13. Governing Law and Forum Choice. These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 14 “Dispute Resolution,” the exclusive jurisdiction for all disputes that you and PipeDreams are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in the Alameda County, and you and PipeDreams each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
    ‍
14. Dispute Resolution. We each agree that any dispute arising out of, relating to or concerning these Terms and the Services will be resolved by confidential, binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its arbitration rules then in effect available at www.jamsadr.com (except that discovery shall be permitted in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Further, each party agrees that all information related to any disputes and related arbitrations will remain confidential and not be disclosed to any third party, except as necessary for purposes of conducting allowed third party discovery within the arbitration and/or enforcing a final arbitral award in a court of competent jurisdiction. All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in Alameda, California. Each party will bear its own costs, fees, and expenses associated with any arbitration, except that the parties agree to split equally the costs and expenses of the arbitrator or panel and the conduct of the arbitration itself. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, you agree to bring any claim or dispute against PipeDreams within one year after the occurrence of the event giving rise to such dispute. YOU AND PipeDreams AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“Class Action Waiver”). Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with yours or PipeDreams’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

    2. Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between PipeDreams and you regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between PipeDreams and you regarding the Services. With the exception of the Class Action Waiver in Section 14 of these Terms, if any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect. You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without PipeDreams’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. PipeDreams may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

    3. Notices. Any notices or other communications provided by PipeDreams under these Terms will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Site. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

    4. Waiver of Rights. PipeDreams’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of PipeDreams. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
