9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
You agree that any dispute between you and Company arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Service, or any other Company products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.
9.1 Governing Law
This Agreement and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in San Francisco County, California, for any actions for which we retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a our copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or proprietary rights, as set forth in the “Arbitration” provision below, including any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that San Francisco County, California, is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below is found to be unenforceable.
9.2 Informal Dispute Resolution
We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before you file a legal claim against Company, you agree to first contact us by e-mail and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally.
9.3 Agreement To Arbitrate
Read this section carefully because it requires the parties to arbitrate their disputes and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from Company. In the unlikely event that Company has not been able to resolve any Dispute it has with you (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”) after sixty (60) days, you and Company agree that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for any and all Claims relating in any way to or arising out of this Agreement shall be final and binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement.
9.4 Arbitration Procedures
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow this Agreement as a court would.
Any Claim between Company and you about or involving your use of the Service that is unable to be informally resolved must be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, in New York, New York, USA , provided that the foregoing shall not prevent Partnered from seeking injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
9.5 Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver
In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Company agree that all Claims must be brought in the parties’ individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, collective action, private attorney general action or other representative proceeding. This waiver applies to class arbitration, and, unless we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims. You agree that, by agreeing to this Agreement, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action, collective action, private attorney general action, or other representative proceeding of any kind.
9.6 Limitation on Claims
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 Service must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. This Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by Customer except with Company’s prior written consent. Company may transfer and assign any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without consent. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, and that all waivers and modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein. No agency, partnership, joint venture or employment is created as a result of this Agreement and Customer does not have any authority of any kind to bind Company in any respect whatsoever. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys’ fees. All notices under this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when received, if personally delivered; when receipt is electronically confirmed, if transmitted by facsimile or e-mail; the day after it is sent, if sent for next day delivery by recognized overnight delivery service; and upon receipt, if sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions
