  1. Governing Law and Pre-Arbitration Notification of Dispute

These Terms provides for final, binding arbitration of all disputed claims (discussed below). The laws of the State of California will govern these Terms, without regard to conflicts of law provisions. The Company and you agree, however, that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any disputes before arbitration proceedings or any other proceedings authorized herein are initiated. In the event of a dispute, you shall notify the Company and provide a brief summary of the claim and request for relief. If the dispute is not resolved within 60 days of notification, you may proceed to initiate arbitration proceedings or any other proceedings authorized herein.

  1. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Except to the limited extent noted below, any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall take place in San Diego County, California in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Unless a hearing is requested (which may be conducted by telephone), the parties will submit their arguments and evidence to the arbitrator in writing, and the arbitrator will make an award based only on the documents (e.g., a “desk arbitration”). In no event shall the parties be required to travel to San Diego to participate in the arbitration.

If you decide to commence arbitration, the provider will require you to pay a filing fee based on the amount of the claim. The Company will reimburse you for any filing fees incurred in excess of $125 after arbitration is initiated, and you will be reimbursed the initial $125 fee if the arbitrator ultimately rules in your favor. This arbitration agreement is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. Either party may seek enforcement of this provision in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitrator shall exclusively determine any and all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim. The arbitral award shall be judicially enforceable. Any court of competent jurisdiction may, and upon request shall, enter judgment on the arbitral award. Either party may seek confirmation (judgment on the award) and/or enforcement in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit errors of law or legal reasoning, make clearly erroneous factual findings, or abuse his or her discretion, and the award may be vacated or corrected on appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.

Both you and the Company waive the right to bring any claim covered by this dispute resolution provision as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action regarding any claim covered by this dispute resolution provision brought by anyone else. Notwithstanding any provision in the Rules to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the claims of different persons into one proceeding.

  1. Opting-Out of Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

You may elect to opt out (exclude yourself) from the final, binding arbitration procedure and the class action waiver by sending a notice within 30 days of your initial use of the Services that specifies (1) your name, (2) your mailing address, and (3) your request to be excluded from the final, binding arbitration procedure and class action waiver set forth herein. All other terms shall continue to apply, including the requirement to pre-dispute notification and mediation, and non-arbitrated claims or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the use of any of the Services will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts in San Diego County, California with the parties consenting to such exclusive jurisdiction and venue.

  1. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its parents, subsidiaries and affiliates, and any of their officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, from any losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, demands, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) related to or arising out of your use of the Services, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any rights of any third party (including any third party website terms of service or privacy policies), or from any User Content that you post or otherwise submit on, through or in connection with the Services. Your indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and your use of the Services.

  1. Other

The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. The Section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. These Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. If any provision of these Terms is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable from these Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
