13.4 ARBITRATION.
a. You agree that: (i) Company, the Website, the Services and all other parts of the System shall be deemed solely based in the state of California; (ii) this Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the state of California and the federal laws of the United States without regard to any principals of conflicts of Law which might cause the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction; and (iii) all civil claims for monetary damages and disputes relating in any way to the performance, interpretation, validity, default under or breach of this Terms of Use and which you and Company are unable or unwilling to resolve through good faith mediation or negotiation, (excepting however any claim or action for an injunction or other equitable relief to protect Confidential Information or to enforce Intellectual Property Rights) shall be referred to final and binding arbitration, before a single neutral arbitrator, under the then current commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in San Mateo County, California.
b. The arbitrator shall be a retired judge of the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for San Mateo County California (or have such other or additional qualifications as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties to the arbitration) and shall be selected from the AAA Panel list in accordance with the appointment rules of the AAA. Consistent with the expedited nature of arbitration, each party will upon the written request of any other party, promptly provide the other with copies of documents relevant to the issues raised by any claim or counterclaim on which the producing party may rely in support of or in opposition to any claim or defense. Any dispute regarding discovery, or the relevance or scope thereof, shall be determined by the arbitrator, which determination shall be conclusive.
c. In no event shall any party be entitled to punitive damages in any arbitration or judicial proceeding and you hereby waive your rights to any punitive damages. In the event the arbitrator or a court concludes that the punitive damages waiver contained in the previous sentence is unenforceable, then you agree that the court with subject matter jurisdiction over the confirmation of the award shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine issues of entitlement and amount of punitive damages. The arbitrator shall NOT have subject matter jurisdiction to decide any issues relating to the statute of limitations or to any request for injunctive or other equitable relief (and nothing herein is intended to nor may be construed or operate to prevent any party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction), and you hereby stipulate to stay the arbitration proceeding (without the need of a bond) until any such issues in dispute are resolved.
d. Each party shall bear its own expenses associated with the arbitration; the parties shall equally share the filing and other administrative fees of the AAA and the expenses of the arbitrator.
e. Both during and after the entire arbitration process as contemplated herein, the arbitration itself and all information and discovery disclosed in the arbitration process (“Arbitration Information”) shall be maintained in strictest confidence by the parties and their counsel and by the authorized Persons to whom Arbitration Information is disclosed. Arbitration Information may be used, possessed and disclosed only as allowed in this Agreement and only for the purposes of arbitration and related proceedings pursuant to this Agreement, and for no other purpose whatsoever. Accordingly, without limitation, arbitration information may not be disclosed (i) to any judicial, governmental, regulatory, administrative, arbitral, corporate or other entity not administering arbitration under this Agreement; (ii) to any member of the general public; or (iii) to the media; provided however that arbitration information may be disclosed to (A) the arbitration parties and their respective advisors, consultants and experts (and such person’s authorized employees and agents); (B) the arbitrator and arbitration administrator (and their authorized staffs); (C) fact witnesses reasonably expected to offer relevant evidence in an arbitration proceeding; and (D) as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall, upon request, issue all prescriptive orders as may be required to enforce and maintain this covenant of confidentiality during the course of the arbitration and after the conclusion of same so that the result and underlying data, information, materials, and other evidence are forever withheld from public dissemination with the exception of a subpoena by a court of competent jurisdiction in an unrelated proceeding brought by a third party.
f. In the event that a dispute arises and the arbitration provisions herein become inapplicable or unenforceable, or in any instance of any lawsuit between you and us, jurisdiction over and venue of any suit shall be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in San Mateo County, California.
