Disputes; Applicable Law; Notices

You agree that the arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles County, California.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, You must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing Your claim to the attention of our General Counsel at the address in this Agreement.

We also both agree that You or We may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO ANY DEFENSE BASED ON PERSONAL JURISDICTION, VENUE OR AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO BE A MEMBER OF A CLASS, IN ANY ACTION INVOLVING ANY DISPUTE WITH US.
