ARBITRATION IF A DISPUTE ARISES (“Arbitration Agreement”)

Any legal dispute between you and BUZZBAR® concerning or arising out of these Terms of Use, shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration unless you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement using the process explained below. You understand and agree that you are waiving your right to sue or go to court to assert or defend your rights under this contract. However, either you or BUZZBAR® may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within the first sixty (600 days after the earliest of the first time you (a) make a purchase from the Site; or (b) you use the Service, or sign up for any service provided by BUZZBAR®, by sending a signed letter to BUZZBAR® Arbitration Opt-Out, Attn: Legal, 1299 Ocean Avenue, Santa Monica, California 90401. The letter should include your printed name, address, and the words “Reject Arbitration”.

Either party may initiate arbitration, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, the parties shall agree to, or the court shall select, another arbitration provider. Unless you and BUZZBAR® agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing shall take place in the county of your residence. If you live outside the United States, any arbitration will take place in Los Angeles County, in the State of California. We encourage you to call BUZZBAR® in advance of filing a claim for arbitration to see if the dispute can be settled prior to arbitration.

All arbitrations shall proceed on an individual basis. The arbitrator is empowered to resolve the dispute with the same remedies available in court, however, any relief must be individualized to you and shall not affect any other customer. You and BUZZBAR® also agree that each may bring claims against the other in arbitration only in your or their respective individual capacities and in so doing you and BUZZBAR® hereby waive the right to a trial by jury, to assert or participate in a class action lawsuit or class action arbitration, to assert or participate in a private attorney general lawsuit or private attorney general arbitration, and to assert or participate in any joint or consolidated lawsuit or joint or consolidated arbitration of any kind. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular cause of action, then that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from any arbitration.

BUZZBAR® will pay all filing, administrative, arbitrator and hearing costs and waives any rights it may have to recover an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses against you.

This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of these Terms of Use, or to any disputes and claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the State of California will govern. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.
