Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Both you and Company agree that any dispute or claim related to your use of the Website or the relationship between you and Company, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory ("Dispute"), will be resolved in accordance with this section. Except as provided below, you and Company waive the right to try any claim in court before a judge or jury and to bring or participate in any class, collective, or other representative action.

Mandatory Informal Dispute Resolution

If a Dispute arises between you and Company, we prefer amicable resolution to formal legal proceedings. To that end, we have an informal dispute resolution process (“Process”) that we hope will resolve most matters. The party initiating the Dispute shall first try in good faith to resolve such Dispute by providing written notice (the “Notice”) to the other party that includes all of the following information: (1) information sufficient to identify any transaction and account at issue (including any purchase receipt if applicable); (2) the party’s contact information (including full name, address, telephone number, and email address); and (3) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute and the relief sought, including a good faith calculation for it. The Notice must be personally signed by the party initiating the Dispute (and their counsel, if represented). If you have the Dispute with us, you must send this Notice by certified mail with return receipt or another tracking mechanism to: 23251 Mulholland Dr, Woodland Hills, CA 91364. If we have a Dispute with you, we will send this Notice to the most recent contact information we have on file for you by certified mail with return receipt or another tracking mechanism. For a period of at least sixty (60) days from receipt of a completed Notice (which can be extended by agreement of the parties), you and we agree to negotiate in good faith in an effort to informally resolve the Dispute. The party receiving the notice may request a telephone settlement conference to aid in the resolution of the Dispute. If such a conference is requested, you and a Company representative will personally attend (with counsel, if represented). The conference will be scheduled for a mutually convenient time, which may be outside of the 60-day period. Completion of this Process is a condition precedent to initiating a claim in arbitration. If the sufficiency of a Notice or compliance with this Process is at issue, such issue may be raised with and decided by a court of competent jurisdiction at either party’s election, and any arbitration shall be stayed. The court shall have the authority to enforce this condition precedent to arbitration, which includes the power to enjoin the filing or prosecution of arbitrations and the assessment or collection of arbitration fees. Nothing in this paragraph limits the right of a party to seek damages for non-compliance with this Process in arbitration. All applicable limitations periods (including statutes of limitations) shall be tolled from the date of receipt of a Notice through the conclusion of this Process. You or Company may commence arbitration if the Dispute is not resolved through this Process.

Arbitration Agreement

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, any Dispute not resolved through the informal process above shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a single neutral arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, available at www.adr.org/consumer. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, the parties shall agree on an alternative administrator or petition a court to appoint one.

Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court consistent with applicable jurisdictional and monetary limits, provided it is maintained as an individual claim. Either party may also seek injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights.

Any hearing shall be conducted by telephone, videoconference, or written submissions unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is necessary, in which case it will be held in the county where you reside unless the parties agree otherwise.

The arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief available in court, including damages, injunctive or declaratory relief, and fees and costs as permitted by applicable law. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This arbitration agreement shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.

Class Action Waiver

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all Disputes will be resolved on an individual basis only. You and Company expressly waive any right to bring or participate in any class, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or representative action. An arbitrator may not consolidate claims or preside over any representative proceeding. If this waiver is found unenforceable for a particular claim, that claim will be decided by a court after all other claims are arbitrated.

Costs

Payment of arbitration fees will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and applicable fee schedule.

Severability

If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section is found invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and the remainder shall remain in full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver is found unenforceable for a particular dispute, then the arbitration agreement does not apply to that dispute, and it must be resolved in court.

Applicable Law

This arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and, to the extent not inconsistent with federal law, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms will not constitute a waiver of that right or provision or any other rights or provisions included within the Terms.
