GOVERNING LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

The laws of the State of California, U.S.A., excluding California’s conflict of laws rules, will apply to any disputes relating to this Agreement. You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in connection with any such dispute.  The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator and will be held at the AAA location in Los Angeles or Orange County, California, in our discretion.  Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this paragraph.  In the event you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.  The arbitration before the AAA shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others.  You agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, any claims for punitive damages. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims between you and us alone.  Claims may not be joined on consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties.  No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.  If you initiate a litigation or any other proceeding against us in violation of this paragraph, you agree to pay our reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with our enforcement of this paragraph.

Any dispute must be filed within one (1) year of the time that the claim forming the basis of such dispute arises, otherwise your claim will be barred forever.

MISCELLANEOUS

If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held unenforceable, then those provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary to allow the remainder of this Agreement to retain their full force and effect. Headings are for reference purposes only. This Agreement, including these Terms, and any relevant Additional Terms that you have agreed to be bound by, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vindico with respect to the Vindico Services.

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you of any part of the Agreement does not waive any rights we may have, including the right to act in the future.

You agree that information related to your use of the Vindico Services may be subject to legal process. Information and data that you submit to Vindico through the Vindico Services may be subject to legal process, even if that information has been deleted and only exists in backup form. You acknowledge and understand that Vindico will comply with all applicable legal obligations in making such information available. You acknowledge and agree that, unless required by law, Vindico has no obligation to give you notice of any legal process that may result in any information related to your use of the Vindico Services being produced, discovered or otherwise disclosed.

No joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Vindico as a result of these Terms or your use of the Site.
