ARTICLE 18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION &
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
THIS ARTICLE 18 GOVERNS HOW DISPUTES BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE RESOLVED, AND REQUIRES THAT DISPUTES BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION. PLEASE REVIEW CAREFULLY AS IT LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS OR OTHER COLLECTIVE ACTIONS.
- 18.1. Pre-Arbitration Dispute Resolution and Notification. In the event a dispute arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the Parties, in good faith, agree to first attempt to resolve the dispute between them through informal direct discussions prior to the initiation of arbitration. If, after a good faith effort to negotiate, one Party feels the dispute has not and cannot be resolved informally, the Party intending to pursue arbitration agrees to notify the other Party via email prior to initiating the arbitration.
- 18.2. Agreement to Arbitrate. In the event the Parties cannot resolve a dispute through direct informal discussions, the Parties mutually agree that any dispute, claim, counterclaim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement—including the applicability, breach, termination, validity, enforcement or interpretation thereof—or the use of the Site and/or Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding individual arbitration (the “Arbitration Agreement”). If there is a dispute about whether this Arbitration Agreement can be enforced or applies to a Dispute, the Parties mutually agree that the arbitrator will decide this issue.
- 18.3. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. The Parties mutually agree that the following claims are exceptions to the Arbitration Agreement and will be brought in a judicial proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction:
- (a) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; and
- (b) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances. Filing of claims under this Section 18.3 shall not be deemed a waiver of either Party’s right under the Arbitration Agreement to have all other Disputes determined by individual arbitration in accordance with the terms of the Arbitration Agreement.
- 18.4. Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and/or other AAA arbitration rules determined to be applicable by AAA (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified here. The arbitration will be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision in any such arbitration will be final and binding upon the Parties and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including, without limitation, any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged and any testimony or other oral submissions and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies. The Parties shall pay their own costs related to the arbitration, provided that in the final award, the arbitrator may apportion the costs and fees of arbitration among the Parties in such amounts as the arbitrator deems appropriate.
- 18.5. Jury Trial Waiver. Both User and Company acknowledge and agree that they are waiving the right to a trial by jury as to all disputes subject to arbitration.
- 18.6. No Class Actions or Representative Proceedings. Both User and Company acknowledge and agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each is waiving the right to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action lawsuit, class-wide arbitration, collective action, private attorney general action, or any other representative proceeding as to all Disputes. Disputes may not be arbitrated on a class, collective or representative basis. Unless User and Company both otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties, or otherwise preside over any form of class action or representative proceeding. If the “class action lawsuit” waiver or the “class-wide arbitration” waiver in this Section is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement will be deemed void with respect to such Dispute and the Dispute must proceed in court. If the “collective action” waiver or the “private attorney general action” waiver or the “representative proceeding” waiver in this Section 17.6 is held unenforceable with respect to any Dispute, those waivers may be severed from this Arbitration Agreement and the Parties agree that any private attorney general claims and representative claims in the Dispute will be severed and stayed, pending the resolution of any claims subject to arbitration in the Dispute in individual arbitration.
- 18.7. Severability, No Waiver. Except as provided in Section 18.6, if any provision of the Arbitration Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, then that specific provision shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed, but the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
- 18.8. Survival Past Termination. Unless superseded by a later arbitration agreement between the Parties, this Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement.
- 18.9. Jurisdiction/venue. The parties further agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts in Contra Costa County, California, as the case may be, for purposes of any pre-arbitral injunctive relief, including any application for a preliminary injunction or order compelling arbitration, and waive any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, or that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over such party. Neither the parties nor the arbitrators may publicly disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

- 21.3. Should any competent court or arbitrator determine that any provision of these Terms is unenforceable as written, then said provision shall be deemed to have been rewritten in accordance with the law; if that is not possible, then that provision shall be deemed to have been stricken from the Terms, and all other provisions remain in full force and effect. If You do not agree to these Terms, please stop using Service immediately.
