IF YOU USE THE GAME IN A COUNTRY OTHER THAN THE USA, THIS CLAUSE 12 DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU.
This clause 12 will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If you and Frontier cannot resolve a dispute by informal negotiation within thirty (30) days of providing the other party with written notice of a dispute, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by final, binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

The parties waive the right to seek punitive damages and the arbitrator will not award such damages. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE ALL DISPUTES IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY.
No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions.

Further, you and Frontier agree that a dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.
Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Agreement will be between Frontier and you individually. If the agreement in this clause not to bring or participate in an arbitration on a class-action basis should be found unenforceable, you and Frontier agree that it will not be severable, and that this entire clause 12 will be deemed unenforceable and any dispute will be resolved in court and not by collective arbitration.

13.3 In the event of a conflict between the terms of this EULA and the Conditions of Use, the provisions of this EULA shall prevail.
13.4 If we fail to insist that you perform any of your obligations under this EULA, or if we do not enforce our rights against you, or if we delay in doing so, that will not mean that we have waived our rights against you and will not mean that you do not have to comply with those obligations.
