22. Force Majeure
Other than for payment obligations arising hereunder, both parties agree that neither party will be liable, or be considered to be in breach of the Agreement, on account of either party's delay or failure to perform as required under the terms of the Agreement as a result of any causes or conditions that are beyond either party's reasonable control and such party is unable to overcome through the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence (a "Force Majeure Event"). If any such Force Majeure Event occurs including, without limitation, acts of God, fires, explosions, telecommunications, Internet or network failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, storm or other natural occurrences, national emergencies, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes or other labor difficulties, or any act or omission of any other person or entity, the affected party will give the other party notice and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of any such event.

You acknowledge and agree that by clicking on the "submit" button, or such similar links as may be designated by Webmation as a means of accepting the Agreement, you are submitting a legally binding electronic signature and are entering into a legally binding contract.

24. Dispute Resolution Provisions
The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in the State of Virginia and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Virginia (without regard to conflict of law principles). Should a dispute arise concerning the terms and conditions of the Agreement, or the breach of same by any party hereto, the parties agree to submit their dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Mclean, Virginia, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive relief in order to protect its rights pending arbitration. To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against Webmation and its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and assigns. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney's fees and court costs that Webmation incurs in seeking such relief. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits is an independent agreement and does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights and remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above.

25.6 Any attempt by any individual, whether or not Operator, to damage, destroy, tamper with, vandalize and/or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Webmation Platform is a violation of both criminal and civil law and Webmation will diligently pursue any and all remedies in this regard against any offending individual or entity to the fullest extent permissible by law and in equity.
25.7 Operator is not permitted to transfer any rights and obligations pursuant to the Agreement without the express written consent of Webmation.
