You shall not settle any such claim without the written consent of the applicable Indemnified Party.
12. Dispute resolution; Binding arbitration.
a. Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Lightcraft mutually agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Software, or your use of the Software (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify and remain in such court, and (ii) either party may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights (including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets). This Agreement to Arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted.
b. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate. Arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”), which are available at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Unless you and Lightcraft agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in Los Angeles County, California. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available under applicable law, the JAMS Rules, and this Agreement. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Lightcraft.
c. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Lightcraft will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. If the arbitrator determines that the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all such fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules and you agree to reimburse Lightcraft for all monies it has paid that are your obligation to pay under the JAMS Rules.
d. CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. YOU AND LIGHTCRAFT AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF THIS CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID, AND THE DISPUTE SHALL PROCEED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. YOU AND LIGHTCRAFT EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
e. 30-Day Opt-Out Right. You have the right to opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to legal@lightcraft.pro within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Agreement to Arbitrate. Your notice must include your name and address, your username (if any), the email address you used to set up your account (if any), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate. If you opt out of this Agreement to Arbitrate, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Agreement to Arbitrate has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter into in the future, with Lightcraft.
f. Survival. This Agreement to Arbitrate will survive the termination of your relationship with Lightcraft.
13. Electronic communications. By downloading or using the Software, you consent to receiving electronic communications from Lightcraft. These electronic communications may include notices about applicable fees and charges, transactional information and other information concerning or related to the Software. These electronic communications are part of your relationship with Lightcraft and you receive them as part of your use of the Software. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures or other communications that Lightcraft sends you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
14. Notice to California residents. If you are a California resident, under California Civil Code Section 1789.3, you may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs in writing at 1625 N. Market Blvd., Suite S-202, Sacramento, California 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210 in order to resolve a complaint regarding the Software or to receive further information regarding use of the Software.
15. Time limitation on claims. You agree that any claim you may have arising out of or related to your relationship with Lightcraft or the Software must be filed within one (1) year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
16. General. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its rules on conflicts or choice of law. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole agreement between you and Lightcraft for your use and the provision of the Software and the subject matter hereof, and no representations, statements or inducements, oral or written, not contained in this Agreement shall bind either you or Lightcraft. Any of the terms of this Agreement which are determined to be invalid or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability, without rendering invalid or unenforceable any of the remaining terms of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of the Agreement as a whole. Failure to insist on performance of any of the terms of the Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default. No waiver by Lightcraft of any right under this Agreement will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time. You may not assign, transfer or delegate your rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each of the parties and the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns. A printed version of this Agreement and of any related notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
