d) Binding Arbitration. If you and Outcast Games are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or Outcast Games may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.

The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so.

a) The failure of Outcast Games to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Outcast Games's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.
