These
Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect while you use the
Site. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS OF USE, WE
RESERVE THE RIGHT TO, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION AND WITHOUT NOTICE OR
LIABILITY, DENY ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITE (INCLUDING BLOCKING

accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to

Binding Arbitration
If
the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded
below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO
SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced
and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer
Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website: www.adr.org.
Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall
be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by
the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person,
through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator
will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of
reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow
applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails
to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or
applicable law, the arbitration will take place in San Diego County, California.
Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court
to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to
confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the
arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in California,
and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of
personal jurisdiction, and forum non conveniens with respect to venue
and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts.
Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
International Sale of Goods and the the Uniform Computer Information
Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use.
In
no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way
to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of
action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable,
then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within
that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and
such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction
within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree
to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
The
Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute
between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law,
(a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there
is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a
class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there
is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported
representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other
persons.
The
Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above
provisions concerning binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to
enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the
intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or
arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or
unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this
provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party
will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this
provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be
decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed
for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of that court.

understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any
right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not operate as a waiver

unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed
severable from these Terms of Use and does not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture,
