arbitration shall be conducted in English.

(v) The arbitrator鈥檚 decision will follow the terms of this Agreement and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator鈥檚 award will provide a written statement of the disposition of each claim, the award given and the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will preclude You from bringing issues to the attention of applicable international, national and local agencies and, if applicable Law allows, they can seek relief against 草莓社区 for You. As part of the arbitration, both You and 草莓社区 will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the claim.

(vi) The arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party if such an award is allowed under applicable Law.

(b) Despite the above Section 20(a), 草莓社区, at its sole option (and regardless of whether 草莓社区 is claimant or respondent), may choose to submit any Dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, to the courts of the state of New York, which in that case will have exclusive jurisdiction to determine the dispute. This Section 20(b) is for the benefit of 草莓社区.

(c) If You have already commenced arbitration proceedings in relation to a Dispute before 草莓社区 has commenced court proceedings, it is agreed that, on the demand of 草莓社区, the arbitration proceedings are to be discontinued within fourteen (14) days after 草莓社区 has commenced court proceedings in respect of the Dispute. 草莓社区 must deliver the demand for discontinuance within thirty (30) days of receipt by 草莓社区 from You of the request for arbitration initiating that arbitration and must commence the court proceedings within thirty (30) days of the demand for discontinuance. It is agreed that, on commencement of the court proceedings by 草莓社区, any arbitral tribunal already appointed, or to be appointed, will have no jurisdiction in respect of the dispute. Each Party will bear its own costs in connection with the arbitration proceedings.
