20. Choice of Law

This Agreement and any Dispute (as defined below) will be governed by California law and/or applicable federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act) as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California, without regard to its choice of law or conflicts of law principles that would require application of law of a different jurisdiction.

21. Disputes

a. Informal Negotiations. If a dispute of any kind arises, FutureOne wants to understand and address User’s concerns quickly and to User’s satisfaction. Please contact FutureOne support at Dani@FutureOnedesigns.com with any dispute. If FutureOne cannot resolve User’s concerns, FutureOne agrees to an informal dispute resolution process requiring an attempt to negotiate any dispute (except those “Disputes,” as defined below and expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding.  
b. Binding Arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, and except as otherwise set forth in this section, User and FutureOne agrees to arbitrate all “Disputes,” defined as any claim, controversy or dispute (whether involving contract, tort, equitable, statutory or any other legal theory) between User and FutureOne, including but not limited to any claims relating in any way to this Agreement (including its breach, termination and interpretation), any other aspect of User’s relationship with FutureOne, FutureOne’s advertising, and any use of FutureOne’s Platform or Services. “Disputes” also include any claims that arose before this Agreement and that may arise after termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, User or FutureOne may choose to pursue a claim in court and not by arbitration if User fails to timely pay any amounts due or satisfy any payment obligation owed to FutureOne.  FutureOne may assign User’s account for collection to a collection agency, and the collection agency may pursue in any court of competent jurisdiction any claim that is strictly limited to the collection of past due amounts and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or this Agreement.
ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE ONLY BE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED, AND USER IS WAIVING USER’S RIGHTS TO HAVE USER’S CASE DECIDED BY A JURY AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST FutureOne. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced (but in no case shall there be a class arbitration). All Disputes shall be resolved finally and exclusively by binding individual arbitration with a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (www.adr.org) (“AAA”) according to this provision and the applicable arbitration rules. To initiate an arbitration proceeding, an arbitration claim must be submitted by the claimant (the “Claimant”) to the AAA, and a written Demand for Arbitration must be provided to the other party (the “Opposing Party”), pursuant to the AAA Rules.  A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA's website at www.adr.org. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 (“FAA”), fully applies. Arbitration hearings will be held in Los Angeles, California or any other location that is mutually agreed upon by User and FutureOne. User or FutureOne may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, video conference, or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on User and FutureOne subject to the arbitrator's discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. Attendance at an in-person hearing may be made by telephone or video conference by User or by FutureOne, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
A single arbitrator will be mutually selected by FutureOne and User, and shall be (i) a practicing attorney licensed to practice law in California or a retired judge; and (ii) selected from the arbitrators on the AAA’s roster of commercial dispute arbitrators who have a background in online commerce or consumer law (or if there are no such arbitrators, then from the arbitrators on the AAA’s roster of commercial dispute arbitrators) (collectively, the “Arbitrator Requirements”).  If User and FutureOne cannot mutually agree upon an arbitrator within ten (10) days of the Opposing Party’s receipt of the Demand for Arbitration from the Claimant, then the AAA shall appoint a single arbitrator that satisfies the Arbitrator Requirements. The arbitrator will follow the law and will give effect to any applicable statutes of limitation. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon User and FutureOne. A judgment on the award may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.  FutureOne may, in its sole discretion, commence an action in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Los Angeles, California, for any monetary amounts that User owes to FutureOne (each, an “Action”).  User hereby waives any objection to jurisdiction or venue, or any defense claiming lack of jurisdiction or improper venue, in any Action brought by FutureOne in such courts.
User and FutureOne agrees and acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the FAA shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the arbitration clause in this Agreement. USER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES, UNDERSTANDS, AND AGREES THAT USER AND FutureOne ARE EACH WAIVING THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY AS TO DISPUTES HEREUNDER AND THAT USER IS WAIVING USER’S RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION PROCEEDING ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT.
The arbitration provisions shall not apply to (i) any claim related to actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights; (ii) any claim seeking emergency injunctive relief based on exigent circumstances (including but not limited to imminent danger or commission of a crime, hacking, or cyber-attack).

22. Severability

In the event that a provision of this Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.
If two or more provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement User may have with FutureOne are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, FutureOne shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.

23. Non-Waiver

FutureOne reserves all rights permitted to FutureOne under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law.  FutureOne’s non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or any applicable law should not be construed as a waiver of FutureOne’s right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.

24. Assignment and Survival

User may not assign User’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party without FutureOne’s prior written consent.  FutureOne may assign FutureOne’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement to any other party at FutureOne discretion.  All portions of this Agreement that would reasonably be believed to survive termination shall survive and remain in full force upon termination, including but not limited to the Limitation of Liabilities, Representation and Warranties, Disclaimers, User Content,  Choice of Law, Indemnification, Access, all End User obligations, and Arbitration sections.

25. Termination

FutureOne may terminate User’s access to the Platform or Services if FutureOne determines the following: (1) User has violated any applicable Laws while using the Platform or Services; (2) User has violated any portion of this Agreement or any of the Services or Platform policies; or (3) where FutureOne believes User’s current or future actions may legally harm FutureOne, FutureOne’s business interests or a relevant third party, at FutureOne’s discretion.  In the event of termination, FutureOne will strive to provide User with a timely explanation; however, FutureOne is not required to do so.
