Customer and FixYourName further agree to waive any right they may have to seek a change of venue based on inconvenience of California, or otherwise.
7.6 WAIVER OF JUDGE/JURY TRIAL AND ARBITRATION. Customer and FixYourName agree that, in the event that any dispute, claim, controversy or cause of action (collectively “Disputes”) arises out of or relates to any provision of this Agreement or the breach, performance or validity or invalidity thereof, Customer and FixYourName each knowingly and voluntarily agree to submit and settle all such Disputes through binding arbitration. The arbitration proceeding shall be instituted by making a written demand for arbitration to either ADR Services (Century City) or JAMS (Los Angeles or Santa Monica), demand to be made by registered letter, return receipt requested, with a copy of the demand to the other party. The failure to institute an arbitration proceeding as set forth above within the applicable statute of limitations period shall constitute an absolute bar to bring any proceedings concerning any Disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles County, the State of California, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitration shall be administered by a single arbitrator which shall be from the ADR Services or the JAMS panel of arbitrators, selected by the mutual written Agreement of FixYourName and Customer. FixYourName and Customer each further agree that the initiation of any hearings to obtain any form of pre-judgment remedy shall not operate as a waiver of the parties right to submit and settle any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement to arbitration. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ and experts’ fees and all costs and necessary disbursements actually incurred. If any party unsuccessfully resists arbitration under this Agreement or the confirmation or enforcement of an arbitration award rendered under this Agreement, then all costs, attorneys’ fees, and expenses incurred by the other party or parties in compelling arbitration or confirming or enforcing the award shall be fully assessed against and paid by the other party resisting arbitration and/or confirmation or enforcement of the award. If for any Disputes to which this paragraph applies, any party (i) commences a civil action without first attempting to resolve the matter through arbitration, or (ii) before commencement of an action, refuses to arbitrate after a request has been made, then that party shall not be entitled to recover attorney fees, even if they would otherwise be available to that party in either a civil action or arbitration. However, as stated above, a party may seek pre-judgment remedies only in a civil action as long as the Dispute is resolved through arbitration and to the extent such party is the prevailing party in such Arbitration, it shall be entitled to recover it legal fees, costs and expenses in pursuing such pre-judgment remedies. By agreeing to arbitration, Customer and FixYourName hereby each knowingly and voluntarily waive their respective constitutional rights to trial by judge or jury, as well as rights to appeal. Customer and FixYourName further agree that all Disputes shall be brought in the party’s individual capacity and not as a class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Furthermore, Customer and FixYourName agree the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s Claims or Disputes and may not otherwise preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. Customer and FixYourName agree that the arbitrator will determine any and all disputes arising out of or relating to any breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation of this Agreement, as well as the scope, applicability and validity of this arbitration agreement, including any allegations that the Arbitration Agreement is unconscionable or unenforceable in any way, or manner. Customer and FixYourName agree that Arbitration proceedings shall be kept in strictest confidence. Customer and FixYourName each Know that this waiver is a material inducement to entering into this Agreement; that Customer and FixYourName have already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement; and that Customer and FixYourName will continue to rely on this waiver in any related future dealings between FixYourName and Customer.
7.7 Customer and FixYourName each further agree that all Disputes arising from or relating to this Agreement, or any other present or future Agreement, or any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or relating hereto or thereto, or any other matter, cause or thing whatsoever, occurred, done, omitted or suffered to be done by Customer relating in any way to FixYourName, or FixYourName to Customer, shall be barred unless commenced within one (1) year from the date of the first act, occurrence or omission upon which such Disputes or any part thereof is based. Customer and FixYourName agree that such one (1) year period provided herein shall not be waived, tolled, or extended except by the written consent of the other. Customer Knows that, but for this waiver, he or she or it might have a longer time period to initiate a claim under state or federal law. This provision shall survive any termination, however arising, of this Agreement and any other present or future Agreement.
8. WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION. By entering into this Agreement, Customer hereby irrevocably waives any right Customer may have to join claims with those of others in the form of a class action or similar procedural device. Any claims arising out of, relating to, or connected with the Products, Services, Transactions, Customer’s Information, or this Agreement must be exclusively asserted individually.
9. SEVERABILITY. The terms and provisions in this Agreement are severable. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, then that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will continue exclusively, in full force, and effect.
10. FAILURE OR DELAY NOT A WAIVER. No failure or delay by FixYourName in exercising any of its rights, powers, or remedies under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy. No waiver or modification of any term of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
11. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and delivered electronically or by facsimile transmission, each copy of which will be deemed an original and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one and the same instrument.
