14. Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MVPCAST, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, assigns, and their past and present officers, directors and employees, representatives and agents from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of:
(a) any claim due to or arising out of your violation of these Terms, including but not limited to a claim arising out of a breach of your representations or warranties made hereunder;
(b) your use or misuse of or access to the Service;
(c) your violation of any law, regulation or third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right; or
(d) any claim that you or your UGC caused damage or loss to a third party.
MVPCAST reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify MVPCAST, and you agree to cooperate with MVPCAST's defense of these claims.
15. Release for Disputes between Users
MVPCAST does not control the actions of its Users. If you have a dispute with one or more Users, to the fullest extent permitted by law, you release MVPCAST (and MVPCAST's officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes.
16. Miscellaneous
(a) Assignment. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by MVPCAST without restriction.
(b) Waiver and Severability. The failure to require performance of any provision shall not affect either MVPCAST's or your right to require performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or default of these Terms constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or default or a waiver of the provision itself. If any portion of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, such portion will be modified to reflect the parties' intention and only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
(c) Consent to Electronic Communications. By using the Service, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in the Privacy Policy. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
(d) Choice of Law and Forum. These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules. If a lawsuit or court proceeding is permitted under these Terms, then you and MVPCAST agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located within San Diego County in the State of California.
(e) Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
(i) Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and MVPCAST in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and MVPCAST agree that every dispute arising out of or in any way related to these Terms or your use of the MVPCAST Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, except as provided in this Section 16(e). Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms or your use of the MVPCAST Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND MVPCAST ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
(ii) Exceptions. Despite the provisions of Section 16(e)(i), nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
(iii) Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and MVPCAST will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org or by contacting MVPCAST.
(iv) Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or by electronic mail (“Notice”). MVPCAST's address for Notice is: sb@MVPCAST.com and support@MVPCAST.com. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or MVPCAST may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or MVPCAST must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, MVPCAST will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by MVPCAST in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $250. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
(v) Fees. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Diego County, California If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse MVPCAST for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.
(vi) No Class Actions. YOU AND MVPCAST AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and MVPCAST agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
(vii) Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If MVPCAST makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to MVPCAST's address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to MVPCAST's address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
(viii) Enforceability. If Section 16(e) is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 16(e) is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 16(e) will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 16(d) will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
(f) Headings. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of these Terms, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
(g) Entire Agreement. This is the entire agreement between you and MVPCAST relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to these Terms or policies made by MVPCAST as set forth above.
(h) No Agency. No agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.
(i) No Third Party Beneficiaries. The parties specifically disavow any desire or intention to create a "third party" beneficiary contract, and specifically declare that except for rights of third parties in certain intellectual property as described in Section 2(a), no person, except for the parties and their permitted assigns, shall have any rights hereunder nor any right of enforcement hereof.
