- Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
14.1 Informal Resolution. If you or GAMEFLIX have any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to GAMEFLIX or these terms (“Dispute”), the parties agree to work in good faith to resolve the Dispute informally. If you have a Dispute, you must first contact GAMEFLIX and give GAMEFLIX an opportunity to resolve it by contacting GAMEFLIX by mail at GAMEFLIX Corporation, ATTN: Legal, 2788 San Tomas Expressway, Santa Clara, California, 95051. Either you or GAMEFLIX may seek to have a Dispute resolved in the applicable courts in your country of residence or the applicable courts in closest proximity to your residence at any time before an arbitrator is appointed, and you may also bring a Dispute in the small claims court in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.
14.2 Binding Arbitration. For any Disputes that are not resolved informally or by the applicable court, you and GAMEFLIX each agree to resolve any such Dispute by binding arbitration before an arbitrator from Judicial Mediation and Arbitration Services ("JAMS") (rules available at https://www.jamsadr.com/). Except as otherwise provided in this section, all issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including jurisdictional and arbitrability issues and the formation, existence, validity, interpretation, and scope of this arbitration provision. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California (or the nearest JAMS office to Santa Clara County), unless you request an in-person hearing in your hometown or you and GAMEFLIX agree otherwise. You and GAMEFLIX agree that the parties will arbitrate all Disputes, remedies, and requests for relief subject to individual arbitration first, the arbitrator will only determine issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted, and the arbitrator may only award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. You and GAMEFLIX agree that any remaining unresolved Disputes, remedies, or requests for relief may be pursued in court only after the arbitrator’s award has been issued. In any later court proceeding, the arbitrator’s factual findings will not be entitled to deference by the court. Nothing in these terms will prevent a party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts in any jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened violation of that party’s data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights. If for any reason this Section 14.2 is unenforceable concerning any Dispute, and a Dispute proceeds in a court of general jurisdiction, the Dispute will be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in Santa Clara County, California.
14.3 Class Action, Representative Action, & Jury Trial Waiver. All Disputes must be brought by a party in its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You and GAMEFLIX agree to waive the right to a jury trial, participate in class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, any collective, consolidated, or other proceeding or request for relief where someone acts in a representative capacity.
14.4 Right to Opt-Out. You may opt-out of the foregoing jury trial, class action, arbitration, and collective or consolidated proceeding waiver provision by notifying GAMEFLIX in writing within 30 days of commencement of use of GAMEFLIX, within 30 days of the effective date of this Agreement, or within 30 days of any future change GAMEFLIX may make to this Section 14.4. Such written notification must be sent by mail to GAMEFLIX Corporation, Attn: Legal, 2788 San Tomas Expressway, Santa Clara, California, 95051 and must include (1) your name, (2) your address, (3) the reference to GAMEFLIX as the service to which the notice relates, and (4) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve disputes through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt-out. Any opt-out notification received after the opt-out deadline or not including the required items noted in (1)-(4) in the preceding sentence will not be valid and you will be required to pursue your Dispute in arbitration or small claims court. Opting out of this dispute resolution procedure will not affect the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which still apply to you. If you opt-out of any future change GAMEFLIX may make to this Section 14.4, the most recent version of Section 14.4 before the change you rejected will apply.
14.5 Governing Law. You and GAMEFLIX each agree that all Disputes will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, in addition to the internal substantive laws of the State of Delaware and the United States, without regard to or application of its conflict of laws rules or principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly disclaimed. Any translation of this Agreement is done for local requirements and, if there is a dispute between the English and any non-English versions, you and GAMEFLIX agree that the English version of this Agreement will govern to the extent not prohibited by local law in your jurisdiction.
