  1. Arbitration

Except as otherwise provided in our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy or Disclaimer, you understand and agree that any claim, cause of action or dispute arising out of or relating to our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy or Disclaimer, or arising out of or relating to our Site or Content shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules, in effect at the time the proceedings begin, of the American Arbitration Association. Any such claim, cause of action or dispute shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim, cause of action or dispute of any other party. The arbitration shall be held in Portland, Oregon, United States. You are expressly and irrevocably consenting and submitting in advance to arbitration held in San Diego, California, United States, and you agree to waive any claim that San Diego, California, United States, is an inconvenient or improper forum for any reason.

A single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law, who is knowledgeable about the subject matter of the agreement, will conduct the arbitration. The arbitrator is bound to apply and enforce our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement between the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within 30 days of being initiated, three arbitrators will conduct arbitration and shall be selected by the following method: each party shall select one person to act as an arbitrator, and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator within 10 days of their appointment to serve as arbitrator.

Such information shall not be disclosed by the arbitrator without the prior written authorization of all parties. You shall bear the burden of your own legal fees and any and all other fees and costs incurred in connection with any arbitration proceedings.

Judgment upon the award returned by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets or application of enforcement, as the case may be. Any award by the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties.

If you bring litigation or other proceedings against Company or our representatives, owners, successors, directors, officers, shareholders, agents and assigns in violation of the arbitration provisions of these Terms of Use, you agree to pay attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs incurred by Company and our representatives, owners, successors, directors, officers, shareholders, agents and assigns to enforce the arbitration provisions of these Terms of Use.

Nothing in the arbitration provisions of these Terms of Use shall be construed as to limit relief and remedies available pursuant to claims, causes of action and disputes that Company and/or our representatives, owners, successors, directors, officers, shareholders, agents and assigns have under other sections of our Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, including, without limitation, claims, causes of actions and disputes involving or allegedly involving any unlawful, unauthorized or prohibited use of the Site or Content, or any breach, threatened breach or alleged breach of Company’s confidential information or Company’s intellectual-property rights.
