Notwithstanding the foregoing, you hereby agree that any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or your use of the Site and/or any information, products, Materials or Services you obtain from us requires that such claim be resolved exclusively by confidential binding arbitration, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California. The arbitration shall be conducted before three neutral arbitrators in San Francisco, California, U.S.A., in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as then in effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. Except for punitive and consequential damages (which may not be awarded), and subject to these Terms, the arbitrators shall be authorized to award either party any provisional or equitable remedy permitted by applicable law.

THE ARBITRATORS’ DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. OTHER RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE IF SUCH PARTY WENT TO COURT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL, MAY BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Each party hereby consents (i) to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, CA for any action (a) to compel arbitration, (b) to enforce any award of the arbitrators, (c) at any time prior to the qualification and appointment of the arbitrators, for temporary, interim or provisional equitable remedies, or (d) to enforce our intellectual property rights, and (ii) to service of process in any such action by registered mail or any other means provided by law. Should this section be deemed invalid or otherwise unenforceable for any reason, it shall be severed and the parties agree that sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any claims will be in the state or federal courts in San Francisco County, CA.
If any provision hereof is declared invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity, so that the remainder of that provision and all remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. No waiver by us of any term or condition set forth herein shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of us to assert a right or provision shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
We will make changes to these Terms from time to time. The date that these Terms were last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring that you periodically visit the Site and these Terms to check for any changes.
