Unless otherwise required by applicable law, and except as provided in the following section, venue is exclusively in the state or federal courts, as applicable, located in Maricopa County, Arizona.  You expressly agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

  2. BINDING ARBITRATION.  YOU AGREE TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS OR RELATING TO THIS SITE THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AS SET FORTH BELOW.

a. WAIVER.  YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, (I) YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND (II) YOU MAY NOT BRING A CLAIM AGAINST COMPANY IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN ONE OR MORE PARTY’S CLAIMS IN A CLASS OR PROCEEDING.  In the event a court determines that the foregoing is unenforceable, then such claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought in court, subject to Momos’ right to appeal.

b. Good Faith Discussions.  You and Momos must first attempt to resolve any dispute by good faith discussions or email.  If the parties cannot resolve a dispute with good faith discussions, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration as set forth in these Terms.

c. Rules.  You and Momos agree that arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules, then in effect and as amended herein (the “Rules”).  The Rules can be found at:  https://www.adr.org/Rules.  You and Momos agree that this agreement to arbitrate involves a transaction of interstate commerce and therefore the Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate.

d. Arbitrator.  Arbitration shall be before one (1) arbitrator who shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes arising under these Terms or regarding the Site, including as to the enforceability and/or formation of this agreement to arbitrate made between you and Momos.

e. Location.  You agree that arbitration shall take place exclusively in the state of Arizona. However, where the disclosed claims or counterclaims do not exceed $25,000, the dispute may be resolved by the submission of documents only/desk arbitration (see the Rules for more details).  Either party may, however, ask for a hearing, or the arbitrator may decide a hearing is necessary.

f. Time Limit.  Any claim by you arising in connection with the Site must be commenced by you within one (1) year of the dispute giving rise to the claim.

g. Confidentiality.  The arbitration and information disclosed during arbitration may not be disclosed to any third-party except as required by law.  The parties will not make any comments or announcements to the public about the subject matter or outcome of any arbitration.

h. Changes to this Agreement to Arbitrate.  If Momos modifies this arbitration provision, you may reject that change by sending Momos written notice within thirty (30) days of our posting of the change, in which case you may no longer access or use the Site or its Content.

i. The Arbitrator’s Decision.  The arbitrator’s decisions and judgement will be final and binding on the parties but will have no precedential effect.  The arbitrator shall not have the authority to award damages outside of those set forth in these Terms.

j. Costs and Expenses.  Each party shall pay their own expenses and fees, including their own attorneys’ fees, arising from arbitration, unless the arbitrator determines that your claims were improper or frivolous, in which case the arbitrator may require you to reimburse us for certain fees and expenses in accordance with the Rules.

k. Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, you and Momos each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property rights.

  1. Assignment. You may not assign your rights or delegate your duties under these Terms without our prior written consent. These Terms inure to the benefit of Momos’ successors and assigns.
