You and Balyasny agree that any dispute that arises between us that we cannot resolve informally we will submit to binding arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, as applied in in the Borough of Manhattan, New York State. Regarding the resolution of any dispute, you understand that:
 

Arbitration is final and binding. By agreeing to arbitration, you waive your right to resolve disputes in court, including the right to a jury trial. Arbitration is different from a court proceeding and is generally more limited. The arbitrator’s decision is not required to include factual findings or legal reasoning. Your right to appeal or seek to modify the arbitrator’s rulings is strictly limited.
 

Any questions about the nature of our relationship or the law surrounding this relationship will be governed by New York State law without giving effect to conflicts of law principles.
 

20. Miscellaneous: By using the Site, you represent and warrant that you agree to abide by and that you are fully able and capable of complying with all of the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations and warranties set forth in these Terms. The parties’ respective representations, warranties, obligations, rights and remedies herein shall be deemed cumulative, and any party’s exercise of any one of such party’s rights or remedies shall not preclude such party’s exercise of any other right or remedy then available to it (whether hereunder, another written, signed contract or at law or in equity). Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The Protected Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of the Terms. Nothing in the Terms, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person other than the foregoing any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no provision herein shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of any party hereto. You may not assign the Terms or delegate any of your obligations under the Terms. Any purported assignment of the Terms in violation hereof is void. The Terms constitute the entire understanding, and supersedes all other understandings, between you and Balyasny concerning the subject matter hereof. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. As used in the Terms, unless the context otherwise requires, (i) words in the singular number or in the plural number shall each include the singular number and the plural number, (ii) the use of any gender shall include all genders, (iii) “including” (and any of its derivative forms, e.g. “includes”) means including but not limited to, (iv) “will”, “should” and “shall” are expressions of command, not merely expressions of future intent or expectation.

  6. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL DATA
    1. Balyasny is a global business. Our customers and our operations are spread around the world. As a result we collect and transfer Personal Data on a global basis. That means that we may transfer your Personal Data to locations outside of your country.
    2. Personal Data collected for recruiting or employment purposes, regardless of where collected, may be transferred to our U.S. headquarters and may be transferred outside of the EEA (or your home country, if not in the EEA) to our affiliates or third parties that process application information for the purposes described above. When this occurs, Balyasny requires such companies to treat your information confidentially.
    3. Where you are in the EEA and we transfer your Personal Data to another country outside the EEA, we will ensure that it is protected and transferred in a manner consistent with legal requirements. In relation to data being transferred outside of Europe, for example, this may be done in one of the following ways:
      • the country that we send the data to might be approved by the European Commission as offering an adequate level of protection for Personal Data;
      • the recipient might have signed up to a contract based on “model contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your Personal Data;
      • where the recipient is located in the US, it might be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme; or
      • in other circumstances the law may permit us to otherwise transfer your Personal Data outside Europe.
    4. If you are in the EEA, you can obtain more details of the protection given to your Personal Data when it is transferred outside Europe by contacting us as described in paragraph 11 below.
  7. HOW WE SAFEGUARD YOUR INFORMATION
    1. We have extensive controls in place to maintain the security of our information and information systems. Client files are protected with safeguards according to the sensitivity of the relevant information. Appropriate controls (such as restricted access) are placed on our computer systems. Physical access to areas where particularly sensitive Personal Data (for example, resumes/CVs submitted for recruiting purposes) is gathered, processed or stored is limited to authorised employees.
    2. Balyasny employees are required to follow all applicable laws and regulations, including in relation to data protection law. Access to sensitive Personal Data is limited to those employees who need to it to perform their roles. Unauthorised use or disclosure of confidential client information by a Balyasny employee is prohibited and may result in disciplinary measures.
    3. When you contact a Balyasny employee about your file, you may be asked for some Personal Data. This type of safeguard is designed to ensure that only you, or someone authorised by you, has access to your file.
  8. HOW LONG WE KEEP YOUR PERSONAL DATA
    1. How long we will hold your Personal Data for will vary and will be determined by the following criteria:
      • the purpose for which we are using it – Balyasny will need to keep the data for as long as is necessary for that purpose; and
      • legal obligations – laws or regulation may set a minimum period for which we have to keep your Personal Data.
  9. EEA DATA SUBJECTS: YOUR RIGHTS

      • the right to obtain information regarding the processing of your Personal Data and access to the Personal Data which we hold about you;
      • the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your Personal Data at any time. Please note, however, that we may still be entitled to process your Personal Data if we have another legitimate reason for doing so. For example, we may need to retain Personal Data to comply with a legal obligation;
      • in some circumstances, the right to receive some Personal Data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and/or request that we transmit those data to a third party where this is technically feasible.

      • the right to request that we rectify your Personal Data if it is inaccurate or incomplete;
