  1. Arbitration

For any dispute you have with Made Easy, you agree to first contact the Made Easy and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that Made Easy has not been able to resolve a dispute within 30 days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these Terms, or breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration. Unless you and Made Easy decide otherwise, arbitration will be conducted in Orange County, California. If your claim is for $10,000 U.S. Dollars or less, Made Easy agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the arbitration rules.  Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative and arbitrator fees. The award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for experts and other witnesses, and any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this section shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or equitable relief from the courts for matters related to intellectual property rights or unauthorized access to the Service. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND, UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND [COMPANY] ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

  1. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to any conflict of laws, rules, or principles.

  1. Complete Agreement

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of those rights. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between us regarding the Platform, and supersede and replace any prior agreements we might have between us regarding the Platform.

  1. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated except as mandated by ruling.
