We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you (and without limiting your indemnification obligations with respect to such matter), and in such case, you agree to cooperate with our defense of such claim.
14. DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION (a) Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and MeetKai in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and MeetKai agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms must be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND MEETKAI ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. (b) Exceptions. Notwithstanding subsection (a), we both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims. (c) Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and MeetKai will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting MeetKai. (d) Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or commercial carrier (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). MeetKai’s address for Notice is: MeetKai, Inc., 4136 Del Rey Ave, Suite 640, Marina Del Rey, CA, 90292 USA. The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or MeetKai may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or MeetKai must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. (e) Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, MeetKai will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for greater than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in California provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse MeetKai for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. (f) No Class Actions. YOU AND MEETKAI AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and MeetKai agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. (g) Modifications. In the event that MeetKai makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to MeetKai’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to MeetKai’s address for Notice, in which case your right to access the Service will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject will survive. (h) Enforceability. If Subsection (f) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 14 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 14 will be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 15 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
15. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. These Terms, whether interpreted in a court of law or in arbitration, will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflict of law principles. To the extent that any lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted hereunder, you and MeetKai agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Los Angeles, California for the purpose of litigating all such disputes.
16. MISCELLANEOUS. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and MeetKai regarding your use of and access to the Service, and except as expressly permitted above may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of all parties to the Terms. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable MeetKai Policy, in the event of a conflict between this TOS and any of the other MeetKai Policies, the conflict will be resolved using the following order of precedence (i) TOS; (ii) Privacy Policy; and (iii) any other Policy. You may not assign or transfer this TOS or your rights hereunder, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. We may assign this TOS at any time without notice. The failure to require performance of any provision will not affect our right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor will a waiver of any breach or default of this TOS or any provision of this TOS constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. Use of section headers in this TOS is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of particular provisions. In the event that any part of this TOS is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the unenforceable part will be given effect to the greatest extent possible and the remaining parts will remain in full force and effect.
17. NOTICE REGARDING APPLE. You acknowledge that this TOS is between you and MeetKai only, not with Apple, and Apple is not responsible for the Service and the content thereof. Apple has no obligation whatsoever to furnish any maintenance and support services with respect to the Service. In the event of any failure of the Service to conform to any applicable warranty, then you may notify Apple and Apple will refund any applicable purchase price to you; and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no other warranty obligation whatsoever with respect to the Service. Apple is not responsible for addressing any claims by you or any third party relating to the Service or your possession and/or use of the Service, including, but not limited to: (i) product liability claims; (ii) any claim that the Service fails to conform to any applicable legal or regulatory requirement; and (iii) claims arising under consumer protection or similar legislation. Apple is not responsible for the investigation, defense, settlement and discharge of any third party claim that the Service and/or your possession and use of the Service infringe that third party’s intellectual property rights. You agree to comply with any applicable third party terms when using the Service. Apple, and Apple’s subsidiaries, are third party beneficiaries of this TOS, and upon your acceptance of this TOS, Apple will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce this TOS against you as a third party beneficiary of this TOS.
