17. Arbitration; Consent to Jurisdiction In California; Attorneys’ Fees; Time Period Limitation for Claims; Waiver of Class and Representative Actions
a. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof (including as to the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate) (“Dispute”) will be determined by arbitration in accordance with the procedures in this paragraph, which will be the sole procedures for the resolution of any Dispute. Any Dispute will be submitted to final and binding arbitration with the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) in Los Angeles, California. The arbitration will be conducted pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, except as may be otherwise stated herein, before a neutral arbitrator appointed according to the Rules. The remedies available to the parties under applicable law remain available to the parties in arbitration. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm the award. The parties to the Dispute shall bear all arbitration costs equally to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except as may be necessary to enter judgment upon the award or to the extent required by applicable law, all claims, defenses and proceedings (including the existence of a Dispute and the fact that there is an arbitration proceeding as well as the hearing itself) will be treated in a confidential manner by the arbitrator and all those involved in the proceeding. Any Dispute relating to the arbitration presented to a court will be filed under seal to the extent permitted by law. An arbitration award rendered pursuant to this paragraph will be final and binding on the parties and may be submitted to a court of competent jurisdiction for entry of a judgment thereon, though the parties must maintain the confidentiality of the arbitration and/or award in connection therewith, including by filing the arbitration award under seal, to the extent permitted by law. Regardless of the foregoing, WFC LA shall always have the right to seek and obtain temporary or preliminary injunctive relief or specific performance in any court of competent jurisdiction. This dispute resolution provision shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with WFC LA.
b. You and WFC LA waive all rights to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding involving any Claim in any forum.
c. Any and all claims shall be arbitrated on an individual, non-class, and non-representative basis only, and shall not be consolidated or joined with or in any arbitration or other proceeding involving a Claim of any other party. You and WFC LA waive any right to have any Claim arbitrated or adjudicated as a class or representative action or in any other form other than on an individual basis. You and WFC LA further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to arbitrate any Claim as a class or representative action or in any other form other than on an individual basis. The arbitrator shall have power and authority to award only individual, non-class, and non-representative legal and equitable relief available in the courts of the State of California. Notwithstanding any provision of the JAMS’ rules and procedures, only the federal and state courts, and not the arbitrator, shall have the power to determine compliance with this paragraph, including the interpretation, validity, and enforceability of each of the foregoing sentences.
d. You agree that WFC LA may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles, California necessary to protect its rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.
e. If any Claim is determined not to be subject to arbitration, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings concerning such Claim shall be the federal or state courts of competent jurisdiction sitting within Los Angeles County, California (the “Forum”) and the parties hereby waive
(i) any right to a trial by jury with respect to any Claim in such proceeding,
(ii) any argument that the Forum or any court within it does not have personal jurisdiction, and
(iii) any argument that the Forum is not appropriate or convenient.
f. If either party initiates a proceeding involving any Claim other than
(i) an arbitration in accordance with this Section or
(ii) a proceeding in small claims court permitted by this Section, other than in the Forum, the other party shall recover all attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses reasonably incurred in enforcing this agreement and the agreed Forum.
g. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you permanently and irrevocably waive the right to bring any Claim unless you provide WFC LA with written notice of the event or facts giving rise to the Claim within one (1) year of their occurrence.
h. You and WFC LA agree that this Section 16 shall apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and shall survive termination of this Agreement.
18. Governing Law
These Terms of Service and any dispute that might arise between you and WFC LA will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California. This governing law provision shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with WFC LA.
19. Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Service, by operation of law or otherwise, without WFC LA’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms of Service, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. WFC LA may assign or transfer these Terms of Service, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms of Service will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.
20. Miscellaneous
These Terms of Service (together with the Privacy Policy any other applicable policies posted on the Site or made available in connection with the use of any Service) constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous written or oral agreements, proposals or communications with respect to the subject matter hereof between you and us. As noted above, we in our sole discretion may amend these Terms of Service, and your use of the Site or Services after such amendment is posted on the Site will constitute acceptance of it by you. The section headings in these Terms of Service are for convenience only and must not be given any legal import. If any term or provision of these Terms of Service shall be held to be invalid by any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction, that term or provision shall be deemed modified so as to be valid and enforceable to the full extent permitted. The invalidity of any such term or provision shall not otherwise affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions. Additionally, WFC LA’s failure to enforce any provisions of these Terms of Service or respond to a breach by you or another user shall not serve to waive WFC LA’s right enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of these Terms of Service or to act with respect to similar breaches. This “Miscellaneous” section shall survive any expiration or termination of your relationship with WFC LA.
