If a dispute arises from or relates to these T&Cs or the breach thereof, and if the dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions within 30 days from the notification of a dispute by either party, the parties agree to endeavor first to settle the dispute by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Procedures before resorting to arbitration. The parties further agree that any unresolved controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration by a single arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California and the arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. These T&C’s shall not be governed by the conflict of law rules of any jurisdiction or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods nor the Computer Information Transactions Act, the application of which is expressly excluded. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator shall not award consequential damages in any arbitration initiated under this section. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators and administrative fees of arbitration. Notwithstanding anything in these T&C’s to the contrary, Service Provider shall have the right, at its election, to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its intellectual property rights, and to enforce or obtain compliance with these T&C’s without first submitting such matter to arbitration.
