17. APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTES RESOLUTIONS
This Agreement and any attached or Linked Documents and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in New York, New York before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and pursuant to its Mass Arbitration Procedures and Guidelines (provided that, with respect to the definition of “Mass Arbitration” as set forth in Procedure 1(c) thereof, the number of claimants shall be 30 or more) and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules and any hearing shall be administered online by video conference. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator(s) determine a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. The arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against any party.
BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY.
ANY REFERENCES TO MASS ARBITRATION PROCEDURES AND GUIDELINES SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS AUTHORIZING CLASS ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND.
Batching. To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, in the event 30 or more similar arbitration demands presented by or with the assistance or coordination of the same law firm or organization are submitted to JAMS or another arbitration provider (if JAMS is unavailable) against Evergrid within any 180 day period, the arbitration provider shall (i) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 30 demands per batch (to the extent there are fewer than 30 arbitration demands left over after the batching described above, a final batch will consist of the remaining demands); (ii) designate a single, different arbitrator for each batch (unless the parties agree otherwise); and (iii) provide for a single filing set of fees (for example, if JAMS is the arbitration provider, one filing fee, case management fee, and arbitrator compensation fee) due per side per batch. Customer agrees to cooperate in good faith with Evergrid and the arbitration provider to implement such a “batch approach” or other similar approach to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of claims. This “Batch Arbitrations” provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing class arbitration of any kind. Evergrid expressly reserves its right to raise unique defenses as to each claimant in connection with this process.
18. CONFIDENTIALITY

Confidential information means any information of the disclosing party, including, but not limited to: scientific, technical, technological, production, financial, economic, or other information, including information on information security, identification/authentication, and authorization (logins, passwords, etc.) tools, software and hardware suites, principles of their operation, source codes (their parts) of computer programs; statistics, information on customers, products, services, or research findings. The Parties (in such capacity, the “Receiving Party”) undertake to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information and not to disclose or transfer to any third parties’ Confidential Information obtained from or made available by each other (in such capacity, the “Disclosing Party”) during or before the term of this Agreement, except as specified in the Agreement, stipulated by applicable law or agreed by the Parties in writing, and not to use any Confidential Information for purposes contrary to purposes of the Agreement.
18.2. Receiving Party shall in no event use a lower degree of care in safeguarding the disclosing Party´s Confidential information than it uses for its own information of like sensitivity and importance and upon discovery of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential information in its possession the receiving party shall use its best endeavors to prevent any further disclosure or unauthorized use thereof.
18.3. Confidentiality obligations do not apply to any information in the public domain at the time of disclosure or later becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party.
18.4. If Confidential information is disclosed in breach of this section, Party at fault undertakes to indemnify for losses caused by such disclosure, if the affected Party requests so. Receiving Party agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information may cause injury to Disclosing Party, the extent of which will be difficult to ascertain and for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Receiving Party agrees that Disclosing Party, in addition to any other available remedies, may have the right to seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement as ordered by the court. Receiving Party shall notify Disclosing Party immediately if Receiving Party has reason to believe that any person who has had access to the Confidential Information (including Receiving Party or any of its representatives) has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Agreement or otherwise disclose any Confidential Information in violation of the terms hereof. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
18.5. The obligations set forth in this section shall bind the Parties for a period of three (3) years from the date of disclosure of Confidential information and such obligations shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of this Agreement. Upon expiration of this term, Receiving Party shall, upon Disclosing Party’s written request, promptly deliver to Disclosing Party all Confidential Information, and, at Disclosing Party’s sole election, return or destroy all copies, reproductions, summaries, analyses or extracts thereof or based thereon in Receiving Party’s possession.
18.6. The following information provided by the Parties is not deemed of being the breach of confidentiality:
(a) information that is required by applicable law or regulatory, legal or administrative process, or any other order or mandate of a court or other governmental authority, to be disclosed by the receiving party but, only to the minimum extent required and for the purpose of such order, and provided that the receiving party first notifies disclosing party of the order (if not prohibited by applicable law) and, upon the request of the disclosing Party, receiving party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the disclosing party, at the disclosing Party’s sole expense, in seeking an appropriate protective order;
(b) information legally required to be provided to auditors or external consultants subject to such persons undertaking to protect the confidentiality of information transferred under terms that ensure equal or higher level of protection as compared to the terms of the Agreement;
(c) information provided to a Party’s affiliates, if such provision to an affiliate is reasonably needed for the Party to discharge its contractual obligations and the affiliate undertakes to protect the confidentiality of information transferred under terms that ensure equal or higher level of protection as compared to the terms of the Agreement;
(d) information provided to third parties involved to provide all or some Services, if such parties undertake to protect the confidentiality of information transferred under terms that ensure equal or higher level of protection as compared to the terms of the Agreement.
18.7.
