17. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
A. Mandatory Arbitration.
(i) YOU AND SHARAKU AGREE TO SUBMIT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES (each, a “Dispute”) to binding arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), which shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”). YOU AND SHARAKU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A DISPUTE HEARD IN COURT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both you and Sharaku retain the right to: (1) bring an individual action in small claims court (if your claim qualifies and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis); and (2) the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of either party’s copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, or any other intellectual property rights.
(ii) In arbitration, Disputes are resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, discovery is more limited than in court, and the arbitrator's decision is subject to limited review by courts. The arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court, including monetary damages, injunctive relief, and declaratory relief. Judgment on the arbitrator's decision and any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the Dispute. A single arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association ("AAA“) will conduct the arbitration, and the award may not exceed the relief allowed by applicable law and these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted in the county of your residence or another mutually agreed location, provided that if the value of the relief sought is $1,000 or less, you or Sharaku may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election will be binding on you and Sharaku, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you or Sharaku may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise. The AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply. If AAA will not apply those rules, then AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply. The AAA's rules and a form that can be used to initiate arbitration proceedings are available at https://www.adr.org/. You and Sharaku agree that if for any reason AAA will not conduct the arbitration, then a court may appoint a substitute arbitrator, and further agree that the choice of AAA as a forum is not integral or a mandatory condition to the Arbitration Agreement.
(iii) The arbitrator will decide all issues relating to the enforceability, interpretation, scope, and application of this Arbitration Agreement (including issues of arbitrability, whether the Arbitration Agreement is unconscionable or illusory, and any defense to arbitration), and these Terms, except that a court will resolve any question regarding the validity or enforceability of the class action waiver set forth in Section B of this Arbitration Agreement. The term "Dispute“ and the requirement to arbitrate will be broadly interpreted and applied.
B. Arbitration Class Action Waiver.
You and Sharaku agree that the arbitration will be conducted solely on an individual basis and not on a class, representative, consolidated, or private attorney general basis. A Dispute may not be consolidated with a claim brought or discovery by any person or entity that is not a party to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may not award relief to any person or entity other than a party to the arbitration proceeding and, subject to these Terms, may only award such relief as is necessary to provide relief to a party to the arbitration proceeding. If a court deems any portion of this Section B invalid or unenforceable, then Sections A and C of this Arbitration Agreement will be null and void.
C. Fees and Costs in Arbitration.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.
D. Non-Arbitration Class Action and Jury Waiver. You and Sharaku agree that if, for any reason a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration: (1) YOU AND SHARAKU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL; (2) the Dispute will proceed solely on an individual, non-class, non-representative basis; and (3) neither you nor Sharaku may be a class representative or class member or otherwise participate in any class, representative, consolidated, or private attorney general proceeding.
E. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS SECTION, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN COURT AND NOT BY ARBITRATION IF YOU OPT OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE EARLIER OF: (1) THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS, OR (2) THE DATE YOU FIRST AGREED OR ASSENTED TO AN AGREEMENT WITH SHARAKU THAT CONTAINED AN ARBITRATION PROVISION. The opt-out notice must be postmarked no later than the applicable deadline and emailed to support@sharaku.us. The opt-out notice must state that you do not agree to this Arbitration Agreement and must include your name, address, phone number, and email address. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, and failure to comply strictly with this procedure and the applicable deadline automatically will render the opt-out notice null and void. If you opt out of the arbitration provision, all other parts of this Arbitration Agreement will continue to apply.

18. Notice. All notices in connection with these Terms must be given by regular mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), courier, or overnight delivery service.

20. Other Terms.
(a) Injunctive Relief. Each party agrees and acknowledge that any access, use, disclosure, retention, or other processing of Sharaku Data or Submitted Data in violation of these Terms may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the disclosing party for which money damages may not constitute an adequate remedy. Therefore, each party agrees that the aggrieved party is entitled to seek to obtain specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief. The aggrieved party shall be entitled to such equitable relief in addition to all other remedies at law or in equity.
(b) Governing Law and Venue. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Nevada without respect to its conflict of laws provisions. Each party agrees to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Las Vegas, Nevada, excluding any Disputes subject to the dispute resolution procedures in Section 17 (Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver).
(c) Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid by any court or arbitrator having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms, which shall remain in full force and effect.
(d) Waiver. Failure by either party to act on or enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in these Terms. No waiver shall be effective unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance.
(e) Entire Agreement. Except as expressly agreed to in writing by both parties, these Terms and any order form agreed to by you constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter, and supersede all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter.
(f) Assignment. We may assign this Agreement including any of our rights and/or obligations without your consent. You may not assign or transfer any rights or obligations under the Agreement or your account to anyone without our consent and any assignment or transfer in violation of this Section is void.
(g) No Third Party Beneficiary. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights to any person who is not a party to this Agreement.
(h) Customer Support. We only offer support via email. We do not offer telephone or any other type of support.
(i) Survival. Provisions of the Terms relating to limitation of liability, indemnification, intellectual property, use of the Services, venue, governing law, and any other provisions that by their nature should survive, will survive the termination of these Terms.
