XIV. Dispute Resolution Provisions

The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in Los Angeles, California and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without regard to conflict of law principles). In the event of any dispute arising under or related to the Site, Services, terms and conditions of the Agreement, the breach of same by any party hereto, or the arbitrability of any claim (including any questions about the scope, applicability, interpretation, validity, or enforceability of this section or the Agreement): (a) the parties agree to exclusively submit their dispute for resolution by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Any such disputes, including any threshold disagreement about the arbitrability of any claim, shall be delegated to the arbitrator (and not a court). The United States Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation of this arbitration clause. Arbitration hereunder shall be conducted by one neutral arbitrator appointed by the AAA. At the request of either party, the arbitrator will enter an appropriate protective order to maintain the confidentiality of information produced or exchanged in the course of the arbitration proceedings. In no event shall the arbitrator have any authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Irrespective of the outcome of arbitration, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including its own attorney's fees, and an equal share of the arbitrator's fees and administrative fees of arbitration. The arbitrator shall not determine or award any alternative allocation of costs and expenses, including any attorney's fees. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive relief in order to protect its rights pending an outcome in arbitration. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to your use of the Site, the Services, any products or services offered through the Site, and/or this Agreement must be brought within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

To the extent permitted by law, you agree that you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit or class wide arbitration as to any claim, dispute or controversy that you may have against Company and/or its owners, employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and/or assigns. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney's fees and court costs that Company incurs in seeking such relief. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits: (a) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights or remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above; and (b) is an independent agreement.

You may opt-out of these dispute resolution provisions by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first access the Site. Thereafter, these dispute resolution provisions shall be final and binding.

XV. Miscellaneous

Should any part of the Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. The Agreement is personal between you and Company and governs your use of the Site, superseding any and all prior and/or contemporaneous agreements between you and Company. To the extent that anything in or associated with the Site and/or any Company offering is in conflict or inconsistent with the Agreement, the Agreement shall take precedence. Our failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. The parties do not intend that any agency or partnership relationship be created through operation of the Agreement.
