Dispute Resolution
Any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of the Terms, the services provided on the Site, or the DYC Content (“Claims”) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) selected from and administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its applicable rules. The arbitration hearing shall be held in San Francisco, California. The prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party of its reasonable attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration. Either you or DYC may seek interim or preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in San Francisco, California, as necessary to protect the rights or property of you or DYC pending the completion of any arbitration proceeding.
General
The Terms constitute the entire and exclusive and final statement of the agreement between you and DYC with respect to the subject matter hereof, and govern your use of the Site, superseding any prior agreements or negotiations between you and DYC with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Terms and the relationship between you and DYC shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice of laws or principles that would require the application of the laws of a different country or state.
DYC’s 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 to be invalid by either a court of competent jurisdiction or the Arbitrator, you and DYC nevertheless agree that the court or the Arbitrator should endeavor to give effect to your and DYC’s intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use the Site or the Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in the Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
