Dispute Resolution
Binding Arbitration
The sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for resolving any controversy or claim
arising out of or relating to the TOU or the Service, including, without limitation,
any dispute with respect to this arbitration provision, any claim in tort, or any
claim for violation of any federal, state or local statute, or ordinance or regulation
(collectively, “Disputes”), shall be through confidential binding arbitration
in Los Angeles County, California. The arbitration shall be conducted by JAMS/Endispute
(“JAMS”), whose rules applicable to such disputes shall be in force,
and judgment or the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by any court
having jurisdiction thereof. There shall be one arbitrator to be mutually selected
by the parties, and if the parties cannot so select, the arbitrator shall be appointed
by JAMS. The fees of the arbitrator, administrative fees, and the other fees and
costs of the arbitration, including, but not limited to, the cost of any record
or transcripts of the arbitration, shall be advanced by the parties to the arbitration
in equal portions, and, in addition thereto, each such party shall advance the fees
of its own attorneys, the expenses of its witnesses and all other expenses connected
with presenting its case. THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY
IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ARBITRABLE CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM.

by confidential binding arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree
that no other Disputes shall be consolidated or joined with your Dispute, whether
through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise (“Class Arbitration”).

the authority to conduct Class Arbitration and that such arbitrator shall only hear
individual Disputes. By using the Site and the Service, you acknowledge that you

should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in
the provision, and the other provisions of these TOU remain in full force and effect.
