Controlling Law

Binding Arbitration
In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Content, or the Website (“Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) Dispute Resolution Hearing rules.  Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party.  IF EITHER PARTY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION.  All disputes will be resolved before a neural arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision shall be final.  The arbitration will be commenced and conducted by American Arbitration Association (hereafter “AAA”)  pursuant to its current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to AAA Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.  All applicable AAA rules and procedures are available at the AAA website www.adr.org.  Each party will be responsible for paying any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with AAA rules.  Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.  The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by telephone, or online.  If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States, in the county where you reside.  The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending in arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.  The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration.  As set forth in Section 18 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

Class Action Waiver
You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually.  To the full extent permitted by law: (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Equitable Relief
You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement.  We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above.  You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and any state courts in California, for purposes of any such action by us.

Miscellaneous
YOU AGREE THAT, UNLESS CONTRARY TO ANY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE WEBSITE, THE CONTENT, OR THIS AGREEMENT, MUST BE COMMENCED BY YOU WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES, OTHERWISE SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS BARRED.  If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction or terminated in accordance with the Termination provision, the invalidity or termination of such provision shall not affect the validity of the following provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement.  No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance.  Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between you and us.  This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sub-licensees.
