23. ARBITRATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION AGREEMENT
A. Initial Dispute Resolution. We are available by email at privacy@screw.wtf to address any concerns you may have regarding use of the Website. We and you (the “Parties”) shall use our best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question or disagreement (“Dispute”) directly through consultation and good faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating legal proceedings of any type. The party asserting the Dispute shall provide written notice to the other party (by overnight courier, first class or registered mail) describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) of the Dispute and allowing the receiving party thirty (30) days in which to respond to or settle the Dispute. Notice shall be sent (1) to us at the address set forth herein, or (2) to you at: your last-used billing address, the billing and/or shipping address in your profile, or your email address, if do not have any other address for you.
B. Agreement to Binding Arbitration. In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute informally, then such dispute shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to either the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein, including the Optional Appeal Procedure, at the Los Angeles office of JAMS, or its successor (“JAMS”) in effect at the time the request for arbitration is made (the “Arbitration Rules”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles County before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall follow California law and the Federal Rules of Evidence in adjudicating the dispute. However, the Parties agree that disclosure shall be limited in any such arbitration to no more than two (2) depositions per Party, each no more than (4) hours in length; no more than ten (10) written requests for documents; no more than ten (10) requests to admit; and no more than five (5) written interrogatories. The Parties waive the right to seek punitive damages and the arbitrator shall have no authority to award such damages. 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, correct or vacate the award. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the neutral arbitrator and the members of any appeal panel shall be former or retired judges or justices of any California state or federal court with experience in matters involving the adult entertainment industry or e-commerce industry, as applicable. If either Party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of such award being rendered, then the other party may enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County. The party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing the award, to be paid by the Party against whom enforcement is ordered.
Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief (unless otherwise precluded by any other provision of these Terms of Use) in the state and federal courts of Los Angeles County. Other Matters. Any dispute or portion thereof, or any claim for a particular form of relief (not otherwise precluded by any other provision of these Terms of Use), that may not be arbitrated pursuant to applicable state or federal law may be heard only in a court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County. NOTICE: YOU ARE AGREEING TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF THE MATTERS INVOLVING THESE TERMS OF USE TO BE DECIDED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATION AS PROVIDED BY CALIFORNIA LAW AND YOU ARE GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS YOU MAY POSSESS TO HAVE THE DISPUTE LITIGATED IN A COURT OR JURY TRIAL. IN SO AGREEING YOU ARE ALSO GIVING UP YOUR JUDICIAL RIGHTS TO DISCOVERY AND APPEAL. IF YOU REFUSE TO SUBMIT TO ARBITRATION AFTER AGREEING TO THIS PROVISION, YOU MAY BE COMPELLED TO ARBITRATE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE. NEVERTHELESS YOUR AGREEMENT TO THIS ARBITRATION IS VOLUNTARY.
C. Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. The Parties further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the Parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. You and we agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only and only on an individual basis and in so doing you and we hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration (either as a named-plaintiff or class member), and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in section 14(B) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes. However, if a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this section 23’s limitations as to a particular cause of action, then that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration. D. Exceptions – Intellectual Property Claims. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief under law or in equity (including without limitation preliminary or other injunctive relief) in any court of competent jurisdiction for disputes or claims arising out of the alleged infringement of either party’s intellectual property rights.
E. Exceptions – Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the Parties’ agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either Party may seek relief in small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
F. 30 Day Opt Out. You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in sections 23(A), 23(B), 23(C) and 23(D) by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Autelitano Media Group, LLC, 3901 NW 79th Ave., Suite 245, Miami, FL 33166, Attn: Legal Department. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first access of, or your registration to use, the Website, 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.
G. Exclusive Venue for Litigation. To the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 23(B) do not apply, the Parties agree that any litigation between them shall be filed exclusively in state or federal courts located in State of California, County of Los Angeles (except for small claims court actions which may be brought in the county where you reside, provided that we are subject to jurisdiction there). The Parties expressly consent to exclusive jurisdiction in the State of California, County of Los Angeles for any litigation other than small claims court actions. The Parties also expressly agree that, to the extent that the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 23(B) do not apply, these Terms of Use shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws rules that would result in the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of California.
24. GENERAL.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and AMG with respect to the Site and the Mobile Services and, if applicable, your purchase of AMG’s products and services offered through this Site and the Mobile Services (including the Paid Services), and supersedes all prior agreements between you and AMG. Failure by AMG to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of California (excluding its choice of law rules). All claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of Los Angeles, California, USA and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. In the event that any portion of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed in accordance with applicable law as nearly as possible to reflect the original intentions of the parties, and the remainder of the provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
