(a) Any and all Claims between you and us arising out of, connected with, or related to these Terms of Use including without limitation, those relating to the arbitrability of these Terms of Use and the enforceability of this arbitration provision, will be brought for exclusive adjudication in our Discretion either: in the Federal or State Courts located in Los Angeles County, California, or for binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator by JAMS or another alternative dispute resolution entity of our Discretion (“AE”) located in Los Angeles County, California, subject to the rules of that AE as of the date of that Claim’s submission to that AE, and further subject to the California Code of Civil Procedure sections relating to arbitration or alternative dispute resolution, as applicable.

The two (2) chosen arbitrators will then together choose the sole arbitrator as soon thereafter as practicable. Should either you or we fail to choose an arbitrator within the thirty (30) days, then the other party has the sole right to choose the sole arbitrator. Judgment upon any award by the arbitrator may in our Discretion be entered in any California court having jurisdiction of it. This arbitration provision remains in full force and effect notwithstanding the nature of any Claim or defense to it. You and we both waive any claim that the courts or an AE in Los Angeles County, California doesn’t have jurisdiction or are an inconvenient forum. Any legal process in a Claim may, in addition to personal service, be served by a party as provided for in paragraph 18 below, and has the same force and effect as personal service within California. In the event of any Claim, the prevailing party will be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs from the non-prevailing party. The court or arbitrator, as applicable, will determine who the prevailing party is, whether or not the Claim proceeds to final adjudication. The attorneys' fees award will not be computed in accordance with any court or AE fee schedule, but so as to fully reimburse all attorneys' fees reasonably incurred.
(b) Nothing in this paragraph 16 is a waiver of any of our Remedies, or precludes us from either instituting a Claim in any jurisdiction or from joining you in a Claim brought by a Person against us in any jurisdiction, although our failure to join you in any Claim in one instance isn’t a waiver of any of our rights with respect to that Claim or any subsequent Claim brought by a Person against us.
(c) A printed version of the current version of these Terms of Use is admissible in any proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use, to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
