CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE
The laws of the state of California shall govern the construction and interpretation of this Agreement and shall apply to any disputes arising from it to the extent permitted by applicable law, regardless of conflict of laws principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions below, you and Intertrust hereby agree to submit exclusively to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts with jurisdiction over Santa Clara County, California and/or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
- Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. You and Intertrust agree that any Disputes (defined below) will be settled by binding arbitration instead of litigating the Dispute in court. Arbitration means that Disputes will be heard and decided by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. You and Intertrust also agree that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitrability of all Disputes between you and Intertrust, and the interpretation and enforcement of this section. The term “Dispute” means any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Intertrust arising out of or relating to these Terms or your accessing or use of the Site, whether based in contract, law, equity, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, or negligence), including, without limitation, any dispute, claim or controversy concerning the validity, enforceability, or scope of these Terms; provided, however, that “Dispute” does not mean or include any action: (1) filed by you or by Intertrust in small claims court; (2) brought by Intertrust regarding its intellectual property rights; (3) brought by Intertrust against an individual or entity that engaged in unauthorized use or receipt of Intertrust products, services or unauthorized access to Intertrust systems, facilities, products, or services; or (4) the validity, enforceability or scope of this arbitration provision.
- Individual Arbitration Actions Only; Class Action Waiver. BOTH YOU AND INTERTRUST WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO BRING OR RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION. BOTH YOU AND INTERTRUST WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION RELATED TO ANY DISPUTE THAT IS BROUGHT BY ANYONE ELSE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION IN THE AAA RULES (DEFINED BELOW) TO THE CONTRARY, THE ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY OR ANY JURISDICTION TO HEAR THE ARBITRATION AS A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, COLLECTIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN, OR OTHERWISE COMBINE THE CLAIMS OF DIFFERENT PERSONS INTO ONE PROCEEDING.
- Arbitration Rules, Jurisdiction and Venue. The arbitration will take place in the United States in the county of Santa Clara, California. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as superseded by these Terms. These Terms govern in the event they conflict with the AAA Rules. Unless you, Intertrust or the arbitrator requests a hearing, the parties will submit their arguments and evidence to the arbitrator in writing. The arbitrator will make an award based only on the documents. This is called a Desk Arbitration. If any party makes a written request for a hearing within ten days after the American Arbitration Association acknowledges receipt of a claimant’s demand for arbitration (or the arbitrator requests a hearing), the parties shall participate in a telephonic hearing. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. The arbitrator will make any award in writing (“Arbitration Award”) but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The Arbitration Award shall be judicially enforceable. Any court of competent jurisdiction may, and upon request shall, enter judgment on the Arbitration Award. Either party may seek confirmation (judgment on the award) and/or enforcement in any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Severability of Dispute Resolution Provision. If any clause within this Dispute Resolution provision (other than subsection (b), “Individual Arbitration Actions Only; Class Action Waiver,“ above) is found to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Dispute Resolution provision, and the remainder of this Dispute Resolution provision will be given full force and effect. If subsection (b) of this Dispute Resolution Provision is found to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the arbitration requirements of this Dispute Resolution provision will be void in their entirety, the Dispute at issue will be decided by a court, and, in any such instance, you and Intertrust hereby each waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
