15. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY AS IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE YOUR DISPUTE TRIED BEFORE A JURY. 

15.1. Initial Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim relating to these Terms (including the Privacy Policy), the Site, or the Service (“Dispute”), both you and us shall first use best efforts to informally negotiate a resolution to such Dispute for at least thirty (30) days prior to initiating any formal proceeding. This informal negotiation period will commence upon written notice from one party to the other.  

15.2. Binding Arbitration

If you and we do not reach an agreed-upon solution within the informal Dispute resolution period, then, subject to the terms below, the Dispute will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.  Either you or we may elect to initiate binding arbitration, and the election to arbitrate a Dispute by one party shall be final and binding on the other.  

Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other and/or your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by a single arbitrator of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The AAA’s rules are publicly available for your review at https://www.adr.org/Rules.  

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on you and us and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.  Nothing in this Section shall in any way limit either party’s rights to bring a limited proceeding in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration pursuant to these Terms, to stay a pending proceeding in favor of arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.  

You understand and hereby agree that, by accepting these Terms, you are waiving the right to bring a lawsuit in court and to have your claims heard by a jury.  You further acknowledge and agree that, absent this mandatory provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial; and 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.  

15.3. Location

Binding arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California and the proceeding shall be conducted in English.  To the extent permitted by the AAA’s rules, you may choose to participate in arbitration remotely by videoconference or teleconference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Los Angeles County, California, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

15.4. Class Action Waiver

You and us further agree that any arbitration or other permitted action shall be limited to the Dispute between you and us, and shall be conducted in you and our individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and that you and us expressly waive our rights to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. You and we agree that each of us may bring claims against the other only in your or our individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. 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 provision set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

15.5. Exception for Intellectual Property Claim

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 14, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to enforce its intellectual property rights, which shall include any claim arising out of patents, copyrights (excluding moral rights to the furthest extent permissible by law), trademarks, and trade secrets, but which shall expressly exclude any claims arising from an individual’s right to privacy or right of publicity.  Any proceeding pursuant to the exception in this Section 14.5 shall be subject to the choice of law and consent to jurisdiction set forth in Section 14.3.

15.6. Right to Opt-Out

You have a limited right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: Beem Enterprises LLC, 312 Arizona Avenue, Santa Monica, CA 90401 and via email at legal3@watchbeem.com, with subject line LEGAL OPT OUT. To be effective, opt-out notice must be received by us within 30 days of your first use of the Site or Service, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the Terms herein. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.  

15.7. Changes to this Section

We will provide sixty days’ notice of any changes to this Section 14 via email to the email address associated with your account, through the Service itself, or through any other appropriate measures determined by us in our sole discretion. Changes will become effective on the 60th day from such notice and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 60th day.

16. GENERAL TERMS

16.1. Entire Agreement and Assignment

These Terms (together with the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Service and supersede any prior agreements, oral or written, between you and us. We may assign our rights and (where permitted by applicable law) obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, to any person or entity acquiring all or substantially all of our assets or business.  You may not assign your rights and duties under these Terms, in whole or in part, to any third party without our prior written consent.  

16.2. Governing Law

These Terms and your relationship with us shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to any jurisdiction, state or country’s choice or conflict of law rules.  The parties agree that, for any proceeding to compel arbitration or any Dispute not subject to arbitration, the state or federal courts of the State of California in Los Angeles County shall have exclusive jurisdiction to enforce all of the Terms and the parties hereby consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue before such courts.  You further agree to accept service of process by first-class mail, return receipt requested, and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses that may otherwise be available to you. 

16.3. Waiver and Severability, Headings

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms is found by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, both you and us nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect, including in the case of a finding of invalidity of the entirety of these Terms.  The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
