or other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the Site, resulting
in interruptions, delays, or errors. We
reserve the right to change, revise, update, suspend, discontinue, or otherwise

These Terms of Use and your use of the
Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of
the State of
California
applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within

To
expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or
claim related to these Terms of Use (each "Dispute" and collectively,
the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and
collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to
negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below)
informally for at least
thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal
negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other
Party.
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 through 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 Francisco
,
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
San Francisco,
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 Uniform Computer Information
Transaction Act (UCITA) is 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.
Exceptions to Informal
Negotiations and Arbitration
The
Parties agree that the following Disputes are not
subject to the above provisions concerning informal
negotiations and 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.
There may be

omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other
