Applicable Law and Venue

Except as otherwise provided herein, these Terms of Use will be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, as they are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California, excluding only the California body of laws concerning conflicts of law. Except as provided below, you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, including for any action seeking to compel arbitration or vacate an arbitral award, and consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You also acknowledge and agree that any applicable state law implementation of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (including any available remedies) will not apply to these Terms and is hereby disclaimed.

Arbitration Agreement

If a dispute arises under these Terms of Use between you and G&S, such dispute shall be resolved, at the filing party’s election, in either a small claims court or by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, under their rules for consumer arbitrations. The venue for all disputes arising under these Terms of Use shall be Los Angeles County, California. All disputes in arbitration will be handled solely between the named parties, and not on any representative or class basis. ACCORDINGLY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A COURT (OTHER THAN A SMALL CLAIMS COURT) OR TO A JURY TRIAL.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity, other than class relief. The arbitrator’s award will be written, and binding, on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If you are an individual consumer using the Service primarily for personal reasons, as opposed to a business user or individual who is accessing the Service for business purposes with G&S’s express written consent per the applicable Terms above, and you are located within the United States (i) you may alternatively select your state of residence as the place of arbitration, but all other actions remain subject to the venue and choice of law provisions herein; (ii) G&S will  pay all arbitration administrative fees and fees for the arbitrator’s services, other than the filing fee required for you to initiate a claim; (iii) if the claim you wish to assert against us is for less than $10,000 then, at your election, the arbitration may proceed in-person, by telephone, or by written briefs or you may in lieu of arbitration bring your claim in small claims court. If either party files a claim in state or federal court that is required by these Terms of Use to have been brought to arbitration, then the other party will be entitled to such party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in successfully compelling arbitration. Additionally, if you are an individual consumer, you may opt-out of this Arbitration Agreement within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms by fully and accurately completing an opt out form, including providing: (i) your full legal name, (ii) your complete mailing address, (iii) your phone number, (iv) if applicable, the username associated with your Account; and (iv) the date of your initial use of the Service.

Both parties reserve the right to seek a preliminary injunction or temporary restraining order from a federal or state court located in Los Angeles County, California. However, after such request for relief has been adjudicated by such court, the remainder of the dispute will be resolved by binding arbitration as set forth herein.

Waiver of Class Action

You and G&S agree that any dispute hereunder will be resolved on an individual basis and that any claims brought under these Terms of Use or in connection with the Service must be brought in the parties’ individual capacities, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any putative class, collective, or representative proceeding. The parties further agree that they will not participate in any class action (existing or future) brought by any third party arising under this Agreement or in connection with the Service. 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 hereunder can proceed on a class-wide basis, then such class action is not subject to arbitration and must be litigated in state or federal court in Los Angeles County, California.

General

If any of the provisions set forth in these Terms of Use are deemed invalid, void, or for any reason unenforceable, the parties agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the unenforceable condition shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions of these Terms of Use or the Terms of Service. Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not limit the scope or extent of such section.

The failure of G&S to act with respect to a breach of these Terms of Use by you or others does not waive G&S’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

If any content on the Service, or your use of the Service, is contrary to the laws of the place where you are when you access it, the Service is not intended for you, and we ask you not to use the Service. G&S makes no representation that every aspect of the Service is appropriate or available for use in any particular jurisdiction You are responsible for informing yourself of the laws of your jurisdiction and complying with them. When you choose to access and use the Service, you agree that you do so on your own initiative and at your own risk; you will not use the Service if you are prohibited from receiving products, services, or software originating from the United States; you are responsible for complying with local laws and regulations, if and to the extent local laws and regulations are applicable; and you specifically agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations concerning the transmission of technical data exported from the country in which you reside. If there is a conflict between any of the terms herein and your rights in your place of residence, your rights under applicable law will control as to those specific terms.

G&S does not guarantee it will take action against all breaches of these Terms of Use.

Assignment

You may not assign these Terms of Use (or any rights, benefits or obligations hereunder) by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of G&S, which may be withheld at G&S’s sole discretion. Any attempted assignment that does not comply with these Terms of Use shall be null and void. G&S may assign these Terms of Use, in whole or in part, to any third party in its sole discretion.

Entire Agreement and Admissibility

These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, as well as any other terms, conditions and policies expressly referenced herein, together with any legal notices or other terms published on or provided via the Services that incorporate these Terms by reference, shall constitute the complete agreement and understanding between you and G&S with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
