  15. Miscellaneous (Including Dispute Resolution and Arbitration) 15.1. Notice ATFA may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to the Terms, by email, regular mail, postings on the Services, or other reasonable means. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after email is sent, unless ATFA is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the Services. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing. Notices posted on the Services are deemed given 30 days following the initial posting. Any notices directed to ATFA shall be sent by first class U.S. Mail to ATFA at 773 Kohler Rd, Burbank, WA 99323 with a copy sent by email to ATFA. 15.2. Waiver No right or provision of the Terms will be considered waived by ATFA’s failure to exert or enforce such right or provision. Any waiver of any term of the Terms must be in writing and signed by ATFA in order to be effective. 15.3. Governing Law Without giving regard to any considerations of conflicts of law that would require the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, the Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in conformity with the laws of the State of Washington. 15.4. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration THIS SECTION AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS, SO READ IT CAREFULLY. YOU GIVE UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES IN COURT AND HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION. 15.4.1. Generally. In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, ATFA and you agree that any legal or equitable claim, dispute, action or proceeding arising from or related to your use of the Services or these Terms (“Dispute”) will be resolved as follows to the fullest extent permitted by law: 15.4.2. Notice of Dispute. In the event of a Dispute, you or ATFA must give the other a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute, and a proposed solution (a “Notice of Dispute”). You must send any Notice of Dispute by first class U.S. Mail to ATFA at 773 Kohler Rd, Burbank, WA 99323 (my edit) with a copy sent by email to ATFA. ATFA will send any Notice of Dispute to you by first class U.S. Mail to your address if ATFA has it, or otherwise to your email address. You and ATFA will attempt in good faith to resolve any Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After sixty (60) days, you or ATFA may commence arbitration. 15.4.3. Binding Arbitration. Any Dispute which has not been resolved by negotiation as provided herein within sixty (60) days or such time period as you and ATFA may otherwise agree, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration as described in this Section 15.4 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration). You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all Disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. The place of arbitration shall be Ben Franklin County, WA. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award. 15.4.4. Class Action Waiver. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any Dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor ATFA will seek to have any Dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. You may file a Dispute only on your own behalf and cannot seek relief that would affect other Users. If there is a final judicial determination that any particular Dispute cannot be arbitrated in accordance with the limitations of this Section 15.4 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), then only that Dispute may be severed and brought in court. All other Disputes remain subject to this Section 15.4 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration). 15.4.5. Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) in effect at the time the Dispute is filed. You may request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the JAMS Rules. In a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. To the extent the forum provided by JAMS is unavailable, ATFA and you agree to select a mutually agreeable alternative dispute resolution service and that such alternative dispute resolution service shall apply the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief to you only individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim. 15.4.6. Arbitration Fees. Whoever files the arbitration will pay the initial filing fee. If ATFA files, then ATFA will pay; if you file, then you will pay unless you get a fee waiver under the applicable arbitration rules. Each party will bear the expense of that party’s attorneys, experts, and witnesses, and other expenses, regardless of which party prevails, but a party may recover any or all expenses from another party if the arbitrator, applying applicable law, so determines. 15.4.7. Filing Period. To the extent permitted by law, any Dispute under these Terms must be filed within one (1) year in an arbitration proceeding. The one-year period begins when the events giving rise to the Dispute first occur. If a Dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred. 15.4.8. Venue. In the event that any Dispute cannot be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with this Section 15.4 (Dispute Resolution and Arbitration), you agree that such Dispute will be filed only in the state or federal courts in and for Ben Franklin County, WA and each of you and ATFA hereby consent and submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating any such action. Notwithstanding this, ATFA shall still be allowed to apply for injunctive or other equitable relief to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights in any court of competent jurisdiction. 15.5. Severability If any provision of the Terms or any Guidelines is held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be limited or eliminated from the Terms to the minimum extent necessary and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. 15.6. Assignment The Terms and related Guidelines, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you without ATFA’s prior written consent, but may be assigned by ATFA without consent or any restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of the Terms shall be null and void. 15.7. Survival Upon termination of the Terms, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration, including, but not limited to, Sections 2 (Privacy Policy), 4 (Modification of the Terms) through 6 (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), 7.1 (Proprietary Materials), 7.4 (Non-Commercial Use), 7.5 (Crediting ATFA), and 8 (Prohibited Conduct) through 15 (Miscellaneous (Including Dispute Resolution and Arbitration)). 15.8. Headings The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of the Terms, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. 15.9. Entire Agreement The Terms, the Privacy Policy and Guidelines constitute the entire agreement between you and ATFA relating to the subject matter herein and will not be modified except in writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to the Terms, Privacy Policy or Guidelines made by ATFA. 15.10. Disclosures The Services are hosted in the United States, and the services provided hereunder are offered by ATFA: PO Box 1630, Mountain View, CA 94042. 15.11.
