All claims and disputes in connection with these Terms and Conditions or the use of any product or service provided by us that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and us, the Company, and to any subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under these Terms.

通知要求和非正式争议解决

在任何一方寻求仲裁之前，必须首先向另一方发送书面争议通知，描述索赔或争议的性质和依据，以及请求的救济。通知应发送给我们，

在任何一方寻求仲裁之前，必须首先向另一方发送书面争议通知，描述索赔或争议的性质和依据，以及请求的救济。通知应发送给我们， support@oec.world，任何用户争议将发送到与该账户关联的电子邮件地址。收到通知后，我们可能会尝试非正式解决索赔或争议。如果在收到通知后 30 天内未能解决索赔或争议，任何一方均可开始仲裁程序。任何一方提出的和解提议的金额在仲裁员确定任何一方有权获得的裁决金额之前不得向仲裁员披露。

仲裁规则

Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association, an established alternative dispute resolution provider that offers arbitration as set forth in this section. If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider. The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms. The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules governing the arbitration are available online at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator. Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief. For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of your residence, unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise. If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that the Company made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, the Company will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00. Each party shall bear its own costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

非出庭仲裁的附加规则

如果选择非出庭仲裁，仲裁应通过电话、在线和/或仅基于书面提交进行；具体方式应由发起仲裁的一方选择。除非双方另有协议，仲裁不应涉及任何当事人或证人的个人出庭。

时间限制

如果您或我们追求仲裁，则必须在诉讼时效内并在 AAA 规则下对相关索赔施加的任何截止日期内启动和/或要求仲裁行动。

Authority of Arbitrator

If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities of each party, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and the Company.

放弃陪审团审判

各方在此放弃其宪法和法定权利，选择不去法院并在法官或陪审团面前进行审判，而是选择根据本仲裁协议解决所有索赔和争议。仲裁程序通常比适用于法院的规则更有限、更高效且成本更低，并且受到法院的审查非常有限。如果您与公司之间在任何州或联邦法院之间发生诉讼以撤销或执行仲裁裁决或以其他方式，双方均放弃所有陪审团审判的权利，而是选择由法官解决争议。

放弃集体或合并诉讼

本仲裁协议范围内的所有索赔和争议必须单独仲裁或诉讼，而不得以集体方式进行，且超过一个客户或用户的索赔不得与任何其他客户或用户的索赔共同仲裁或诉讼。

保密性

仲裁程序的所有方面应严格保密。各方同意保持保密，除非法律另有要求。本段落不应阻止一方向法院提交任何必要的信息，以执行本协议、执行仲裁裁决或寻求禁令或公平救济。

可分割性

如果本仲裁协议的任何部分被有管辖权的法院认定为无效或不可执行，则该特定部分应无效并应被分离，其余协议应继续有效。

放弃权利

本仲裁协议中规定的任何或所有权利和限制可由提出索赔的一方放弃。此类放弃不应放弃或影响本仲裁协议的任何其他部分。

协议的存续

本仲裁协议将在您与公司的关系终止后继续有效。

小额索赔法庭

Nonetheless the foregoing, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.

Emergency Equitable Relief

Anyhow the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

Claims Not Subject to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

In any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Middlesex County, Massachusetts, for such purposes.

By executing an Account in connection with purchasing any of the Services ("subscription", "OEC Plan", "OEC subscription", "OEC Pro" or "OEC Premium"), you accept this Agreement as of the effective date indicated on such Account page (the "Effective Date"). If you do not agree with any of the terms contained in this Agreement, you must not use the Services.

If you do not have such authority or do not agree with this Agreement you must not use the Services.

2. License

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Datawheel LLC hereby grants Customer a non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to access and use OEC, limited to the terms specified for each subscription.

OEC is offered on a tiered basis. In consideration of the payment of all fees, if applicable:

If your OEC Plan includes full API access, we grant you a non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to use our application programming interfaces ("APIs") to facilitate access to the Datasets, whether through a separate web site or through another type of software application. A download limit of 1 million rows per query is applicable for technical reasons. There is no limit on the number of queries.

If your OEC Plan includes the Data Explorer, we grant you a non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to use our Data Explorer for constructing API queries and viewing data in your browser. A download limit of 1 million rows per query is applicable for technical reasons. There is no limit on the number of queries.

If your OEC Plan includes Bulk Download, we grant you a non-exclusive, revocable, worldwide, non-transferable, non-sublicensable right and license to use our Site to download full database tables of the data available in the OEC.

Your use of the APIs, Data Explorer, Trend Explorer, Bulk Download or any other means to access the Site to develop applications other than for internal use, is limited to developing Solutions that do not imply the redistribution or reselling of the content accessed in the OEC, or in any manner imply a use beyond the scope of the licenses granted in this Agreement, irrespective of whether the Site is accessed via free or paid access, or whether it is for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

Internal use is defined as: only for use by staff members of the institutional unit for the benefit of the unit; internal use explicitly excludes data dissemination to any entity outside of the institutional unit. The definition of institutional unit is derived from the description contained in the System of National Accounts publication (SNA, 2008), namely: "An institutional unit is an economic entity that is capable, in its own right, of owning assets, incurring liabilities and engaging in economic activities and in transactions with other entities."

Any special rules for the use of certain Content accessible through subscription services on the Site may be included elsewhere within the Site and are incorporated into these Terms and Conditions by reference.

By providing such details you agree that we will automatically charge the full price of the Paid Subscription on the first day following the end of the Introductory Offer on a recurring monthly basis or another interval that we disclose to you in advance.
