THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ALL EXHIBITS AND ANY DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, AND SUPERSEDES ALL PRIOR OR CONTEMPORANEOUS AGREEMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS OR REPRESENTATIONS, WRITTEN OR ORAL, REGARDING SUCH SUBJECT MATTER.

1. Informal Negotiations: To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either Licensee or URDesigns (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
2. Jurisdiction & Governing Law: This Agreement will be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, and, where such laws are preempted by the laws of the United States, by the internal laws of the United States, in each case without regard to
a. conflicts of laws principles, and
b. the applicability, if any, of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any dispute arising out of or related to this agreement that is not subject to arbitration (below), shall be heard in the Superior Court of California in and for the County of Los Angeles, USA and the parties hereby consent to the exclusive venue and jurisdiction of such court. Customer hereby waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-convenience.
3. Disputes & Arbitration: Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Long Beach, California before one (1) arbitrator. The arbitrator must be a retired judge from Los Angeles County, California (or if none is available, a retired judge from a neighboring county). The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those Rules. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any party may give the other party written notice of any dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within 30 days of such notice. management level representatives of both parties shall meet by telephone or videoconference to attempt to resolve the dispute in good faith without recourse to legal proceedings. Should the dispute not be resolved within 30 days after such notice (or as extended by mutual written agreement of the parties), the complaining party shall seek remedies exclusively through arbitration. The demand for arbitration shall be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arising, and in no event shall it be made after two years from when the aggrieved party knew or should have known of the controversy, claim, dispute, or breach. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the negotiation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts, and attorneys shall be treated as confidential settlement discussions under California law. The arbitrator(s) may proceed to an award notwithstanding the failure of the either party to participate in the proceedings. It is the intent of the parties that, barring extraordinary circumstances, arbitration proceedings will be concluded within one hundred and twenty days from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit in the interests of justice. Failure to adhere to this time limit shall not constitute a basis for challenging the award. The arbitrator(s) will be authorized to grant interim relief, including to prevent the destruction of materials or documents involved in the dispute, and to protect trade secrets. The award of the arbitrators will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties and will be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, subject only to revocation on grounds of fraud or clear bias on the part of the arbitrator(s). Notwithstanding this, application may be made to any court for a judicial acceptance of the award or order of enforcement. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the Hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
4. Class Action Waiver: The parties expressly waive any ability to maintain any class action in any forum. Any arbitration, claim or other proceedings by or between you and URDesigns shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in any class action, mass action, or on a consolidated or representative basis. You further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief or to combine or aggregate similar claims or unrelated transactions. You acknowledge and agree that these Terms specifically prohibits you from commencing arbitration proceedings as a representative of others. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
5. Injunctive Relief & Specific Performance: You agree that breach of the provisions of this Agreement (including those incorporated by reference such as the EULA) would cause irreparable harm and significant injury to URDesigns which would be both difficult to ascertain and which would not be compensable by damages alone. As such, you agree that URDesigns shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement by injunction (without necessity of posting bond or proving actual damages), specific performance, or other equitable relief without prejudice to any other rights and remedies URDesigns may have for your breach, or threatened breach, of this Agreement.
If you ordered or make use of any URDesigns Deliverables from any individual or entity other than URDesigns directly, the following terms and conditions shall apply:
1. Definitions: For purposes of this Section 13, the term “URDesigns Agreement(s)” shall include without limitation, the URDesigns Purchase Agreement(s), URDesigns EULA, CSSA, and any documents incorporated by reference therein. “VAR Partner” means an entity that URDesigns has authorized as a “distributor” or “reseller” of URDesigns Software. “VAR Partner Sales Agreement means the orders, agreements or other documents between you and a VAR Partner for your purchase, license, use or procurement of URDesigns Deliverables.
2. Effect of VAR Partner Sales Agreements: If you ordered or make use of URDesigns Deliverables through a VAR Partner, then this Agreement is not exclusive of any rights you obtain from the VAR Partner under your VAR Partner Sale Agreement; however, VAR Partner’s may not modify the terms and conditions of any URDesigns Agreement(s) or bind URDesigns to any terms or conditions, nor is URDesigns bound by any terms or conditions set forth in any VAR Partner Sales Agreement; VAR Partner(s) are not agents of URDesigns and URDesigns is not responsible for (and shall not be liable for or bound by) any statements, promises, acts, omissions or other conduct of VAR Partners); if there is any conflict between the provisions of any URDesigns Agreement(s) and any VAR Partner Sale Agreement(s), then the provisions of the URDesigns Agreement(s) shall prevail. If a VAR Partner has granted you any rights that URDesigns does not also directly grant to you under your agreements with URDesigns, or that conflict with any URDesigns Agreements), then your sole recourse with respect to such rights is against the VAR Partner. With respect to URDesigns Deliverables, VAR Partner may act as your agent/representative in this transaction and Delivery by URDesigns to VAR Partner shall constitute Delivery to you. If URDesigns software, applications, goods, or services are procured via a purchase order submitted to URDesigns by a Reseller and accepted by URDesigns, the term “Purchase Agreement” shall include such purchase order to the extent of the goods and services itemized therein and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 14.0.2 (Conflicting terms) in the STC (“Standard Terms and Conditions”) and/or Section 13.0 (Purchases from a Reseller).
3. Payments & Recourse: If you ordered or make use of any URDesigns Deliverables through a VAR Partner, your VAR Partner Sale Agreement (and/or Purchase Agreements) might specify that your payments are to be made to VAR Partner (or third party); if URDesigns does not receive any and all amounts due to URDesigns for any reason (such as failure of VAR Partner or third party to timely pay URDesigns), then URDesigns may suspend, terminate, or withhold any URDesigns Deliverables, with or without notice to you. You agree that your remedy in the event of such recourse by URDesigns or any other dispute arising from or relating to a VAR Partner Sale Agreement (or other transaction involving a VAR Partner or third party), is solely against the VAR Partner (or third party) and that URDesigns is not liable to you in any manner for any such recourse or dispute.
