- Governing Law/Waiver of Injunctive Relief
-
This Agreement and all aspects of the Service shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the internal laws of the United States and the State of California governing
contracts entered into and to be fully performed in California (i.e., without regard to conflict
of laws provisions) regardless of your location. With respect to any disputes or claims not
subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to
commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and
federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and you hereby consent to, and
waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to,
venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County,
California.
-
You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to Friendgiftr
are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm Friendgiftr
and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that Friendgiftr shall be
entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or
surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all
rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for
monetary damages (if any).
-
Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute,
controversy or claim related to this Terms ("Dispute"), you and Friendgiftr agree to first
attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below)
informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding.
Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other.
You will send your notice to Friendgiftr, Inc. 1680 N. Vine Street Suite #327, Hollywood, CA
90028.
-
Binding Arbitration. If you and Friendgiftr are unable to resolve a Dispute through
informal negotiations, either you or Friendgiftr may elect to have the Dispute (except those
Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.
Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN
COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and,
where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes
("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The
determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the
Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration
fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and,
where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the
arbitrator to be excessive, Friendgiftr will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The
arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or
online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of
reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any
award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, you and Friendgiftr may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings
pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered
by the arbitrator.
-
Restrictions. You and Friendgiftr agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute
between Friendgiftr and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (1) no
arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right or authority for any Dispute
to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is
no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on
behalf of the general public or any other persons.
-
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and Friendgiftr agree that the
following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations
and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the
validity of, any of your or Friendgiftr intellectual property rights; (2) any Dispute related to,
or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3)
any claim for injunctive relief.
- Waiver/Severability
-
The failure of Friendgiftr to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision
of these Terms or to exercise any right under them shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment of Friendgiftr's right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that
or any other instance.
-
You and Friendgiftr agree that if any portion of these Terms, except any portion of
section 12(e), is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of
competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or
enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the
remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect. If
Section 12(e) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Friendgiftr will
elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 12(e) found to be illegal
or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction
within the County of Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and
Friendgiftr agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

subject matter hereof, and cannot be changed or modified by you except as posted on the
Service by Friendgiftr. If any provision of these Terms is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, the Terms will be deemed curtailed to the extent necessary to make it legal
and enforceable and will remain, as modified, in full force and effect. No waiver by either
party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding
or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only
and shall not be given any legal import. Upon Friendgiftr's request, you will furnish
Friendgiftr any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your
compliance with these Terms. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against
Friendgiftr by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you
may have based on the electronic form of these Terms and the lack of signing by the parties
hereto to execute these Terms.
