11.  ARBITRATION; GOVERNING LAW

You agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising hereunder or relating in any way to this Agreement, shall be settled by binding arbitration in Fulton County, Georgia, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”).  The arbitrator shall issue a written decision specifying the basis for the award made.  The party filing a claim or counterclaim in the arbitration proceeding shall pay the deposit(s) determined by JAMS with respect to such claim or counterclaim.  All other costs associated with the arbitration and imposed by JAMS shall be paid as determined by the arbitrator(s) and, in absence of such determination, equally by each party to the arbitration.  In addition, unless the arbitrator awards payment of reasonable attorney and other fees to a party, each party to the arbitration shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and other professional fees incurred in connection with the arbitration.  Determinations of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties to the arbitration, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for a judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.  The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to its conflict of laws rules.  The parties hereto hereby waive their respective right to trial by jury of any cause of action, claim, counterclaim or cross-complaint in any action, proceeding and/or hearing brought by any party against another on any matter whatsoever relating to, resulting from, arising out of, or in any way connected with these Terms, or any amendment or breach hereof, including, without limitation, any claim or injury or damage, or the enforcement of any remedy under any law, statute, or regulation, emergency or otherwise, now or hereafter in effect.

You agree that the following will not be subject to arbitration: (a) any dispute over the validity of any party’s intellectual property rights, and (b) any dispute related to or arising from allegations associated with your unauthorized or prohibited use of the Products, Services, the Website or the Website Content.

This Agreement, and your relationship with us under this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law.  You agree that any action at law or in equity arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be filed only in the local, state, or federal courts located in Fulton County, Georgia and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating any such action. Notwithstanding this, you agree that we shall be permitted to apply for injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in any jurisdiction.
