13. Dispute Resolution; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
a.
YOUR USE OF THE SITE CONSTITUTES YOUR WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THAT MAY OTHERWISE EXIST OR ARISE TO SETTLE BY TRIAL (WHETHER JURY TRIAL OR BENCH TRIAL) ANY DISPUTE THAT YOU MAY HAVE AS AGAINST US (OR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES) THAT IN ANY WAY (WHETHER IN WHOLE OR IN PART) ARISES FROM OR IS RELATED TO THE SITE OR ITS TERMS OF USE, THE LICENSE, LICENSED PROPERTY OR RELATED SERVICES. ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE SETTLED ONLY AS FOLLOWS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION OR CONDITION. 
b. Before you or we may initiate any dispute resolution proceeding of whatever kind or nature, if there ever exists a dispute between you and Licensor (or any of its affiliated persons) arising out of or related to any transaction conducted on, or other access, visit or use of, the Site or any dispute otherwise related to this License Agreement or other Documentation, the party who would otherwise desire to initiate any such proceeding (the “Disputing Party”) hereby covenants to not do so without first attempting, in good faith, to resolve any such dispute with the other party in accordance with the following procedure: the Disputing Party shall first provide written notice (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth the nature of the dispute and the preferred means to contact the Disputing Party. Any such Dispute Notice shall be sent by the Disputing Party by nationally recognized overnight courier as follows: if to Licensor, to its principal address or email included in the Site; and if to you, to any address you may have provided in connection with any use of the Site or, if none, to any other address that Licensor may otherwise have on record for you, if none, to any address Licensor may be able without unreasonable effort to obtain for you, provided that Licensor need not extend such efforts for more than thirty (30) days. The confirmation of delivery by such courier shall confirm actual receipt of the notice or other communication being thereby delivered. Then, beginning not later than thirty (30) days after the actual receipt of such notice by the other party, the parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate, for period of ninety (90) days, between themselves a mutually agreeable resolution of the dispute. If the parties have not so resolved the dispute between themselves, then the parties will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute pursuant to non-binding mediation with a third-party mediator mutually agreeable to them, such mediation to take place over not less than two (2) separate sessions of not less than four (4) hours each in Los Angeles County, CA and the costs for each respective party’s legal counsel in connection therewith shall be borne by each such party, and the costs of mediation otherwise to be shared by the parties equally unless agreed to otherwise in a mediated agreement signed by them.
c. The foregoing procedure is a condition precedent to the initiation of any other dispute proceeding (which proceeding must, in addition, be permitted hereunder); and is a condition precedent (which may be enforced by the other Party without waiving its rights hereunder) to any unpermitted or untimely litigation, arbitration, mediation, other filing of a claim or grievance or other proceeding in any legal, administrative, equitable or other forum against the other party which, while not permitted or while untimely under this License Agreement, places the other party in a position which reasonably requires it, on advice of legal counsel, to respond; and any such response and/or incurrence of costs shall not be deemed a waiver of the responding party’s right’s hereunder, or a consent to the unpermitted or untimely proceeding). 
d. Any dispute not first settled between you and us, as and within the time provided above, shall be settled solely and exclusively by final and binding arbitration, in Los Angeles County in the State of California (or in another location in which we may at such time have our principal place of business, in our sole determination). Such arbitration shall be administered by JAMS in accordance with its applicable rules of practice then in effect by a single arbitrator. Such arbitrator shall be an individual agreeable to you and us; and if such arbitrator is not agreed to by you and us within 30 days after formal initiation of the arbitration proceeding, such arbitrator shall be an individual having reasonable experience in matters of the type provided for in this License Agreement and who is chosen by JAMS. Decisions by the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and not subject to appeal. Awards by the arbitrator shall be satisfied by the party responsible therefor within thirty days after the award is rendered; and if any award is not satisfied within such time, the prevailing party may enforce the award in the state or federal courts in Los Angeles County in the State of California (or in another location in which we may at such time have a place of business, in the sole determination of the party seeking to have the award enforced). For the purposes of an action to enforce an arbitration award, you and we each consent to the sole and exclusive personal jurisdiction of such courts, waive any defense of inconvenient forum and any other defense to such jurisdiction or venue, and consent to service of process in any manner permitted by law. The non-prevailing party in any such arbitration shall be responsible for all fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the prevailing party incurred in connection with the arbitration, and/or with any action that may later be required by the prevailing party to enforce an arbitration award; and if each Party prevails on at least one point of dispute, then the arbitrator shall allocate responsibility for sharing the aggregate costs of both Parties as the arbitrator determines to be equitable, provided that the Party with the greater prevailing position shall have the lesser share of the aggregate costs. 
e. Any decision rendered by an arbitrator in accordance herewith may be enforced in any federal or state court located in Los Angeles County in the State of California, and the Parties each consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for such purpose, waives any defense of inconvenient forum, and consents to service of process for such purposes by all means permitted by law. If any provision of this License Agreement is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid in any respect, such provision shall be severed and the remaining portions of this License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This License Agreement constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between you and Licensor relating to its subject matter. Subject to our reserved rights to update, upgrade, deploy new versions of, and otherwise modify the Licensed Property and to update, alter, change, modify, add to, delete from or otherwise amend this License Agreement, no condition herein at any time then in effect may be waived, and no other provision at any time then in effect may be amended, except by a writing signed by Licensor.
f. Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything herein or elsewhere to the contrary, we shall be entitled to seek equitable relief in any federal or State court in the United States or elsewhere having subject matter jurisdiction without either having to post a bond or first submitting the matter to arbitration or mediation with respect to actual, alleged or threatened breaches by you of any provision herein relating to, alleging, or seeking to enforce any provision concerning indemnification, ownership of our property (including without limitation the Licensed Property and Intellectual Property), or your violation of any provision hereof or of any other Documentation pertaining to keeping our Site free of any Malware, or to interfering with our Site or information security, or to providing us any fraudulent or other materially false information; in case of any of which, you (for yourself and for an on behalf of your heirs, successors, permitted assigns, representatives, and agents, and any of your or their affiliated individuals or entities) consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and agree that service of process or notice in any such action, suit or proceeding shall be effective if delivered in any manner not prohibited by law and hereby waive any claim or defense of inconvenient forum or any other defense to any such jurisdiction or venue. The rights set forth in this paragraph are in addition to any other right or remedy available to the party seeking equitable relief, at law, in equity or otherwise.
g. Remote Proceedings. For so long as either party to a dispute to be resolved hereunder occurs at a time and in a place where governmental authorities have declared a health emergency due to a contagion, if the proceeding therefor is contemplated to occur at a specific geographic location within such place, the same may, at the election of either party or the mediator, arbitrator or other tribunal, occur by remote communication technology agreeable to the parties or, if they cannot agree within a reasonable time, determined by the mediator or arbitrator or other tribunal (except to the extent the mediator or arbitrator or other tribunal determines the same is not reasonably practicable, and that all or a portion of the proceeding should occur in person). Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if the proceeding occurs in whole or in part remotely, the mediator or arbitrator or other tribunal shall have experience resolving disputes in the geographic region which includes the location wherein the proceeding would occur if occurring in person, and with the law governing this Agreement.
