Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver: You, Vocal Power, LLC and VPP agree that these Terms of Service affect interstate commerce and that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

The only disputes excluded from this prohibition are litigation of certain intellectual property and small claims court claims, as specified below:
You agree that in the event that you have a dispute with us, before taking formal legal action, you will contact us at assistant@vocalpowerpresents.com and provide a brief, written description of your dispute and your contact information. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement between them directly through consultation and good faith negotiations as a condition to either and both parties prior to initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.
All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to the Terms of Service or the Service that are not resolved by the procedure identified above shall be resolved by individual binding arbitration to be conducted before JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules, excluding any rules or procedures permitting class actions. You agree that any arbitration will be held in the County of New York in New York State unless the parties mutually agree the arbitration may be held elsewhere in the United States or by telephonic arbitration.
The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Service, including but not limited to any claim that all or a portion of these Terms of Service are void or voidable, or whether such claim is subject to arbitration.

The parties shall split the cost of such binding arbitration filing fees and arbitration fees unless the arbitrator find the arbitration frivolous. You are solely responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and expert witnesses unless applicable law passes any such fees to VPP.
You and we agree that such arbitration shall be conducted in the party’s individual capacity only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU, VOCAL POWER, LLC AND VPP 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 AN PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth herein in Section 10 and above is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set for above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agree to arbitrate disputes.
You or we may bring intellectual property disputes or actions in state or federal court with proper jurisdiction or in the US Patent and Trademark Office to protect intellectual property rights. You or we may also seek relief for small claims court claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction to the extent that such claims do not seek equitable relief

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE ABOVE DISPUTE PROCEDURES SHALL BE YOUR SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU, VOCAL POWER, LLC AND VPP REGARDING ANY ASPECT OF THE SITE OR SERVICE INCLUDING THE REGISTRATION, SUBSCRIPTION OR TERMINATION PROCESS, AND THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO LEAD OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT INVOLVING OTHER PERSONS, SUCH AS A CLASS ACTION.
