Assignment. You may not assign, convey, subcontract, or delegate your rights, duties, or obligations under these Terms.

Injunction, Equitable Relief, and Specific Performance Available. The parties agree that breach of the provisions of these Terms would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to UpStream Digital which would be both difficult to ascertain and which would not be compensable by damages alone.  As such, the parties agree that UpStream Digital has the right to enforce the provisions of these Terms by injunction (without necessity of posting bond), specific performance or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies UpStream Digital may have for your breach of these Terms.

Governing Law. The validity and effect of these Terms shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of South Africa, without regard to its conflicts or choice of laws principles.

Binding Arbitration. ANY AND ALL DISPUTES, CLAIMS, OR CONTROVERSIES BETWEEN THE PARTIES (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE INVOLVING ANY AFFILIATE OR AGENT OF THE PARTIES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE SITE, OUR PRODUCTS, OR OUR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE PURCHASE, SALE, OR USE OF SAME, (COLLECTIVELY, “DISPUTES”), SHALL BE SETTLED BY CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AA”) IN SOUTHERN AFRICA. LOCALE FOR ANY ARBITRATION SHALL BE IN GAUTENG, SOUTH AFRICA. THE PARTIES INTEND THAT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS BROADLY AS POSSIBLE. All Disputes shall be submitted to a single arbitrator. To the extent the Parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, AA shall appoint one. Any final arbitration award shall be non-reasoned. If the amount in controversy is R50,000,000 or less, the Dispute shall be resolved exclusively as follows: (a) the Parties will not conduct discovery; (b) 14 days from the arbitrator’s appointment, the Parties will simultaneously exchange opening briefs, limited to 14,000 words, setting forth their position and specifying the relief sought and, 14 days after service of opening briefs, will submit answering briefs, limited to 7,000 words, responding to the other Party’s brief; (c) the arbitrator may, at its discretion, request supplemental briefing on any issue, but may not hold an evidentiary hearing; and (d) the arbitrator will issue a final arbitration award within 30 days of receiving answering or supplemental briefs, if requested. If the amount in controversy is greater than R50,000,000, then the arbitration shall be administered by AA pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Emergency Relief, including Temporary Restraining Orders and Injunctive Relief, shall be deemed requests for Emergency Relief under the AA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules, and shall only be resolved by arbitration. For all Disputes, the tribunal, or any arbitrator appointed on an expedited basis, shall have exclusive jurisdiction and authority to determine all threshold and gateway issues of arbitrability and jurisdiction. The tribunal shall strictly enforce the parol evidence rule, and shall not have discretion to consider extrinsic evidence concerning the construction or enforcement of unambiguous contractual provisions. Each Party shall pay its own expenses in such arbitration, including attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise set forth herein. If requested, the tribunal shall award pre-judgment interest at the then-prevailing South African statutory rate. An arbitration award may be confirmed in any jurisdiction in which a Party is subject to personal jurisdiction or otherwise possesses assets. THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND ARGUMENTS THAT THE LAWS OR PUBLIC POLICIES OF ANY COUNTRY OTHER THAN SOUTH AFRICA SHALL APPLY TO ANY ASPECT OF ANY DISPUTE. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event any Party would like to commence a lawsuit in a court for any claim whatsoever, it must notify the other Parties of its intention to do so and give the adverse Party or Parties five (5) business days to determine and respond as to whether the contemplated lawsuit is within the scope of this arbitration provision. If the Parties cannot resolve the issue of arbitrability within ten (10) business days of when notice is first given to the receiving Party, then the Parties hereby agree to resolve the issue of arbitrability and any related jurisdiction question by submitting to binding arbitration in South Africa. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Dispute would inevitably involve highly confidential issues of a commercially sensitive nature that, if released, would cause the Parties irreparable harm. Accordingly, to the extent any Party commences any action or proceeding in court, such Party is required to make filings under seal, unless and until ordered by a Court to make filings publicly. In the event any Party breaches this agreement to arbitrate by publicly disclosing information concerning any Disputes, that Party shall be required to pay the other Party for its actual attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing this agreement to arbitrate, without prejudice to the potential payment of judicial or arbitrable sanctions. The Parties recognize that each other’s agents and Affiliates are express third-party beneficiaries of this provision and such agents and Affiliates may enforce this provision to arbitrate to the fullest extent. In the event any provision of this agreement to arbitrate is deemed to be unenforceable or contrary to public policy, such provision shall be severable, and the remainder of this agreement to arbitrate shall remain in effect and enforceable to the greatest possible extent.

Attorneys’ Fees, Costs, and Expenses. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce these Terms, the prevailing party will be entitled to reasonable fees of attorneys, accountants and other professionals, and costs and expenses in addition to any other relief to which such prevailing party may be entitled.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with those incorporated herein or referred to herein constitute the entire agreement between us relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any prior understandings or agreements (whether oral or written) regarding the subject matter, and may not be amended or modified except in writing or by making such amendments or modifications available on this Site.

Severability. These Terms shall be deemed severable. In the event that any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any of the other remaining provisions.

Additional Terms. Additional terms and conditions may apply to purchases of goods and services through the Site, and you agree to abide by such other terms and conditions.

Headings. The headings used in these Terms are included for convenience only and will not limit or otherwise affect these terms.

Use of Site Outside South Africa. If you access the Site from outside of the South Africa, you are responsible for compliance with all applicable South African laws.
