Such arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in force at that time. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefore. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered only in a state or federal court located in Los Angeles, California, and You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such court for that purpose. You and COMPANY agree that the arbitrator shall have limited authority to award damages such that the arbitrator shall not have the power to award damages in excess of those permitted under this Agreement and in no event more than actual compensatory damages. The agreement to arbitrate shall not be construed as an agreement or consolidation of arbitration between You and COMPANY under this Section with arbitration of disputes or claims of any other party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.

YOU AGREE THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

iii) Severability: If any provision contained in this agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions and portions of this agreement, and the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified so as to have the most similar result that is valid and enforceable under applicable California law.

iv) Waiver: The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this agreement shall not affect in any way the first party's right to require such performance at any time thereafter. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provision in this agreement shall not be taken or held by the other party to be a continuing waiver of that provision unless such waiver is made in writing.

v) Feedback to COMPANY:

You agreed and acknowledge that all suggestions, comments, ideas, and improvements You offer to COMPANY regarding the Website or any of COMPANY's Services are "works made for hire" for the benefit of COMPANY and You assign all right, title and interest in such to COMPANY. You waive all "moral rights" including "droit moral".

vi) Entire Agreement: This Agreement, alternately referred to as the "Terms and Conditions", together with Brand Subscription Agreements and anything specifically incorporated by reference, is the complete and exclusive agreement between COMPANY and You with regard to the purchase, subscription or use of this Website to which this Agreement is associated. This Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous proposals, oral or written, understandings, representations, conditions, warranties, and all other communications between COMPANY and You relating to the subject property, products and services. This agreement may not be explained or supplemented by any prior course of dealings or trade by custom or usage. In the event of a conflict between the terms of an Brand Subscription Agreement and these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall control unless the Brand Subscription Agreement references the particular conflicting term and indicates it shall prevail over the terms of this Agreement.
