18.          GENERAL. 

 

18.1.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  These Terms, together with the Service Agreements and/or Monthly Beats License Agreements you enter, and Privacy Policy contain the entire understanding between you and us regarding your use of the Services, and supersedes all prior agreements, representations, and understandings between you and us relating to the subject matter hereof.  In the event that any terms contained in these Terms conflict with the terms contained in the Privacy Policy or Service Agreements and/or Monthly Beats License Agreements you enter, the terms of the Service Agreements and Monthly Beats License Agreements you enter shall prevail. 

             

18.2.       SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of these Terms is held in whole or in part to be unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of that provision and of the entire Terms will be severable and remain in effect. 

             

18.3.       WAIVER.  Any failure by us to enforce your strict performance of any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of these Terms.

 

18.4.       CHOICE OF LAW.  The validity, construction, and performance of these Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions.

 

18.5.       MANDATORY ARBITRATION.  If a dispute arises out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, all of the parties agree to try and settle the dispute quickly and fairly through discussion.  If the dispute cannot be settled through discussion, all parties agree to first try in good faith to settle the dispute by private mediation before resorting to arbitration.  If a dispute cannot be resolved with either discussion or mediation, then the dispute shall be submitted for binding arbitration to ADR Services, Inc. in Los Angeles County, California under ADR Services’ arbitration rules.  In the event that ADR Services no longer exists, Lbeats shall select another arbitration service in Los Angeles County to conduct the binding arbitration under such services’ rules.  In any arbitration or litigation under these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs the prevailing party reasonably incurs in such arbitration or litigation, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.  You and Lbeats thus KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS.  FURTHER, YOU AND LBEATS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A CLASS MEMBER OR IN ANY REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR PROCEEDING.

             

18.6.       ASSIGNMENT.  We shall have the right to assign or delegate any of our rights or obligations of these Terms, in whole or in part, at any time, with or without prior notice to you.  You may not assign these Terms in any way.  All obligations contained in these Terms shall extend to and be binding upon the parties’ respective successors, assigns, and designees.

 

18.7.       NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in these Terms, you agree that there shall be no third‐party beneficiaries to these Terms.

 

18.8.       LANGUAGE; TRANSLATIONS.  Any translation of these Terms is done for local requirements.  In the event of a dispute between the English and any non-‐English versions, the English version of these Terms shall govern.

 

18.9.       STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.  You agree that any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the use of the Services must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action arose or is forever barred.
