Latest stance: arbitration or waiver

**14.3 Binding Arbitration.** For any Disputes that are not resolved informally or by the small claims court, you and NVIDIA each agree to resolve any such Dispute by binding arbitration administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) under the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, as modified by these Terms (rules available at https://www.jamsadr.com/). To the extent that 20 or more demands for arbitration are filed against NVIDIA by individual claimants represented by either the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination, those claims will be administered under the JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines and resolved in batches of 100 claimants each (or in a single batch if less than 100 claimants) as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing (if any). Except as otherwise provided in this section, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including jurisdictional and arbitrability issues and the formation, existence, validity, interpretation, and scope of this arbitration provision, but a court has exclusive authority to decide the enforceability, validity, interpretation, and scope of the Class Action, Representative Action & Jury Trial Waiver subsection below. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California (or the nearest JAMS office to Santa Clara County), unless you request an in-person hearing in your hometown, or you and NVIDIA agree otherwise.

dispute terms

Latest stance: arbitration or waiver

You and NVIDIA agree that the parties will arbitrate all Disputes, remedies, and requests for relief subject to individual arbitration first, the arbitrator will only determine issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted, and the arbitrator may only award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. You and NVIDIA agree that any remaining unresolved Disputes, remedies, or requests for relief may be pursued in court only after the arbitrator’s award has been issued. In any later court proceeding, the arbitrator’s factual findings will not be entitled to deference by the court. Nothing in these terms will prevent a party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts in any jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened violation of that party’s data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights. If for any reason this Section 14.3 is unenforceable concerning any Dispute, and a Dispute proceeds in a court of general jurisdiction, the Dispute will be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California.

YOU AND NVIDIA AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATIONS, ANY COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR OTHER PROCEEDING OR REQUEST FOR RELIEF WHERE SOMEONE ACTS IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.

**14.7 Severability.** If any portion of this arbitration provision is found to be void, invalid, unenforceable, or unlawful for any reason, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of this arbitration provision.

All matters relating to the Site or these Terms and any Disputes (as defined below) will be governed in all respects by the laws of the United States and the laws of the State of Delaware, without respect to conflict of laws principles or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with respect to the substantive law governing these Terms, the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) (as it may be amended, "FAA") governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Binding Arbitration provision below and preempts all state laws (and laws of other jurisdictions) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. If the FAA is found to not apply to any issue that arises from or relates to the Binding Arbitration provision, then that issue will be resolved under and governed by the law of the U.S. state where you live (if applicable) or the jurisdiction mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California, for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights, as set forth in the Binding Arbitration provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm.
