2.5 Binding Arbitration
You and Toolbox agree to resolve all Disputes arising under or in connection with these Terms of Service as provided in this section. Make sure that you have read and understand the below. Any arbitration or other legal proceeding under these Terms of Service will only be on an individual basis. Neither party may join with other parties to form a Consolidated Action. Each party waives its rights to file a lawsuit in court, to have its case decided by a jury, and to participate in a Consolidated Action against the other party.

Company and Toolbox agree to first attempt to resolve Disputes in good faith and in a timely manner. Where no resolution can be found, Disputes will be resolved by arbitration in New York, NY before a single arbitrator, as provided in this section, except that Disputes principally arising from protection of intellectual property rights or breach of confidential information will be resolved through litigation in accordance with Section 2.4.

Each party will continue to perform its obligations under these Terms of Service unless that obligation or the amount (to the extent in Dispute) is itself the subject of the Dispute. Nothing in these Terms of Service affects the right of a party to seek urgent injunctive or declaratory relief from a court of appropriate jurisdiction in respect of a Dispute or any matter arising under these Terms of Service.
The prevailing party is entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, and out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with such proceeding, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded.
Proceedings and information related to them will be maintained as confidential, including the nature and details of the Dispute, evidence produced, testimony given, and the outcome of the Dispute, unless such information was already in the public domain or was independently obtained. Company and Toolbox, and all witnesses, advisors, and arbitrators will only share such information as necessary to prepare for or conduct arbitration or other legal proceeding, or enforcement of the outcome, unless additional disclosure is required by law.

We may decline to close your Toolbox Account if you have a negative balance in respect of any Service, if any funds that we are holding on your behalf are subject to a hold, lien or other restriction, or if we believe that the Toolbox Account is being closed to evade any legal or regulatory requirement or investigation.
Toolbox may terminate these Terms of Service and terminate access to your Toolbox Account or the Services at any time and for any reason by providing you Notice. If we believe you violated these Terms of Service or the applicable Program Terms, or if required by one of our Program Partners or by law, we may terminate access to your Toolbox Account without prior Notice.
You are responsible for all Charges, Fees, Fines, and other losses caused by your action or inaction prior to termination, and for any costs we may incur in the process of closing your Toolbox Account upon termination by you or us.
In the event that these Terms of Service are terminated, except as expressly provided herein, the applicable Program Terms will immediately terminate (other than sections that survive termination).
If you reapply or reopen your Toolbox Account or use or attempt to use any of the Services, you are consenting to the Terms of Service in effect at that time. Termination of any Service includes removal of access to such Service and barring of further use of the Service.
Termination of all Services also includes deletion of your Credentials and all related information, files and Company Data associated with or inside your Toolbox Account (or any part thereof). Upon termination of any Service, your right to use such Service will automatically terminate immediately. You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of Company Data associated therewith from our live databases. Toolbox will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Company Data. All provisions of the Agreement which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnification, and limitation of liability.
