10. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Dispute Resolution.

• 10.1 These Terms 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 must be resolved through confidential binding arbitration as described herein. However, no action arising out of these Terms, regardless of the form or basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one year after the claim has arisen (or, if multiple claims, from the date the first such claim arose) 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 Website.
  

• 10.2 YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
  
  
• 10.3 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.
  
  
• 10.4 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 applicable law. 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.
  
  
• 10.5 Notwithstanding these terms to arbitrate, we may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and you hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Los Angeles, California for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
  
  
• 10.6 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.
  

11. Miscellaneous.  These Terms and any supplemental terms, updates, policies, rules and guidelines posted on the Website constitute the entire agreement between you and us and supersede all previous written or oral agreements. These Terms cannot be amended or changed orally. If any part of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.  Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision under these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision, or any other in the future. We may assign this contract at any time without notice to you. You may not assign this contract to anyone else. These Terms shall not be deemed to create an agency, partnership, employment or joint-venture relationship between you and us. The section headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of these Terms, and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any provisions hereof.
