15. Governing Law and Forum Choice.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 16 “Dispute Resolution for Individuals” or Section 17 “Dispute Resolution for Entities” (as applicable), the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Eddi are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California, and you and Eddi each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

16. Dispute Resolution for Individuals.

If you are an individual who uses the Services for yourself or your Child User and not on behalf of an organization or entity, disputes with Eddi shall be resolved as set forth in this Section 16.(a) Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Eddi agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Eddi are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.(b) Exceptions. As limited exceptions to Section 16(a) above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or Policies(c) Misappropriation Of Our Intellectual Property Rights.(d) Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Consumer Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Consumer Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.

The arbitration will be conducted using remote conferencing technology (e.g., by videoconference), in person in San Francisco, California, United States or at some other location that we both agree to. Disputes that meet the requirements for desk arbitrations as set forth in the AAA Consumer Rules, may be resolved by the submission of documents only, as set forth in the AAA Consumer Rules, unless the Arbitrator decides that a hearing is necessary. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.(e) Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won’t seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.(f) Injunctive and Declaratory Relief. Except as provided in Section 16(b) above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.(g) Class Action Waiver. YOU AND Eddi AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.(h) Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 16(f) of these Terms (“Class Action Waiver”), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.

17. Dispute Resolution for Entities.

If you are accessing and using the Services on behalf of a company or other legal entity, any Dispute will be resolved exclusively accordingly to the process set forth in Section 16, expressly including the class action waiver, except that, to the extent legally permitted, (a) each party will be responsible for their own filing, administrative, arbitrative and similar fees, (b) the losing party will pay the prevailing party for all costs and attorney’s fees, and (c) the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply to any arbitration between us.

Except where provided by applicable law in your jurisdiction, you may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without Eddi’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms absent our consent or your statutory right, without such consent, will be null. Eddi may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.(c) Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by Eddi under these Terms will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.(d) Waiver of Rights. Eddi’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Eddi. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
