13.2. United States. IF CUSTOMER IS A U.S. RESIDENT, PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. THIS SECTION REQUIRES YOU TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. If you believe you have a dispute or claim against us arising out of your use of the Services or under these Terms, you agree to first discuss the matter informally with us for at least 30 days. To do that, you must give us written notice, which will include your full name and contact information, the nature and basis giving rise to your dispute or claim and your proposed resolution, sent to 1900 Reston Metro Plaza, Suite 600, Reston Virginia 20190. If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a United States jurisdiction in which this section is enforceable, you understand and agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising under or in connection with these Terms, including your use and access to the Services or any other content, including, but not limited to, claims as to whether any services rendered by Hamina Wireless or persons employed or engaged by Hamina Wireless were unnecessary or unauthorized or were improperly, negligently, or incompetently rendered, shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s (“AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures and Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedures, and not by a lawsuit or resort to court process.

The Parties further agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this agreement to arbitrate.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than arbitration, each Party waives any right to a jury trial. You agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in the state courts of Fairfax County in the State of Virginia and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue.

13.3 CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT BOTH PARTIES TO THE TERMS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Before any personal data is transferred by Hamina Wireless from the EEA for processing in any country outside the EEA that is not recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data, Hamina Wireless shall comply with Chapter V of the GDPR and use transfer tools which ensure appropriate safeguards for protection of the personal data, including (but not necessarily limited to) entering into the standard contractual clauses for processor-to-processor transfers adopted by the European Commission (by the implementing decision (EU) 2021/914 and as amended) and carrying out a transfer impact assessment.

If Hamina Wireless’s employees or other representatives participate in such audits at the request of the Customer, the Customer shall compensate Hamina Wireless for the expenses caused by such participation. Otherwise, each Party shall bear its own costs for any such audit.
