REMEDIES
You agree that our remedy at law for any
actual or threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and that we

with reasonable expenses of any form of dispute resolution, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees.
No right or remedy of ours shall be exclusive
of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages
injunctive relief, attorneys' fees and expenses.
No instance of waiver by us of our rights or
remedies under these terms and conditions shall imply any obligation to grant

APPLICABLE LAW
By using the Site, you agree that the Australian
Law without regard to principles of conflict of laws will govern these Terms
of Use and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us.
DISPUTES
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to
your use of the Site, or to any products or services sold or distributed by us
or through shop.gmexpression.com will be resolved by binding arbitration,
rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court
if your claims qualify. The Australian arbitration law applies to this agreement.
The arbitration award is Limited, an arbitrator
can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court
(including injunctive and declaratory relief or
statutory damages) and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as
a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must
send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to GMExpression.
We will afford half of the arbitration fees for claims unless the arbitrator
determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, we will not seek attorneys' fees
and costs in arbitration from you unless the arbitrator determines the claims
are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by written
submissions at a mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution
proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class,
consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in
court rather than in arbitration we each waive any right to disclose the
disputation to the media. We also both agree that you or we may bring
suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuses of intellectual
property rights.
SEVER-ABILITY
If any of these provisions shall be deemed
invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, that condition shall be deemed
several and shall not affect the validity and enforce-ability of any
remaining provision.
