15. Dispute Resolution
(A) Arbitration
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Website or your use of the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.
The binding arbitration will be administered in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), in Los Angeles County, California, and at our option, such arbitration shall be before a single neutral arbitrator selected in our sole and absolute discretion. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under these Terms or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of Los Angeles County, California.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the provisions of these Terms as a court would. The prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must provide POP THE PIXEL with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration Rules available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules.
If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, then the dispute will be handled in the state or federal Los Angeles County, California, courts. The prevailing party in arbitration will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. By using the Services or Website, you irrevocably agree and consent to be bound to personal jurisdiction of and venue selection of the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY ISSUE RELATING TO THESE TERMS IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR ANY OTHER MATTERS INVOLVING YOU AND POP THE PIXEL.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS USER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE DECISION-MAKER MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
