16. Dispute Resolution and Governing Law.
A. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and AVC agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. AVC will send its notice to the email address you have provided to us. You will send your notice to Advanced Video Communications, Inc., 633 W. 5th Street, Suite 6800, Los Angeles, California 90071, ATTN: Legal Department.
B. Binding Arbitration. If you and AVC are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or AVC may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT 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. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, AVC will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. 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 a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and AVC may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
C. Restrictions. You and AVC agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between AVC and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) 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.
D. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and AVC agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of any of your or AVC’s intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
E. Location. If you are a resident of the United States, any arbitration will take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. For residents outside the United States, any arbitration shall be initiated in the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and AVC agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
F. Forum Non Conveniens. With regard to any Dispute not subject to arbitration, or where no election to arbitrate has been made, You and AVC waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any objection had now or later, to the laying of venue of any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought in any court of the State of California sitting in Los Angeles, or the United States District Court for the Second District of California, and (i) any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
G. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. WITH REGARD TO ANY DISPUTE NOT SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION , OR WHERE NO ELECTION TO ARBITRATE HAS BEEN MADE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND AVC KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RERLATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS IT CONTEMPLATES. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION OR LEGAL PROCEEDING, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE.
H. Governing Law. The services are controlled and operated by AVC from its offices in the United States of America, State of California. AVC makes no representation that the services are available or appropriate for use in other locations. Your use of or access to the services should not be construed as AVC purposefully availing itself of the benefits or privilege of doing business in any state or jurisdiction other than California. Except as expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement shall be governed by, and will be construed under, the Laws of the United States of America and the law of the State of California, without regard to choice of law principles. Those who choose to access the Services from locations outside of the United States, do so on their own initiative contrary to the terms of this Agreement, and are responsible for compliance with local laws if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
I. Severability. You and AVC agree that if any portion of Section 16 is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 16(D)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 16(D) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor AVC will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 16(D) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and AVC agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
17. GENERAL RELEASE.
IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN ONE OR MORE USERS OF THE SERVICES, EACH OF YOU RELEASE AVC AND ITS AFFILIATES (AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES AND EMPLOYEES) FROM CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES.
