This Agreement is governed by and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the state of California, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the state of California. Any disputes arising out of or related to the relationship of the parties hereto, including but not limited to this Agreement will be submitted to the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) in the JAMS office in Los Angeles, California for arbitration before a single arbitrator in accordance with JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration rules. A copy of these rules can be found at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. The parties hereto may seek, and the arbitrator may grant injunctions or other equitable relief allowed under applicable law (including without limitation pursuant to JAMS emergency procedures) in such dispute or controversy; however, this does not preclude the right of the parties hereto to seek injunctive relief separately, in a court of competent jurisdiction, where permitted under the terms of the contract(s) of the parties hereto, including but not limited to this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator is final, conclusive, and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Any arbitration award may be entered as a judgment in any appropriate court. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties will share the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the prevailing party is entitled to recover their reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. At the election of either party hereto, and notwithstanding any of the foregoing, such party may also seek immediate injunctive relief from an appropriate court. The parties hereto agree that the enforceability of this mutual agreement to arbitrate is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. This mutual agreement to arbitrate does not prevent either party from participating as a witness or provided testimony in any proceeding. The parties hereto acknowledge that this mutual agreement to arbitrate means that each party is waiving their right to a jury trial.
13. General. Nothing in this Agreement establishes an agency, partnership or joint venture between the parties, or relationship of employer or employee, between the parties (or between either party and the other party’s personnel). Headings are included for convenience only and will not be used to construe the Agreement. In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision hereof (which will remain in effect), and the parties agree thereafter to use their best efforts to substitute a provision of similar economic intent and effect.
