We each understand that either of us would have had a right or opportunity to litigate disputes through a court and to have a judge or jury decide their case, but we are instead voluntarily choosing to have any disputes resolved through binding arbitration.

(C) We each agree that any claim or dispute between us, and any claim by either of us against any agent, employee, successor, or assign of the other, including, to the full extent permitted by applicable law, third parties who are not signatories to this agreement, whether related to this agreement or otherwise, including past, present, and future claims and disputes, and including any dispute as to the validity or applicability of this arbitration clause, shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the JAMS under its rules and procedures in effect when the claim is filed. The rules and procedures and other information, including information on fees, may be obtained from JAMS’ website (www.jamsadr.com) or by calling JAMS at 949-224-1810.

(D) We are entering into this arbitration agreement in connection with a transaction involving interstate commerce. Accordingly, this arbitration agreement and any proceedings thereunder shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. Any award by the arbitrator(s) may be entered as a judgment in any court having jurisdiction.

(E) Exception to Arbitrate. We each agree as follows: (i) either of us may bring qualifying claims in small claims court; (ii) to the extent state law permits either of us to seek injunctive or other equitable relief outside of arbitration, we each agree that such actions will be brought exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California or state court located in Los Angeles. we each consent and submit to the personal jurisdictions of these courts; and (iii) as set forth below, we each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and Our Party, not as part of a classwide claim. If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and we each agree to resolve the dispute in court.

11. NO CLASS ACTIONS

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.
