(a) IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE WEBSITE, THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, ENFORCEMENT, INTERPRETATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF, INCLUDING THE DETERMINATION OF THE SCOPE OR APPLICABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, SHALL BE SOLELY DETERMINED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, OR IN THE COUNTY IN WHICH YOU RESIDE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FOR AGREEMENTS TO BE MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN CALIFORNIA, OR UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE CLIENT RESIDES FOR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS.

(b) ANY CLAIMANT UNDER THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST FIRST SUBMIT TO THE OTHER PARTY A WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE CLAIMANT’S CLAIM AGAINST OR DISPUTE WITH THE OTHER PARTY, SUCH NOTICE MUST INCLUDE ANY EXPLANATION OF THE CLAIM AND A STATEMENT OF THE CLAIMANT’S REQUEST FOR RESOLUTION. THE PARTY RECEIVING THE CLAIM OR DISPUTE SHALL THEN BE ENTITLED TO A PERIOD OF SIXTY (60) DAYS TO CURE SUCH CLAIM OR DISPUTE. IF THE PARTIES ARE UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE CLAIM OR DISPUTE WITHIN SUCH 60-DAY PERIOD, THEN THE CLAIM OR DISPUTE SHALL BE SOLELY RESOLVED, ON AN INDIVIDUAL, NON-CLASS BASIS, BY BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A SINGLE ARBITRATOR. PRIOR TO THE CLAIMANT COMMENCING ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES SHALL MUTUALLY AGREE UPON THE ARBITRAL INSTITUTION THAT WILL ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION. IN THE EVENT THAT NO ARBITRAL INSTITUTION CAN BE AGREED UPON, THEN THE PARTIES AGREE TO USE JAMS. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED PURSUANT TO THE MUTUALLY AGREED ARBITRAL INSTITUTION’S RULE AND PROCEDURES AND A SINGLE ARBITRATOR WILL BE SELECTED THEREFROM.

(c) THE ARBITRATOR SHALL BE NEUTRAL AND INDEPENDENT, LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN THE JURISDICTION WHERE THE ARBITRATION IS TAKING PLACE AND SHALL COMPLY WITH THE ARBITRAL INSTITUTION’S CODE OF ETHICS AND HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE DISPUTE. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO GRANT ANY REMEDY OR RELIEF THAT THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS JUST AND EQUITABLE AND WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES PROVIDED IT IS INDIVIDUAL IN NATURE AND ALLOWABLE WITHIN RELEVANT STATE LAW. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL ISSUE A REASONED AWARD FOLLOWING THE APPLICABLE LAW AND SUCH AWARD SHALL BE FINAL AND SHALL NOT BE SUBJECT TO VACATION OR MODIFICATION. THE AWARD AND THE RECORD IN ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONFIDENTIAL, EXCEPT THAT JUDGMENT ON THE AWARD MADE BY THE ARBITRATOR MAY BE ENTERED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES. IF EITHER PARTY FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE ARBITRATOR’S WARD, THE PREVAILING PARTY MAY PETITION THE COURT FOR ENFORCEMENT. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OF MORE THAN ON PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDINGS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THE COST OF ARBITRATION INCLUDING, ATTORNEY’S FEES, SEPARATELY. IF THE ARBITRATOR DETERMINES THAT A PARTY HAS GENERALLY PREVAILED IN THE ARBITRATION PRECEDING, THEN THE ARBITRATOR SHALL AWARD TO THAT PARTY ITS REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND LEGAL COSTS. IN THE EVENT A PARTY FAILS TO PROCEED WITH ARBITRATION OR UNSUCCESSFULLY CHALLENGES THE ARBITRATOR’S AWARD, THE OTHER PARTY IS ENTITLED TO COSTS OR FUIT, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEE FOR HAVING TO COMPEL ARBITRATION OR DEFEND OR ENFORCE THE AWARD. THIS SECTION AND THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS OF USE OR USE OF THE WEBSITE.

(d) SHOULD ANY PROVISION OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT – EXCEPTING THE REQUIREMENT THAT ARBITRATION PROCEED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY – BE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE, IT SHALL BE DEEMED SEVERABLE AND THE REMAINDER OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT SHALL BE ENFORCED.
