The arbitrator 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.

15. 5. Entire Agreement
The Agreement set out the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter herein, and they supersede and replace any and all earlier agreements and understandings between you and us. A person who is not a party to the Agreement has no right to rely upon or enforce any part of the Agreement.

15. 6. Waivers of Our Rights
The failure of NGELGAMES to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of NGELGAMES Policy or failure to exercise any right hereunder will not be considered a waiver or relinquishment of NGELGAMES’ right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. An express waiver made by NGELGAMES on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose that it is given and is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against any other person.
Any waiver of such rights shall only be effective if it is in writing and signed by us.

15. 7. Force Majeure
NGELGAMES will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from any cause outside the reasonable control of NGELGAMES, including, without limitation, any failure to perform under NGELGAMES Policy due to unforeseen cause beyond NGELGAMES’ control, such as acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, change of law or administrative rules, fire, floods, network infrastructure failures, cyber crimes, strikes, or shortages of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials

15. 8. Severability
You agree that if any portion of these Terms of Service or NGELGAMES Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.


16. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration for U.S. Residents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing section 15, if you are a resident of the USA, you and NGELGAMES agree to resolve all disputes and claims through binding arbitration pursuant to this Section. Unless you and we otherwise agree, the arbitration will take place in the county where you reside. 

16.1 BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY AS THEY REQUIRE YOU TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES WITH US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the relationship between you and us (“Dispute”) shall be determined exclusively by binding arbitration. However, the Dispute do not include any claim regarding the infringement, protection or validity of intellectual property rights or a claim brought in small claims court. 
YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE CLASS ACTION. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION TRIED OR CHALLENGED BY A JURY. The arbitrator shall not consolidate your claim with the claims of others, and shall not preside over any form of a representative or class action. The arbitrator 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.

16.2 Certified Notice
Both parties may elect to have the Dispute finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of dispute (“Notice”). The Notice to NGELGAEMS should be addressed to:  NGELGAMES, 1 on Alphacity 1-ro 35-gil, Suseong-gu, Daegu, Republic of Korea. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) specify the remedies sought by the claimant. If you and we do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding.  

16.3 American Arbitration Association Rules
A party’s choice to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 16 notwithstanding any other choice of law provision contained in this Agreement. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) then in effect. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/consumer. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. Arbitration of any claim not exceeding $25,000 will be conducted solely on the basis of documents you and we submit to the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall make a decision in writing, and shall provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party. Either party may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

16.4 Reimbursement
If the arbitrator rules in your favor on the merits of any claim you bring against us and issues you an award that is greater in monetary value than our last written settlement offer made before our final written submissions to the arbitrator, then we will reimburse the arbitration fees that you paid to the AAA.
