Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise stated in these Terms and Conditions, if any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be invalid or exceed the scope of lawful authority, the parties nevertheless agree that the court or arbitrator shall endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision to the maximum extent available in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is available, and the other provisions of these Terms and Conditions remain in full force and effect.
Mandatory arbitration. Please read this carefully. It affects user’s rights. You and Aleen and
each of our legal representatives, heirs, estates, successors, and assigns agree to arbitration (except
for matters that may be taken to small claims court), as the exclusive form of dispute resolution except
as provided for below, for all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this agreement.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than
in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts.
Commencing arbitration. A party seeking arbitration must first send to the other, by certified
mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a “notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address
provided by user, to user via any other method available to user, including via email and text message.
The notice to Aleen should be addressed to [email protected], with a copy to Aleen Inc., 2164 Montreal
Rd, Unit 5 PMB 1007, Ottawa ON K1J 1G4 Canada. The notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the
claim or dispute, and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (the “demand”). If the claim is not
resolved within 30 days after the notice is received, then user or Aleen may commence an arbitration
proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court.
Arbitration proceeding. The arbitration will be in English. A single independent and impartial
arbitrator with his or her primary place of arbitration in Canada will be appointed pursuant to the
rules, as modified herein. The following rules will apply: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by
telephone, online, or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner to be chosen by the
party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration will not require any personal appearance by the
parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties, and (c) any judgment on
the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
No class actions. User may bring claims (including actions in equity) against the other only in
their individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or
representative proceeding. Further, the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings brought by user with
more than one person’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a
representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific provision is found to be unenforceable,
then this entire mandatory arbitration section will be null and void at Aleen’s option.
Decision of the arbitrator. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator will issue his or
her decision within 120 days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this
deadline by 30 days in the interests of justice. Arbitration proceedings will be closed to the public
and confidential and all related records will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court
confirmation of the award. The award will be in writing and will include a statement setting forth the
reasons for the claim’s disposition. The arbitrator will apply Canada law during the arbitration. To the
extent these terms and user’s use of the service evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce,
the arbitration act will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the
mandatory arbitration clause in these Terms and Conditions.
Equitable relief. The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution section do not apply to any
claim in which Aleen seeks equitable relief of any kind, which are cumulative and not exclusive of other
rights and remedies at law and in equity and which will not require the posting of bond or other
security, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary whatsoever, Aleen may seek equitable
relief and associated remedies at law in any jurisdiction and venue in which such relief is desired.
Claims. Notwithstanding any other rights a party may have under law or equity, any cause of
action a user may have arising out of or related to this agreement must commence within one (1) year
after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, the cause of action is permanently barred.
Improperly filed claims. All claims a user brings against Aleen must be resolved in accordance with this
section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this section will be considered improperly filed. Aleen
should not recover any incurred expenses.
Enforceability. If the arbitration provisions of this section or the entirety of this section
(excluding this paragraph) is found to be unenforceable, then, at Aleen’s sole option, the entirety of
this section will be null and void (excluding this paragraph) and, in which case, the exclusive
jurisdiction and venue of Canada will govern any action arising out of or related to this agreement
other than equitable action and associated remedies at law sought by Aleen. Any other provisions of this
agreement which are invalid in their entirety are severable.
The laws of Canada, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern these Terms and Conditions and your use
of the websites. Your use of the websites may also be subject to other local, state, national, or
international laws. To the extent that any action relating to any dispute hereunder is required to be

jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Canada and you hereby irrevocably submit to
personal jurisdiction, and waive any defense of inconvenient forum.

against the drafter. If any provision of this agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable by any
arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction or as a result of future legislative action or otherwise,
such holding or action shall be strictly construed and shall not affect the validity or effect of any
other provision of this agreement. All provisions of this agreement which by their nature should survive
termination of this agreement shall survive such termination including, but not limited to, intellectual
property ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability. Users shall not at
any time including after account or use/access cancellation disparage, impugn or deprecate the business,
functionality, testing, services, products, software or reputation of Aleen. The parties acknowledge and
agree that this agreement shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the
words used so as fairly to accomplish the purposes and intentions of all parties to this agreement.
Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” or “including” are used in this agreement, they shall be
deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The parties shall take all such actions and
execute all such documents that may be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this
agreement whether or not specifically provided for in this agreement. All provisions of this agreement
which by their express terms or reasonable implication must survive to be effectuated shall so be deemed
to survive.
