Company, Epic, and Epic’s affiliates do not guarantee continuous, error-free, virus-free, or secure operation of or access to the Epic Materials. This paragraph will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

These limitations and exclusions regarding damages apply even if any remedy fails to provide adequate compensation.

 

Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, the liability of Company, Epic, Epic’s licensors, its and their affiliates, and any of Company’s or Epic’s service providers shall be limited to the full extent permitted by law.

In the event the parties are not able to resolve any Dispute between them arising out of or concerning these Terms, or any provisions hereof, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity for damages or any other relief, then, except as provided below, the parties hereby agree to submit any Dispute they cannot resolve informally to final and binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted remotely unless the arbitrator believes an in-person hearing is required, in which case the location of the arbitration hearing will be determined by JAMS rules.  The arbitrator will follow California law in adjudicating the Dispute. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm, correct or vacate the award. Interpretations of these Terms, including determinations of unconscionability, will be determined by the arbitrator selected through this provision. The arbitrator shall determine the scope and enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate, including whether any Dispute is subject to arbitration and shall rule on any defense, raised by a party hereto, that the claim(s) in question is exempt from this arbitration requirement. As part of the arbitration, the parties shall engage in the exchange and/or discovery of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute, in accordance with JAMS rules. 

 

The foregoing shall not apply to any claims that fall under the auspices of a small claims court of competent jurisdiction and either party may seek appropriate relief therein. The parties acknowledge and agree that any action with respect to your infringement or alleged infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights, claims that can be tried in small claims court, any action in which Company seeks equitable relief, or any other action that may not be submitted to arbitration under applicable law, including the enforcement of any arbitration ruling, shall be tried by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles County, California. For that limited purpose, you hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the State of California and agree that its laws will be used to resolve any Disputes hereunder.  

 

19. Class Action Waiver

 

Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both you and Company agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
