17. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; VENUE; DISPUTE RESOLUTION.
This Agreement shall be interpreted under the laws of the State of California without regard to any
conflict of law provisions. Any and all disputes arising under or related in any way to these terms or
Company’s provision of the Service must be resolved through confidential binding arbitration as
described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It includes,
but is not limited to, all claims and disputes relating to your use of the Service.
PARTNER AGREES THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, PARTNER IS WAIVING THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. PARTNER FURTHER
AGREES THAT PARTNER MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY ONLY IN PARTNER’S
CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
17.1 Any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the
interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count,
claim, or cause of action) regarding or relating to Company’s provision of the Service, or this
Agreement, shall be exclusively settled through binding and confidential arbitration.
17.2 Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state arbitration law. The
arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving
commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). As modified by
these terms, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed
by the AAA’s rules for commercial arbitration and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the
procedures for consumer-related disputes.
17.3 The arbitrator’s award shall be final and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
The arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicablelaw. Additionally, each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory
provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees’ and expenses, and then in such instance,
the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
17.4 Notwithstanding these terms to arbitrate, Company may seek emergency equitable relief before any
state or federal court located in Los Angeles, California, in order to maintain the status quo pending
arbitration, and Partner hereby agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts for
such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
17.5 If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or
otherwise conflicts with the terms and conditions, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall
remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable,
illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If for any reason the entirety of this arbitration
provision shall be found null and void, and a claim subject to such provisions proceeds in court rather
than in arbitration, the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court in Los Angeles,
California.
17.6 For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you
may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.

This Agreement cannot be changed orally. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect any other provisions and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to make it legal, valid and enforceable. Any provision which must survive in order to allow Company to enforce its meaning shall survive the termination of this Agreement; however, no action arising out of this Agreement or Partner’s use of the Service, regardless of the form or basis of the claim, may be brought by Partner more than one year after the cause of action has arisen or otherwise accrues (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose or accrued). The failure of Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision, or any other in the future.
18.2 This Agreement shall not be deemed to create an agency, partnership, employment or joint-venture
relationship between Company and Partner. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a grant of
authority to either party to accept any order, waive any right, incur any obligation or liability, enter into
any agreement, grant any release or otherwise purport to act in the name of the other party.
18.3 The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this
Agreement, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any provisions hereof.18.4 The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of any other provision or provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain
in full force and effect.
18.5 The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed the language chosen by the parties hereto to
express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either party.
Whenever required by the context, any gender shall include any other gender, the singular shall include
the plural and the plural shall include the singular.
18.6 Each Party shall, at its sole cost and expense, execute, or use reasonable endeavors to ensure the
execution of, any further documents that the other Party reasonably requires from time-to-time for the
purpose of giving such Party the full benefit of the provisions of this Agreement.
18.7 This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but
both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
