15. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE

A. BINDING ARBITRATION

This Section 17 is referred to in this Agreement as the "Agreement to Arbitrate". Unless you opt-out pursuant to the opt-out procedures set forth below, you agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and Scrubfly or its affiliates, whether relating to the Service, this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), or otherwise (each a "Dispute"), shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than a court in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Arbitrate. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, not a judge or jury. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, each available at www.adr.org, or such other alternative dispute resolution body and arbitration rules that may be mutually agreed upon by you and Scrubfly. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Scrubfly may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

B. RESTRICTIONS

You and Scrubfly agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between Scrubfly and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no arbitration shall 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.

C. EXCEPTIONS TO INFORMAL NEGOTIATIONS AND ARBITRATION

You and Scrubfly 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 Scrubfly 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.

D. 30 DAY RIGHT TO OPT OUT

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 17 above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the Scrubfly contact information listed at the bottom of this Agreement. The notice must be sent to Scrubfly within thirty (30) days of your registering to use the Service or agreeing to these terms, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those sections. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.

 

16. GENERAL

A. GOVERNING LAW AND LOCATION

The Service is controlled and operated by Scrubfly from within the United States of America. Scrubfly makes no representations that the Service or the materials available via the Service, are appropriate or available for use in other locations outside of the United States. Those who choose to access the Service from other locations do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all United States of America laws as well as local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.

You agree that the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over Scrubfly, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California. This Agreement and any Disputes shall be governed by the internal substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. An arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. All arbitration and other litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction of any dispute between you and Scrubfly related to this Agreement shall be located in Los Angeles County, California.

You may not use the Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States government.

B. ASSIGNMENT

This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Scrubfly without restriction.

C. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as making either party the partner, joint venturer, employer, contractor or employee of the other. Neither party shall have, or hold itself out to any third party as having any authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action, that shall be binding on the other, except as provided for herein or authorized in writing by the party to be bound.

D. NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

Scrubfly may provide notifications, whether such notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through conspicuous posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Scrubfly in its sole discretion. Scrubfly reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our Users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification as described in this Agreement. Scrubfly is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us.

E. ENTIRE AGREEMENT/SEVERABILITY

This Agreement, together with any amendments and any additional agreements you may enter into with Scrubfly in connection with the Service, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and Scrubfly concerning the Service. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.

F. NO WAIVER

No waiver of any term of this Agreement shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and Scrubfly's failure to assert any right or provision under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

G. CONTACT
