Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of California, U.S.A., without regard to its choice of law rules, and regardless of your location. All disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any aspect of the relationship between you and Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury, and Company and you each hereby waive the right to trial by a jury. You agree that any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Medication Procedures (currently accessible at https://adr.org/sites/default/files/CommercialRules_Web.pdf) as amended by this Agreement.

The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties hereby submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Mateo, California for the confirmation or enforcement of any award rendered by the arbitrator pursuant to this agreement to arbitrate, and the parties waive any objection to the venue or personal jurisdiction of such courts, and any objection based on inconvenient forum.

Copyright Infringement Claims.

If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Company a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to Sara Masoudnia as follows: By mail to Sara Masoudnia, 1390 Market Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California 94102; or by e-mail to [email protected].
