2. COURTESY

Our interactive tools (forums, private messages, personal networks, member search, invitations, expat reports and other areas where information is exchanged) enable expatriates to interact with and help one another through various aspects of the international experience. Over time, we hope that community members feel comfortable enough to interact openly and honestly with other members. We believe that freedom of speech on the Internet is important, but also recognize that personal attacks, insulting behavior and the like hinder community development.

a. Post or transmit any material in violation of law, for example, without obtaining permission from a copyright holder; or

6. NEW YORK LAW APPLIES

People from all over the world use the BlueBurbia. We cannot and will not be able to familiarize ourselves with the multitude of laws in the countries, states, provinces, counties, parishes and cities around the globe. Therefore, it is necessary for us to have certainty with respect to what law will govern disputes related to our services and your use of them. To that end, any disputes related to use of the Services shall be governed by New York law and shall be settled by a New York arbitrator.

You must begin any legal proceeding within one year after your claim arises. ALL DISPUTES, CONTROVERSIES OR CLAIMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SERVICE ("DISPUTES") SHALL BE SETTLED BY FINAL AND BIDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE THEN CURRENT COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION. The arbitrability of Disputes shall also be determined by the arbitrator. Each party shall bear its own expenses, except that the prevailing party may recover the filing costs and the expenses of the arbitrator from the other party. Any award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall state the reasons for the award. Judgment upon an award may be entered in any Court having competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award any damages in excess of the applicable dollar limits set forth in or excluded under the "YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE" section of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall not have the power to order pre-hearing discovery of documents or the taking of depositions, but may compel attendance of witnesses and the production of documents at the hearing. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1 to 14, shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this paragraph. The parties, their representatives and participants and the arbitrator shall hold the existence, content and result of the arbitration in confidence, except to the limited extent necessary to enforce a final settlement agreement or to obtain or enforce a judgment on an arbitration decision and award. Disputes relating to your failure to pay billed charges for use of the Service (i.e. advertising on the site and in newsletters) are exempt from the binding arbitration requirement. The foregoing notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not prevent BlueBurbia or a member from seeking and obtaining temporary equitable remedies, including temporary restraining orders, from a court with jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter. A request to a court for interim equitable relief shall not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to arbitrate.

7. SEVERABILITY
