Termination/Access Restriction

Tyler reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your access to the Services and the related services or any portion thereof at any time, without notice.

Disputes

Please contact Tyler in writing at 5101 Tennyson Pkwy, Plano, Texas 75024, Attn: Legal Department, regarding any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any breach thereof, and Tyler will attempt in good faith to resolve the claim, or we can agree to engage in mediation. Each party agrees to pay for its own expenses in engaging in mediation. Any claim, dispute, or controversy that cannot be resolved through mediation within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice will be settled by arbitration as set forth below.

  1. Arbitration. Except for claims or controversies for which Tyler may pursue injunctive relief, any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services, this Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement, will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single arbitrator. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by AAA’s applicable rules. The arbitrator’s decision shall be controlled by this Agreement and any other agreements referenced herein. If the claim or controversy is for $10,000 or less, Tyler agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator through a telephonic hearing or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If the claim or controversy exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a statement of the reasons upon which the award is based. You understand that, in the absence of this provision, you would have had a right to litigate disputes through a court, including the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action basis, and that you have expressly and knowingly waived those rights and agreed to resolve any disputes through binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph.
  2. Limitation on Time to File. YOU AGREE THAT IF YOU DO NOT FILE A DEMAND TO ARBITRATE A DISPUTE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
  3. Arbitration on an Individual Basis Only; Class Arbitration Waiver. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ACCEPTING THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND TYLER ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING A CLASS ACTION. TYLER AND YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT PERMIT CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THIS AGREEMENT EVIDENCES A TRANSACTION IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE, AND THUS THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (“FAA”) GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS PROVISION. IF FOR ANY REASON, A CLAIM PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN ARBITRATION, TYLER AND YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST EACH OTHER.
  4. Applicable Law and Venue. The Service is accessible over the Internet and therefore available worldwide, Access to and use of the Services is at your own risk and subject to the laws of the United States of America in addition to the applicable laws in your state, province or country. You are responsible for compliance with any local laws and regulations. Nothing in the Services should be interpreted as a promotion or solicitation for any product of any nature that is not authorized by the laws and regulations of the country where you are located. You agree that the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law, govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that may arise between you and us or any of our subsidiaries. Any arbitration related to this Agreement shall occur in Collin County, Texas. Tyler and you acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph with respect to applicable substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by the FAA, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16.
  5. Conflict. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the code of procedure established by the AAA, the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal, or conflicting provision were not contained herein.
  6. Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tyler retains the right to seek injunctive relief if you use the Services in violation of the access rights or the restrictions on use, infringe upon or misappropriate Tyler’s intellectual property rights, or breach your obligation to maintain the confidentiality of Tyler’s confidential or proprietary information made available to you through the Services.
