17. Legal Disputes and Arbitration Agreement

Please Read This Following Clause Carefully – It May Significantly Affect Your Legal Rights, Including Your Right to File a Lawsuit in Court

A. Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at AmericanNinjaWarriorCasting@Gmail.com to address any concerns you may have regarding your use of the Service. Most concerns may be quickly resolved in this manner. Each of you and the Company agree to use best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation and good faith negotiations which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

B. Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If we do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to section 18(A) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including its formation, performance and breach) and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered on a confidential basis by JAMS in accordance with the provisions of the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or subsequent versions of those rules, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.

The JAMS rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at http://www.jamsadr.com/ or by calling the JAMS at 1.800.352.5267. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, we will pay the additional cost. A request for payment of fees should be submitted to JAMS along with your form for initiating the arbitration, and we will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to JAMS. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all of the actual filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration, provided your claim does not exceed $75,000. The arbitration rules also permit you to recover attorney’s fees in certain circumstances.

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

C. Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. You and the Company each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in your respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and you and the Company each expressly waive your respective right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 18(B) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

D. Exception - Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

E. 30 Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in Sections 18(B), 18(C), and18(D) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: 4130 Cahuenga Blvd, Toluca Lake, CA 91602 Attn: ANW Casting or by fax to 805-435-2599. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of registering to use the Service, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

F. Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 18(B) do not apply, the parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside). The parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in California for any litigation other than small claims court actions.

G. Applicable Law. You agree that federal laws and the laws of the State of California, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and the Company.

H. Statute of Limitations. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or this Agreement must be filed within six (6) months after the applicable claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

19. Severability. In the event that any provision (or any part of an applicable provision) of these terms is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the applicable provision (or part) will be severed and: (A) it shall be deemed replaced by an alternative provision (or part) which approximates as closely as lawfully possible in terms of substance and effect the provision or part severed; and (B) the remainder of these terms shall continue in full force and effect.

20. No Waiver. If you breach this Agreement and the Company does not take action against you, the Company will still be entitled to enforce its rights against you in relation to that breach subsequently and to use the Company’s rights and remedies in any other situation where you breach this Agreement.

21. Remedies. In no event may you terminate the rights granted hereunder, and you agree that you shall not be entitled to obtain injunctive relief or other equitable relief with respect to the rights granted hereunder.

22. Assignment. You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be free to sell, assign, license, mortgage, encumber or otherwise transfer this Agreement and/or any or all of its rights hereunder, and/or to delegate any or all of its duties hereunder at any time and from time to time to any person or entity. You are not permitted to assign any of the rights granted to you pursuant to this Agreement or delegate any or your obligations pursuant to this Agreement to any person or entity.
