If You are entering into this Agreement on behalf of an entity or organization, you represent and warrant to Acquisition that You are authorized to bind that entity or organization to this Agreement, and all references in this agreement to “you” will include that entity or organization.

Unless you have entered into another separate agreement with Acquisition regarding your access to or use of the Site or any Platforms, or any of the Content or other Offerings, all access to and use of each Site and Platform, as well as all Content and other Offerings, is provided by Acquisition under this Agreement. Acquisition is willing to allow you to access and use the Site and Platforms, including the Content and other Offerings, only if you agree to be bound by this Agreement. By accessing or using any Site or Platform, or any Content or other Offerings, or by otherwise agreeing to the terms of this Agreement (including electronically), you accept and agree to be bound by this Agreement.
This Agreement forms a binding legal agreement between you and Acquisition as of the date you first accept this Agreement (“Effective Date”). You and Acquisition are each a party to this Agreement and together are the parties to this Agreement.

BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE OR PLATFORMS, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT OR OTHER OFFERINGS, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTAND, AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH AND BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.

31 DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Except as otherwise provided below, the parties will attempt to resolve all disputes, controversies, or claims arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement, including the formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, of this Agreement and the arbitrability of the issues submitted to arbitration hereunder and non-contractual claims relating to this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section.
If any Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations between the parties within 15 days of notice from one party to the other of the Dispute, then at the request of either party such Dispute will be finally settled through binding arbitration under the arbitration of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) then in effect (the “Rules”). Either party may commence the arbitration by delivering a request for arbitration as specified in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted before a sole neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator within 30 days (the “Initial Period”) after either party to this Agreement delivers a request for arbitration, a neutral arbitrator will be selected as provided in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted exclusively in the English language at a location specified by Acquisition in Las Vegas, Nevada. The award of the arbitrator will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the arbitrator. The award of the arbitrators will require payment of the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in any such arbitration by the non-prevailing party. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court or governmental body having jurisdiction thereof. Any additional costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the award may be charged against the party that resists its enforcement.
32 CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION AND VENUE
This Agreement and the interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed exclusively by and construed in accordance with the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding conflict of laws provisions that would indicate the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
SUBJECT TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION, EACH PARTY WILL BRING ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE OR OTHERWISE ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE OR ANY PLATFORM (INCLUDING ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE ANY ARBITRATION AWARD), ONLY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, U.S.A.

You expressly waive any claim of improper venue and any claim that such courts are an inconvenient forum.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL PURSUE ANY CLAIM OR LAWSUIT RELATED TO ANY DISPUTE OR OTHERWISE ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SITE OR PLATFORMS (INCLUDING THE CONTENT OR ANY OTHER OFFERINGS), OR YOUR USE THEREOF AS AN INDIVIDUAL, AND WILL NOT LEAD, JOIN, OR SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR USER OF A CLASS OR GROUP OF PERSONS BRINGING SUCH A CLAIM OR LAWSUIT.
THE PARTIES DESIRE TO AVOID THE TIME AND EXPENSE RELATING TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES, FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY DISPUTE. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, FREELY, AND VOLUNTARILY GIVEN, IS DESIRED BY BOTH PARTIES AND IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF BOTH PARTIES.

FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, ARBITRATION DEMANDS SHALL BE DEEMED “SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR IN NATURE” IF THEY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO THE SAME OR SIMILAR FACTS, EVENTS, COURSE OF CONDUCT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR LEGAL THEORY, AS DETERMINED BY THE JAMS PROCEDURAL ARBITRATOR IN ITS REASONABLE DISCRETION. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY PARTICIPATING IN A MASS ARBITRATION, THE RESOLUTION OF YOUR DISPUTE MIGHT BE DELAYED. IF THIS SECTION IS TRIGGERED, THEN JAMS SHALL:
(A) ADMINISTER THE ARBITRATION DEMANDS IN BATCHES OF UP TO 100 DEMANDS IN ANY BATCH (THE PRECISE NUMBER TO BE DETERMINED BY THE JAMS PROCEDURAL ARBITRATOR; IN DECIDING WHICH ARBITRATION DEMANDS WILL GO IN WHICH BATCH, JAMS SHALL MAKE THE BATCHES AS EQUAL AS POSSIBLE IN TERMS OF CUMULATIVE AMOUNT DEMANDED AND NUMBER OF ARBITRATION DEMANDS);
(B) APPOINT A SINGLE, DIFFERENT ARBITRATOR FOR EACH BATCH UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE OTHERWISE; AND

39 GENERAL
Words and phrases used in this Agreement have the definition given in this Agreement or, if not defined herein, have their plain English meaning as commonly interpreted in the United States. As used in this Agreement, the term “including” means “including, but not limited to.” Section headings are for reference purposes only. Acquisition’s failure at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing and signed in ink by the party to be bound. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions, and the court will substitute for such provision a valid and enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of such provision. The remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other, or joint ventures, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other. You may not assign this Agreement or any of your rights or obligations under this Agreement, whether through operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written approval of Acquisition. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Acquisition may freely assign this Agreement. No term of this Agreement will be construed to confer any third-party beneficiary rights on any non-party. Each and every right and remedy hereunder is cumulative with each and every other right and remedy herein or in any other agreement between the parties or under applicable Law. This Agreement may be amended only as set forth herein.
