portion of it, will not be consolidated with any other
arbitration and will not be conducted on a class-wide or class
action basis. The arbitration shall take place in Taipei,
Taiwan, R.O.C., and the arbitration proceedings shall be
conducted in English or, if both parties so agree, in Mandarin
Chinese. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on
the parties and may be enforced in any court having
jurisdiction. You understand that, in the absence of this
provision, you would have had a right to litigate any such
dispute, controversy or claim in a court, including the right to
litigate claims on a class-wide or class-action basis, and you

resolve any disputes through binding arbitration in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 18. Nothing in
this Section shall be deemed to prohibit or restrict Synology

and remedies as it may have at law or equity for any actual
or threatened breach of any provision of this EULA relating
to Synology's intellectual property rights.
Section 19. Attorneys' Fees.

held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
or unenforceable, the remainder of this EULA will remain in
full force and effect.
Section 21. Entire Agreement.
This EULA sets forth the
entire agreement of Synology and you with respect to the
Software and the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements
whether written or oral. No amendment, modification or
waiver of any of the provisions of this EULA will be valid
unless set forth in a written instrument signed by the party to
be bound thereby.
