PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (JURY TRIAL WAIVER) OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SPECIFIED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS) WITH DEVELOPER AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM DEVELOPER (NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS).
12.1 Binding Arbitration; Disputes; Small Claims. You and Developer agree to waive any right to a jury trial, or the right to have any Dispute resolved in any court, and instead accept the use of binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination); provided, however, that you have the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the Dispute, are satisfied. You agree to bring a Dispute in small claims court in Los Angeles County, California. “Dispute” as used in this Section 12 means any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy arising out of or in any way related to Developer, these Terms, the subject matter of these Terms, or access to and use of the Software Product, including but not limited to contract, personal injury, tort, warranty, statute or regulation, or other legal or equitable basis and disputes that involve third parties (such as developers of Third Party Content), except any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy relating to Developer’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and/or patents). You and Developer empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.
12.2 No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and Developer agree that any Dispute is personal to you and Developer, and that any Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither you nor Developer agree that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action whether inside or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.
12.3 Federal Arbitration Act. You and Developer agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 12 shall be governed by, construed, and enforced, both substantively and procedurally, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
12.4 Confidentiality. The arbitrator, Developer, and you shall maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including but not limited to, any and all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator shall have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.
12.5 Process. Our goal is to resolve claims fairly and quickly. Accordingly, for any Dispute that you have against Developer, you agree to first contact Developer and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to Developer. The Notice to Developer must be sent by certified mail addressed to: 1800 N NEW HAMPSHIRE AVE #404 LOS ANGELES, CA 90027. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, and the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your account; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Developer cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after such Notice is received, then either party may, as appropriate in accordance with this Section 12, commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in court. You and Developer agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred.
In the event that you and Developer cannot resolve a Dispute and you do not pursue your claims through small claims court, you or Developer shall promptly submit the Dispute to binding arbitration at the office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). In the event AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, you and Developer agree to use an arbitration forum or arbitrator that you and Developer mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, you and Developer are not able to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) then in effect. The AAA Rules and other information about AAA and arbitration are readily available at http://www.adr.org, by calling 1-800-778-7879, or by mail at 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271. By entering into these Terms, you either (1) acknowledge that you have read and understand the AAA Rules or (2) waive reading the AAA Rules and waive any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair in any way. You and Developer agree that these Terms govern the arbitration, and that the applicable AAA Rules shall be subject to changes in procedures that AAA may make from time to time.
As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute; provided, however, that this power does not include the power to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms (as stated above). The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration, and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, or any proceeding on behalf of or involving more than one person or persons.
Unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, you and Developer will equally share in all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
12.6 Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor Developer can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision, and must include your name and residence address, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Any requests to opt out must be sent to: 1800 N NEW HAMPSHIRE AVE #404 LOS ANGELES, CA 90027
Unless you choose to opt out, this dispute resolution provision in Section 12 shall survive termination of these Terms.
13.1 Developer is based in the United States and our Software Products are subject to U.S. law. We make no representations or warranties that the Software Product is appropriate or available for use in other locations.
13.2 The laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern your access to and use of the Software Product. Your access to and use of the Software Product may also be subject to other local, state, national or international laws.
13.3 To the extent the provisions in Section 12 do not apply, you further agree that all disputes, causes of action, claims, or controversies arising under these Terms that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be resolved exclusively in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating all such claims.
Developer reserves the right to change, suspend, remove, discontinue or disable access to the Software Product or particular portions thereof, at any time and without notice. In no event will Developer be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to any portion or feature of the Software Product.
We reserve the right to terminate your right to access and use the Software Product if you violate these Terms or any other terms or policies referenced herein, or if you otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us.
If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
You may not assign these Terms or any of the rights granted hereunder without the prior written consent of Developer, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the foregoing restriction, these Terms will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by us and our respective successors and assigns.
Any failure by Developer to insist upon or enforce performance by you of any of the provisions of these Terms or to exercise any rights or remedies under these Terms or otherwise by law will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any right to assert or rely upon the provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance; rather, the provision, right or remedy will be and remain in full force and effect.
