Although Symantec or its licensors continues to own the Software, after Your acceptance of this License Agreement, You will have certain rights to use the Software during the License Period (as defined below). All rights not expressly granted to You are retained by Symantec and/or its licensors. The “License Period” shall begin on (a) the date of Your initial installation or use of the Software on a computer, virtual environment, mobile or mobile computing device (a “Device”), or (b) the date you have accepted this License Agreement, or (c) if You purchased Your Software from the Norton online store, the date You complete your purchase, or (d) if You received the Software as part of a multiple product offering, the date Your purchase for such multiple product offering is completed, or (e) if You obtained the rights to use the Software as described in this License Agreement from a Symantec authorized provider (“Provider”), the date determined by such Provider. The License Period shall last for the period of time set out in the Documentation or the applicable transaction documentation from the authorized distributor, reseller, or Provider from which You obtained the Software. The Software may automatically deactivate and become non-operational at the end of the License Period, and You will not be entitled to receive any feature or content updates to the Software unless the License Period is renewed.

6. U.S. Government Restricted Rights:
For U.S. Government procurements, the software is deemed to be commercial computer software as defined in FAR 12.212 and subject to restricted rights as defined in FAR Section 52.227-19 "Commercial Computer Software - Restricted Rights" and DFARS 227.7202, “Rights in Commercial Computer Software or Commercial Computer Software Documentation”, as applicable, and any successor regulations. Any use, modification, reproduction release, performance, display or disclosure of the software by the U.S. Government shall be solely in accordance with the terms of this License Agreement.
7. Export Regulation:
You acknowledge that the Software and related technical data and services (collectively "Controlled Technology") may be subject to the import and export laws of the United States, specifically the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and the laws of any country where Controlled Technology is imported or re- exported. You agree to comply with all relevant laws and will not export any Controlled Technology in contravention to U.S. law nor to any prohibited country, entity, or person for which an export license or other governmental approval is required. All Symantec product is prohibited for export or re-export to Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria and Sudan and to any country subject to relevant trade sanctions, including Afghanistan and Iraq. USE OR FACILITATION OF SYMANTEC PRODUCT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTIVITY INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, FABRICATION, TRAINING, OR TESTING OF CHEMICAL, BIOLOGICAL, OR NUCLEAR MATERIALS, OR MISSILES, DRONES, OR SPACE LAUNCH VEHICLES CAPABLE OF DELIVERING WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IS PROHIBITED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH U.S. LAW.
8. Dispute Resolution:
Symantec believes that most disagreements can be resolved informally and efficiently by contacting Symantec customer support. If You are a U.S. customer, and the dispute is not resolved through Symantec customer support, You and Symantec agree that any such dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Software or this License Agreement (a “Claim”), shall be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction, as follows:
A. Small Claims Court: You may elect to litigate your Claim in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the dispute. You agree to bring a Claim in small claims court in your county of residence or in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.
B. Arbitration: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to this License Agreement, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision, and that You and Symantec are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this License Agreement and/or the termination of Your Symantec product license.
a. Notice of Claim: If You elect to seek arbitration, You must first send to Symantec, by certified mail, a written Notice of Your Claim ("Notice of Claim"). The Notice of Claim to Symantec should be addressed to: General Counsel, Symantec, Inc., 350 Ellis Street, Mountain View, CA 94043 and should be prominently captioned “NOTICE OF CLAIM”. The Notice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address You would like Symantec to use to contact You. If Symantec elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim to Your billing address on file. A Notice of Claim, whether sent by You or by Symantec, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought ("Demand"); and (c) whether You reject any subsequent modification of the Dispute Resolution section by Symantec (see Section 8 (B)(f)).
b. Arbitration Proceedings: If You and Symantec do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice of Claim is received, You or Symantec may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, alternatively, file a claim in small claims court). You may download or copy a form of notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as appropriate, of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by this License Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this License Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
Unless Symantec and You agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of either Your residence or of the mailing address You provided in Your Notice of Claim. If Your claim is for U.S.
$10,000 or less, Symantec agrees that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues You an award that is greater than the value of Symantec’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Symantec did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Symantec will pay You, in addition to the award, either U.S. $500 or 10% of the amount awarded, whichever is greater.
c. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief: Except as set forth in Section 8.A., the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by You or Symantec, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that You or Symantec prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
d. Arbitration Fees: If Your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, Symantec will pay all fees imposed by the AAA to conduct the arbitration, including reimbursement of Your initial filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in Your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If Your claim for damages exceeds $10,000, standard AAA Rules will govern the payment of all AAA fees, including filing, administration and arbitrator fees.
e. S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if You have elected arbitration, unless both You and Symantec agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with Your claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
e. Modification of Dispute Resolution Section: Notwithstanding Section 2(A), if Symantec changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date You first accepted this License Agreement, and You have not otherwise affirmatively agreed to such changes, You may reject any such change by so stating within Your Notice of Claim. By failing to reject any changes to this Dispute Resolution section in Your Notice of Claim, You agree to resolve any Claim between You and Symantec in accordance with the terms of the Dispute Resolution section in effect as of the date of Your Notice of Claim. Current versions of license agreements for Symantec products can be found at https://www.symantec.com/about/legal/repository.
g. Severability: With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 8(B)(e) of this Agreement ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement shall still apply.
12. General:
A. Governing Law. This License Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America.
B. Entire Agreement. This License Agreement is the entire agreement between You and Symantec relating to the Software and: (i) supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to its subject matter; and (ii) prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or similar communications between the parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this License Agreement will diminish any rights You may have under existing consumer protection legislation or other applicable laws in Your jurisdiction that may not be waived by contract. Symantec may terminate this License Agreement if You breach any term contained in this License Agreement (other than a trivial or inconsequential breach) and, if such termination occurs, You must cease use of and destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation. The disclaimers of warranties and damages and limitations on liability shall survive and continue to apply after termination.
Should You have any questions concerning this License Agreement, or if You desire to contact Symantec for any reason, please visit the Symantec Support page at www.symantec.com.

Subject to Your configuration settings and preferences, and depending on the security events and risks detected, the Software and our servers may collect from the Device on which they run certain information, potentially including personal data, such as:
- As part of Norton Community Watch, device and product information, internet usage as it relates to malware and potentially fraudulent sites, and processes and applications running at the time a security risk is encountered. This data collection is neither designed nor intended to collect Your personal data. Symantec shall not process any of this data in a way or for a purpose that seeks to identify or involves intentionally identifying You, evaluating personal characteristics concerning You, profiling You or making any determinations of a personal nature related to You. Symantec shall take reasonable technical and organizational measures to anonymize or dispose of any of Your personal data that may be incidentally collected for the purposes of Norton Community Watch. This data is necessary to effectively identify security risks on or to Your Device and, through the data aggregation of the Norton community, provide essential information for mitigating such security threats and improving user security and product functionality, as well as monitoring the effectiveness of Norton-specific tasks and settings on Your Device. You understand and acknowledge that if You disable the collection of data for the purpose of Norton Community Watch by altering the default settings of Your Device, You may reduce Symantec’s ability to effectively identify and mitigate security risks, and Your and Your Device’s protection from such risks may be impacted.
- Telemetry information on potential security risks as well as the URLs and the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of websites visited that the Software deems potentially fraudulent. While those IP addresses do not constitute personal data in and of themselves, certain URLs may contain personal data that a potentially fraudulent website is attempting to obtain without Your permission. This telemetry information is collected by Symantec for the purpose of delivering the functionalities of the Software, including to protect You from such unauthorized collection of Your personal data, and also for evaluating and improving the ability of Symantec’s products to detect malicious behavior, potentially fraudulent websites and other Internet security risks.
- If the Norton Safe Web or Norton Safe Search features are enabled, the URLs and the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of websites visited as well as search keywords and search results. This telemetry information is collected by Symantec for the purposes of providing You with the protection You can reasonably expect from those features, and of evaluating and advising You regarding potential threats and risks that may be associated with a particular Web site before You view it.
- Executable files and files that contain executable content (e.g. documents containing macros) that are identified as potential malware, including information on the actions taken by such files at the time of installation. These files are submitted to Symantec using the Software’s submission function. Such submission function may be deactivated after installation by following the instructions in the Documentation for applicable products. The collected files could contain personal data, in particular information concerning You that has been obtained by the malware without Your permission. Files of this type are collected by Symantec solely for the purpose of improving the ability of Symantec’s products to detect the kinds of malicious behaviors performed by such malware, and providing You and other users with superior protection against similar threats in future.
- The name given to the Device during the initial setup of such Device. If collected, the name will be used by Symantec as an account name for the Device under which You may elect to receive additional services and/or under which You may use certain features of the Software. You may change such account name at any time after installation of the Software and it is recommended that You do so.
- Status information regarding installation and operation of the Software. This information indicates to Symantec whether installation of the Software was successfully completed as well as whether the Software has encountered an error. The status information could contain personal data only if such information is included in the name of the file or folder encountered by the Software at the time of installation or error. The status information is collected by Symantec for the purpose of evaluating and improving Symantec’s product performance and installation success rate.
- Information contained in email messages that You submit through the Software to Symantec to report as spam or as incorrectly identified as spam. The metadata and content of such email messages is likely to contain personal data such as the recipient email address, and will only be sent to Symantec with Your permission, and will never be sent automatically. If You send such messages to Symantec, Symantec will use them only for the purpose of improving the detection performance of Symantec’s antispam technology. Symantec will not correlate or match up these files with any other personal data.
- Telemetry information contained in a report that You may choose to submit through the Software to Symantec when the Software encounters a problem. The report includes information regarding the status of both the Software and Your Device at the time that the Software encountered the problem. The status information about Your Device may include the system language, country locale, and the operating system version for Your Device, as well as the processes running, their status and performance information, and data from files or folders that were open at the time the Software encountered the problem. The information could contain personal data if such information is included in or is a part of the name of the files or folders open at the time the Software encountered the problem. This information will be sent to Symantec only with Your permission and will never be sent automatically. The information is collected by Symantec for the purpose of correcting the encountered problem and improving Symantec’s product performance. This information will not be correlated or matched up with any personal data.
- The Internet Protocol (IP) address and associated geographical information and/or Media Access Control (MAC) address and the Machine ID of the Device on which the Software are run. This information is collected and processed solely for the purposes of enabling the Software to function properly and in compliance with locally applicable requirements, as well as for Symantec’s legitimate license administration purposes.

The IMSI is not collected or stored by Symantec. The above information is used for the purpose of identifying the telecommunications Device eligible to receive Content Updates for the Software and Services. This information will not be correlated with any other personally identifiable information, such as Your account information. After the service has terminated the data is retained in statistical form exclusively for internal research. Symantec may share this data with third party contractors and/or data processors as needed for the purpose of account management.
- On a mobile Device: the WiFi Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Device on which the Software is installed to enable the Software to function and for license administration purposes.
- Other general, statistical information about the functioning of the Software. Such general, statistical information neither identifies, nor is used by Symantec to identify You, and it will be processed in aggregate form for the purposes of product analysis and product functionality improvement.
Subject to Your configuration settings and preferences where relevant, the information described above is collected to the extent necessary and proportionate for the purposes of delivering, maintaining, monitoring and continuously improving the functionality of the Software coved by this Agreement.
Information may be transferred to the Symantec group in the United States or other countries that may have less protective data protection laws than the region in which You are situated (including the European Union) and may be accessible by Symantec employees or contractors exclusively to be used in accordance with the purposes described above. For the same purposes the information may be shared with partners and vendors that process information on behalf of Symantec. Symantec has taken the necessary legal, technical and organizational steps to ensure that the collected information, if transferred internationally and/or to third-parties, receives an adequate level of protection at all times.
Subject to applicable laws, Symantec reserves the right to cooperate with any legal process and any law enforcement or other government inquiry related to Your use of this Software. This means that Symantec may provide documents and information requested by a lawful authority following the appropriate due process of law. In order to promote awareness, detection and prevention of Internet security risks, Symantec may share certain information with research organizations and other security software vendors. Symantec may also use statistics derived from the information to track and publish reports on security risk trends.

If Symantec takes such measures, Symantec will make a good-faith attempt to contact the user who stored and/or transmitted the content so that he or she may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA.

SYMANTEC DOES NOT WARRANT THIRD-PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES.
11.2. Limitation of Liability. SOME STATES AND JURISDICTIONS INCLUDING MEMBER COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES SO THE BELOW LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE, IN NO EVENT WILL SYMANTEC BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR (A) ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST DATA ARISING OUT OF THE PROVISION OF SERVICES, (B) ANY LOSS OF USE OR LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF COMPUTING DEVICES, FAILED MESSAGES OR TRANSMISSION ERRORS ARISING FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, OR (C) ANY SPECIAL CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR SIMILAR LOSS OR DAMAGE(S), EVEN IF SYMANTEC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE(S). IN NO CASE SHALL SYMANTEC’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THE SERVICES OR FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S. $50.00) OR EQUIVALENT AMOUNT IN THE APPLICABLE CURRENCY.
11.3. Proprietary Rights. Symantec retains ownership of all proprietary rights in the Services, the Site, the Support Software Tool, and in all trade names, trademarks and service marks associated or displayed with the Services. You will not remove, deface or obscure any of Symantec’s copyright or trademark notices and/or legends or other proprietary notices on, incorporated therein, or associated with the Services. You may not reverse engineer, reverse compile or otherwise reduce to human readable form any Support Software Tool with the Services.
11.4. Force Majeure. To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, Symantec shall not be responsible for any failure to perform due to unforeseen circumstances or to causes beyond Symantec's reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, war (whether declared or not), riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, fire, floods, accidents, strikes, lockouts, failure of public or private telecommunications networks and infrastructure, or shortages of transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials. In the event of any such delay, Symantec may be excused from such performance to the extent it is delayed or prevented by such cause.
11.5. Export Regulation. You acknowledge that the Services and related technical data and services (collectively "Controlled Technology") may be subject to the import and export laws of the United States, specifically the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and the laws of any country where Controlled Technology is imported or re-exported. You agree to comply with all relevant laws and will not export any Controlled Technology in contravention to U.S. law nor to any prohibited country, entity, or person for which an export license or other governmental approval is required.

You hereby agree that You will not export or sell any Controlled Technology for use in connection with chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, or missiles, drones or space launch vehicles capable of delivering such weapons.
11.6. Dispute Resolution. Symantec believes that most disagreements can be resolved informally and efficiently by contacting Symantec customer support. If You are a U.S. customer, and the dispute is not resolved through Symantec customer support, You and Symantec agree that any such dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Symantec products and services associated with the Terms (a “Claim”), shall be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction as follows:
A. Small Claims Court: You may elect to litigate your Claim in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the dispute. You agree to bring a Claim in small claims court in your county of residence or in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.
B. Arbitration: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to the Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that You and Symantec are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Terms.
a. Notice of Claim: If You elect to seek arbitration, You must first send to Symantec, by certified mail, a written Notice of Your Claim ("Notice of Claim"). The Notice of Claim to Symantec should be addressed to: General Counsel, Symantec, Inc., 350 Ellis Street, Mountain View, CA 94043 and should be prominently captioned “NOTICE OF CLAIM”. The Notice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address you would like Symantec to use to contact you. If Symantec elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim to Your billing address on file. A Notice of Claim, whether sent by You or by Symantec, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought ("Demand"); and (c) whether You reject any subsequent modification of the Dispute Resolution section by Symantec (see Section 11.6(B)(f)).
b. Arbitration Proceedings: If You and Symantec do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice of Claim is received, You or Symantec may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, alternatively, file a claim in small claims court). You may download or copy a form notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as appropriate, of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by the Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
c. Unless Symantec and You agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of either Your residence or of the mailing address You provided in Your Notice of Claim. If Your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, Symantec agrees that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Your claim exceeds US10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues You an award that is greater than the value of Symantec’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Symantec did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Symantec will pay You, in addition to the award, either US500 or 10% of the amount awarded, whichever is greater.
d. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief: Except as set forth in Section 11.6.A, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by You or Symantec, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that You or Symantec prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
e. Arbitration Fees: If Your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, Symantec will pay all fees imposed by the AAA to conduct the arbitration, including reimbursement of Your initial filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in Your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If Your claim for damages exceeds $10,000, standard AAA Rules will govern the payment of all AAA fees, including filing, administration and arbitrator fees.
f. Class Action Waiver: YOU AND SYMANTEC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if You have elected arbitration, unless both You and Symantec agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with Your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
g. Modification of Dispute Resolution Section: If Symantec changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date You first accepted these Terms, and You have not otherwise affirmatively agreed to such changes, You may reject any such change by so stating within Your Notice of Claim. By failing to reject any changes to this Dispute Resolution section in Your Notice of Claim, You agree to resolve any Claim between You and Symantec in accordance with the terms of the Dispute Resolution section in effect as of the date of Your Notice of Claim. Current versions of service agreements for Symantec services can be found at https://www.symantec.com/about/legal/repository.
e. Severability: With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 11.6(B)(e) of this Agreement ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement shall still apply.
12. General
A. Governing Law. The Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America.
B. Entire Agreement. The Terms are the entire agreement between You and Symantec relating to the Services and: (i) supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to its subject matter; and (ii) prevail over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or similar communications between the parties. The Terms shall terminate immediately upon Your breach of the Terms, including but not limited to: breach of your Basic Responsibilities, including payment and non-transfer obligations, under Section 1 or 4 herein, and/or breach of Symantec’s proprietary rights, or applicable import and export laws under Sections 11.3 or 11.5 herein, and You shall immediately cease use of the Services. The disclaimers of warranties and damages and limitations on liability set forth in the Terms shall survive termination. Should You have any questions concerning the Terms, or if You desire to contact Symantec for any reason, please visit the support page for Your country or region, which can be located at https://www.symantec.com/globalsites/. Symantec will not file a copy of the Terms.

4.6. Dispute Resolution. Symantec believes that most disagreements can be resolved informally and efficiently by contacting Symantec customer support. If You are a U.S. customer, and the dispute is not resolved through Symantec customer support, You and Symantec agree that any such dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Symantec products and services associated with the Terms (a “Claim”), shall be determined by binding arbitration or small claims court, instead of in courts of general jurisdiction as follows:
A. Small Claims Court: You may elect to litigate your Claim in small claims court if all the requirements of the small claims court are satisfied, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the dispute. You agree to bring a Claim in small claims court in your county of residence or in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.
B. Arbitration: Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to the Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision, and that You and Symantec are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Terms.
a. Notice of Claim: If You elect to seek arbitration, You must first send to Symantec, by certified mail, a written Notice of Your Claim ("Notice of Claim"). The Notice of Claim to Symantec should be addressed to: General Counsel, Symantec, Inc., 350 Ellis Street, Mountain View, CA 94043 and should be prominently captioned “NOTICE OF CLAIM”. The Notice of Claim should include both the mailing address and email address you would like Symantec to use to contact you. If Symantec elects to seek arbitration, it will send, by certified mail, a written Notice of Claim to Your billing address on file. A Notice of Claim, whether sent by You or by Symantec, must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; (b) set forth the specific amount of damages or other relief sought ("Demand"); and (c) whether You reject any subsequent modification of the Dispute Resolution section by Symantec (see Section 4.6(B)(e)).
b. Arbitration Proceedings: If You and Symantec do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice of Claim is received, You or Symantec may commence an arbitration proceeding (or, alternatively, file a claim in small claims court). You may download or copy a form notice and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as appropriate, of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (collectively, the "AAA Rules"), as modified by the Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and Forms are available online at www.adr.org. The arbitrator is bound by the Terms. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
c. Unless Symantec and You agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) of either Your residence or of the mailing address You provided in Your Notice of Claim. If Your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, Symantec agrees that You may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If Your claim exceeds US10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. If the arbitrator issues You an award that is greater than the value of Symantec’s last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if Symantec did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then Symantec will pay You, in addition to the award, either US500 or 10% of the amount awarded, whichever is greater.
d. Injunctive and Declaratory Relief: Except as set forth in Section 4.6.A, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by You or Symantec, and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that You or Symantec prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
e. Arbitration Fees: If Your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, Symantec will pay all fees imposed by the AAA to conduct the arbitration, including reimbursement of Your initial filing fee, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of Your claim or the relief sought in Your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). If Your claim for damages exceeds $10,000, standard AAA Rules will govern the payment of all AAA fees, including filing, administration and arbitrator fees.
f. Class Action Waiver: YOU AND SYMANTEC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if You have elected arbitration, unless both You and Symantec agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims with Your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
g. Modification of Dispute Resolution Section: If Symantec changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date You first accepted these Terms, and You have not otherwise affirmatively agreed to such changes, You may reject any such change by so stating within Your Notice of Claim. By failing to reject any changes to this Dispute Resolution section in Your Notice of Claim, You agree to resolve any Claim between You and Symantec in accordance with the terms of the Dispute Resolution section in effect as of the date of Your Notice of Claim. Current versions of service agreements for Symantec services can be found at https://www.symantec.com/about/legal/repository.
h. Severability: With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 4.6(B)(e) of this Agreement ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement shall still apply.
5. General
A. Governing Law. The Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, United States of America.
B. Entire Agreement. The Terms are the entire agreement between You and Symantec relating to the Services and: (i) supersede all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals, and representations with respect to its subject matter; and (ii) prevail over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or similar communications between the parties.
