otherwise the subject of a dispute. As more completely set forth in Sections 5,
6, and 9, you waive any and all clams you may have, now and forever, against
Netz relating to the registration, use, and subsequent transfers of your domain

shall preclude Netz from: (i) seeking and obtaining any injunctive relief or
attachment and expedited discovery or other equitable relief to enforce the
terms of this Agreement or to remedy a breach thereof, or (ii) bringing an
action to enforce this Agreement or the provisions hereof in the event JAMS
will not or cannot arbitrate a particular dispute. Any action under this
section 21.3 may be brought in either the United States District Court for the District
of New Jersey, Camden Division or the Superior Court of New Jersey sitting in
Camden, New Jersey, and each party consents to the in personam jurisdiction of
such Courts for the purpose of any such action or proceeding. Each party hereby
waives all rights it has or which may hereafter arise to contest such exclusive
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the District of New
Jersey, Camden Division or the Superior Court of New Jersey sitting in Camden,
New Jersey. 21.4 In addition to the foregoing,
YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT AS A PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THIS AGREEMENT, YOU
WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND NETZ

such waiver shall be enforceable up to and including the day that trial is to
start, and even if the arbitration provisions of this paragraph are waived. 21.5 Neither you nor Netz may
be a representative of other potential claimants or a class of potential
claimants in any dispute concerning or relating to this Agreement, nor may two
or more individuals' disputes be consolidated or otherwise determined in one

America, and, where applicable, the federal law of the United States of
America, without regard to conflicts of law principles. 22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This

matter hereof, and supersedes and cancels all other prior agreements,
discussion, or representations, whether written or oral. No officer, employee
or representative of Netz or you has any authority to make any representation

Agreement, in whole or in part, and any such modification or attempt to modify

additional or conflicting term in any other document used by you will have any
legal effect. 24. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. You
