12. LimitationofLiability:

To the extent permitted by law, you and we each agree to limit claims for damages or other monetary relief against each other to direct and actual damages or statutory damages, regardless of the theory of liability. This means that neither of us will seek any indirect, special, consequential, treble, or punitive damages from the other, nor will either of us be entitled to recover such damages. This limitation and waiver also applies to any claims you may bring against any other party to the extent that we would be required to indemnify that party for such claim. You agree we are not liable for problems caused by you or a third party, or by any act of God, nature, epidemic, or pandemic. Applicable law may not allow the limitation of liability, implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages set forth above, so this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If any part of this limitation on liability is found to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, then the aggregate liability of the Association under such circumstances shall be limited to the total amount which you have paid to the Association, in exchange for our products and services.

You shall indemnify, defend (including by paying reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), and hold harmless the Association and its affiliates, and each of their officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives, licensees, and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, actions, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments and awards, and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and consultancy fees), arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from your use of, or inability to use an Association product or service or other offering, whether based in contract or tort (including strict liability) and regardless of the form of action. An Indemnified Party may participate in the defense by counsel of its own choosing, at its own cost and expense. You shall not settle any claim that adversely affects an Indemnified Party or imposes any obligation or liability on an Indemnified Party without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent. 

13. Assumption of Risk:

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AND ANY ACCOMPANYING MINOR, VOLUNTARILY ASSUME ALL RISKS AND DANGER INCIDENTAL TO ATTENDING AN EVENT OFFERED BY US, WHETHER OCCURRING BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER THE EVENT, AND YOU WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, ILLNESS, DAMAGE, LOSS, CLAIM, LIABILITY, OR EXPENSE OF ANY KIND AGAINST THE ASSOCIATION AND ITS AGENTS, SPONSORS, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS, AND EMPLOYEES (EACH A “RELEASED PARTY”). 

14. Arbitration:

THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY, AS THEY MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT

Resolving Disputes

Before either party may file a claim against the other, we both agree to try to participate in good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes before starting an arbitration or initiating an action in small claims court (“Informal Dispute Resolution”). You and the Association agree that as part of these efforts, either party has an option to ask the other to meet and confer telephonically (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you must also personally participate.

To initiate Informal Dispute Resolution, a party must give notice in writing to the other party (“Notice”). Such Notice to the Association that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to information@laphil.org, or regular mail to our offices located at 151 S. Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90012. The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of the Dispute. The Association will send Notice and a description of the Dispute to your email address or regular address on file.

The Informal Dispute Resolution process lasts 45 days and is a mandatory precondition to commencing arbitration. The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree. The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in Informal Dispute Resolution.

Agreement to Arbitrate

You and the Association agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms of Use and/or our relationship through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under “Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate” below. This agreement to arbitrate and the associated arbitration provisions will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future Released Party (as defined above) to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, the provision of content, services, and/or technology through, and/or use of the Site or our products and services.

Location of Arbitration

The arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles, California, or any other location as agreed upon between you and the Association. You and the Association further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in California, to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Opt-out of Agreement to Arbitrate

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by sending a letter to the Association that must be postmarked within 30 days of your first acceptance of terms containing an arbitration provision or by sending an email to information@laphil.org within the same time period. The letter or email must specify your first and last names, mailing address, and explain that you are opting out of the these Terms’ arbitration provision. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, the Association will not be bound by them either.

Arbitration Procedures

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 1-800-352-5267 (referred to as the “JAMS Rules”) and under the rules set forth in these Terms of Use. We may also mutually agree in writing to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based on written submissions.

Arbitration and Attorney’s Fees

You will be required to pay the applicable fee for consumer arbitrations when initiating the arbitration. The Association will pay all other arbitration fees, unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be frivolous. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expert witness costs unless the Association is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the JAMS streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and JAMS comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. The Association and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation, motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment, will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Association and you agree not to seek any attorneys’ fees and expert witness costs unless the arbitrator finds that a claim or defense was frivolous or asserted for an improper purpose. In which case, either party may be awarded attorneys’ fees and costs if permitted by law. The Association and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, the Association and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The Association and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

Severability; Waiver of Jury Trial

Except as explicitly provided herein, if any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect. In the event some or all of these arbitration provisions are determined to be unenforceable for any reason, or if a claim, dispute or controversy is brought that is found by a court to be excluded from the scope of these arbitration provisions, the Association and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate

Either you or the Association may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court with jurisdiction over the claim, provided the informal dispute resolution described above was unsuccessful. Either party may bring a lawsuit alleging intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

No Class Actions

The Association and you agree that each party may only resolve disputes with the other party on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. We agree that class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND THE ASSOCIATION ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER, EACH PARTY MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ARBITRATION, YOU SHOULD OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION AS STATED ABOVE OR CEASE USING OUR SITE AND OUR SERVICES.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

Survival

This Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your account or your use of our services.

Judicial Forum for Disputes

In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, or for claims not subject to arbitration, you and the Association agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Los Angeles, California. Both you and the Association consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

Choice of Law

You agree that the arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and not by any state law concerning arbitration. Although we have made no effort to publish the Site elsewhere, it is accessible throughout jurisdictions worldwide due to its presence on the Internet. Each of these other jurisdictions have laws which may differ from those of California and from each other. Both you and the Association benefit from establishing a predictable legal environment in which to publish, access and use the Site. By publishing, accessing, and/or using the Site, you agree that all matters arising from or relating to the use and operation of the Site will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. If you choose to access the Site from locations other than Los Angeles, California, you will be responsible for compliance with all local laws of such other locations.
