8.7 Governing Law/Resolution Of Disputes/Waiver Of Injunctive Relief
(a) These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the United States and the State of California without regard to conflict of laws provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), You agree not to commence or prosecute any action other than in the state court of San Francisco County, California, and federal court located in San Francisco County, California, and You hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state court located in San Francisco County, California, and federal court located in San Francisco County, California.
(b) Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to these Terms (“Dispute”), You and Ignite Prism agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send Your notice to Ignite Prism, Inc. 261 N HWY 101, Suite 1110, Solana Beach, CA 992075, ATTENTION: LEGAL DEPARTMENT.
(c) Binding Arbitration. If You and Ignite Prism are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either You or Ignite Prism may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and Your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, Ignite Prism will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, You and Ignite Prism may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
(d) Restrictions. You and Ignite Prism agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Ignite Prism and You individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration will be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
(e) Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Ignite Prism agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of Your or Ignite Prism’s Intellectual Property Rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for injunctive relief.
8.8 Waiver/Severability.
The failure of Ignite Prism to require or enforce strict performance by You of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right under them will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Ignite Prism’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance.
8.9 US Based.
Ignite Prism operates and controls the Services from its offices in the United States. We make no representation that the Services are appropriate or available in other locations. The parties specifically disclaim application of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
8.10 No Third party Beneficiaries.
These Terms are between You and Ignite Prism. No third party has any rights to force Ignite Prism to enforce any rights it may have against any You or any other third party.
8.11
You hereby waive any and all defenses You may have based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms.
