This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Alabama, without regard to conflict-of-law provisions. Any action, proceeding, arbitration, or mediation relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal judicial district that includes Alabama.
PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY. IT PROVIDES THAT ANY DISPUTE MAY BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Any claim, dispute, or controversy by either you or Company against the other (or against the employees, agents, parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, or assigns of the other), arising from or relating to this Agreement or the parties' relationship, shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. This includes claims based on contract, tort (including intentional tort), fraud, agency, negligence, or statutory or regulatory provisions. Claims sought as part of a class action, private attorney general, or other representative action are subject to arbitration only on an individual basis; no claims will be arbitrated on a class-wide basis. Arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator, limited to the claim between the parties, and will not be consolidated with any other arbitration.
If either party prevails in arbitration, the non-prevailing party will reimburse the prevailing party's AAA fees and reasonable attorneys' fees related to the arbitration. Any arbitration award is final and binding, and judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any arbitration hearing will occur within the federal judicial district that includes Alabama.
Nothing in this Agreement prevents either party from seeking injunctive relief to protect confidential information, or from pursuing claims, defenses, or remedies in bankruptcy or other provisional proceedings.
