Legal Claims.

Dispute Resolution. Customer service is important to us, so we ask that you first try to resolve your dispute by contacting us. If we cannot informally resolve your dispute within a thirty (30) day period, you agree that all disputes between you and SFK arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach) will be resolved as provided in this Section.

Disputes in the United States and Non-European Member States.

Arbitration. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of any SFK Content and Services, or to any User Content through SFK’s Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, and the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and U.S. federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. You understand that YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY, to assert or defend any claims between you and SFK (except for matters brought in small claims court or entitled to equitable relief as described below) BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction over the parties. Any provision of applicable law notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with this Agreement.

The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administrate the arbitration in accordance with its rules. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. The arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator, as agreed on by you and SFK (and if you and SFK cannot agree within twenty (20) days, appointed in accordance with the American Arbitration Associations’ Rules). The arbitrator shall be a disinterested attorney or retired judge experienced in e-commerce and/or intellectual property matters. Such arbitration shall include discovery proceedings as provided under Section 1283.05 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language, but any witness whose native language is not English may give testimony in the witness’ native language, with simultaneous translation into English at the expense of the party presenting the witness. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in the city of Los Angeles, in Los Angeles County, in the State of California, USA.

Small Claims Action. If your claim meets the requirements to file a small claims action, you may file your claim in the small claims court in the city where you reside. To the extent state law applies, California law shall govern without regard to or application of the conflict of law provisions of your state or country of residence.

Equitable Relief. You acknowledge and agree that a breach or threatened breach by you of any of your obligations under Section 5 would cause SFK irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agree that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, SFK will be entitled to equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

Attorney Fees. In any arbitration or court action between the parties to enforce this Agreement or the rights of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in such action (as determined by the arbitral panel or court) will be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorney’s fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit.

No Class Action. You agree to give up your right to participate in a class action or class proceeding, including class arbitration, limited attorney general action, or other representative action or proceeding.
