YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS:
(a) MANDATORY ARBITRATION. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and Company agree to try to resolve any dispute informally within 60 days of notification by sending us a notice at [email protected]. If you and Company cannot resolve the dispute, either party can resolve any past or present claims relating to these Terms or our Services through final and binding arbitration via JAMS and applicable JAMS rules, where the parties will split arbitration fee. You have the right to opt out of these arbitration terms, and future changes to these arbitration terms, by notifying Company within 30 days of agreeing to these arbitration terms or the relevant changes at [email protected]. This arbitration section does not require arbitration of the following claims: (i) individual claims brought in small claims court; and (ii) injunctive or other equitable relief to stop a violation of these Terms or of applicable law; or (iii) to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or intellectual property infringement.
(b) Arbitration, including threshold questions of arbitrability of the dispute, will be handled by a sole arbitrator in accordance with those rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court that has jurisdiction.
(c) NO CLASS ACTIONS. To the extent permitted by law, class actions must be brought on an individual basis only, and may not be brought as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. Class arbitrations (except upon submission of more than 30 or more similar arbitration claims), class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, each party knowingly and irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim. This does not prevent either party from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.
(a) Updates to these Terms. These Terms are subject to (i) any further agreement or terms provided by the Company for the use of any beta test, service, or site functionality beyond that described above, or (ii) future updates to the Terms as described below. Any update to these Terms will be provided by updates to this page, and other commercially reasonable forms of notice provided by Company at its sole discretion or otherwise required by applicable law.
(b) Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding California’s conflicts of law rules or principles. Except as provided in the “Dispute Resolution” section, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms will be brought exclusively in the federal Northern District of California or state courts of San Mateo County, California.
(c) Miscellaneous—Company’s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, including the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of these Terms shall continue in effect. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. These Terms are the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
