DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW
- Timing.You agree that any dispute, controversy, claim or cause of action related to or arising out of your relationship with INTOO or your use of the Service or Site (a “Dispute”) must commence within ONE year after the cause of action for such Dispute accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
- Binding Arbitration.You agree that any Dispute shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration 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 that the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, INTOO will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in the Terms of Service, you and INTOO may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. In any action to enforce this Terms of Service, the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys’ fees.
- Restrictions.You and INTOO agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between INTOO and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
- Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration.You and INTOO agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or INTOO's intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
- Location.This Terms of Service is governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of California, United States of America, notwithstanding any principles of conflicts of law. Any arbitration shall be initiated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and INTOO agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
