You may learn more about the American Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this arbitration agreement concerns a transaction in interstate or international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply. To the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, the filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and Company, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the American Arbitration Association, at which point Company will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. Company waives its right to recover attorneys’ fees in connection with any arbitration under these Terms. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees as the arbitrator may determine. Any dispute relating to these Terms and Conditions will be governed by the applicable federal and state laws of the State of California, USA, without regard to conflict of laws provisions. The place of arbitration will be Los Angeles County, California, or your county of residence (if in the United States), as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, you may not disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this arbitration agreement without the prior written consent of the Company.
TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. COMPANY AND YOU AGREE THAT NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ANY SUCH ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING.
