11. Dispute Resolution
Agreement to Arbitrate
You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the
(collectively, “Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right:
(i) to bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) 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 party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights
(the action described in the foregoing clause (ii), an “IP Protection Action”).
By agreeing to these terms, you will be deemed to have knowingly and intentionally waived your right to
litigate any Dispute except as expressly set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. The exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of any IP Protection Action will be the state and federal courts located in Las Vegas, Nevada
and each of the parties hereto waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts. You
acknowledge and agree that you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff
or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Further, unless you
otherwise agree in writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may
not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If a decision is issued
stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any limitations set forth in this Agreement to
Arbitrate on the right to arbitrate claims on a class or representative basis, or as part of a consolidated
proceeding, as to a given claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the
arbitration and brought in the state or federal courts located in Las Vegas, Nevada All other claims will
be arbitrated. This “Dispute Resolution” section will survive any termination of these Terms.
Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with
the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes
(the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this “Dispute Resolution” section. (The AAA Rules
are available at https://www.adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal
Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
Arbitration Process
A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for
Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. AAA provides a general forms for a Demand for Arbitration.
The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected
by the parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator
within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator
in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure
Unless you agree with us otherwise, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If
your claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of the
documents that are submitted to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator
determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be
determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a
reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the
arbitration.
Arbitrator’s Decision
The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator’s
decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award.
Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The
arbitrator’s award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the “Limitation of Liability” section
above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator may
award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to
provide relief warranted by the claimant’s individual claim. If you prevail in arbitration you will be
entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
