Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the section "General" below, you expressly agree that any use of the Software or Service by you that violates or is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (in whole or in part) may: (i) cause Company and/or Licensor irreparable damage and injunctive, and (ii) equitable or injunctive relief (including, but not limited to, specific performance) may be necessary to protect the rights or interests of Company and/or Licensor. Accordingly, you agree that Company and/or Licensor may in any such instance, in their respective sole and absolute discretion and judgment, request any suitable injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond) and that you will not assert any objection thereof (including, but not limited to, a claim that such relief is inappropriate or that the harm alleged by Company and/or Licensor is not irreparable).

General
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act shall not apply to the Agreement. You expressly agree that any controversy, dispute or claim ("Litigation") arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the Software/Service, or the alleged breach thereof, or relating to our activities or services or to us otherwise under this Agreement, shall be settled by confidential binding arbitration in ____________________________________ (provided, that if the Litigation involves, relates to or is connected to, whether directly or indirectly, Licensor, then the place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles County, California), in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be binding on the parties and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. In the event of any Litigation, the parties expressly and irremovably consent to the exclusive venue and personal jurisdiction as set forth directly above. Any claim or cause of action by you arising out of or related to your use of the Software or Service, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement, must be filed by you or commenced within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred. In the event of any Litigation arising from, related to or in connection with this Agreement or the Software or Service, the prevailing party thereof shall be entitled to recover its reasonable expenses, including (without limitation) attorneys' fees and the costs of litigation and arbitration. The agreement to arbitrate in this paragraph shall not prevent Company or Licensor from seeking redress in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect Proprietary Information or intellectual property, nor shall it prevent a party from enforcing this agreement to arbitrate or enforcing any judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The respective rights and remedies of Company and Licensor under this Agreement are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently in each and every instance.
If any provision of this Agreement is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then: (i) such provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible under the circumstances so as to effectuate the original intent of the parties with respect to such provisions; and (ii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will be unaffected thereby and will continue to remain in full force and effect at all times.
Neither Company nor Licensor will be liable for any failure to perform acts due to causes beyond its control (including, without limitation, electrical outage, Internet Service Provider or wireless network or other service provider downtime, power failure, fire, flood, strike, civil disturbance, terrorism, war or Acts of God). If any such circumstances occur, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to provide reasonable notice to you of the same. The time for Company to perform hereunder will be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of the delay or default caused thereby.
This Agreement is made by and between Company and you. However, it is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by the parties that Licensor is an express, intended and vested third party beneficiary in and of this Agreement. The Company's protections, rights and benefits under this Agreement shall inure also to the benefit of Licensor. Furthermore, Licensor is expressly permitted and authorized to enforce (on its own behalf, on behalf of the Company, or in any combination thereof) this Agreement at any time (without prior notice thereof to any person, entity or party) on behalf of, in lieu of, in addition to or in conjunction with the Company.
Unless otherwise stated herein, any notices hereunder to Company shall be in writing and be delivered by hand or mail (as specified below) to the persons and at the addresses as set forth below and shall be deemed given upon (i) delivery if by hand, (ii) five (5) business days after mailing if by certified mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) confirmation of delivery in the case of overnight or express mail. Notices to you hereunder may be provided by electronic mail to the electronic mail address provided by you to Company (and such notice shall be deemed given immediately upon transmission thereof by Company).
