Governing Law, Venue, Jurisdiction, and Territorial Limitation
By visiting or using the Site and/or the
Service, you agree that the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles
of conflict of laws, will govern these Terms of Use and any dispute of any sort
that might arise between you and the Company or any of our affiliates. With respect

controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the use of this Web Site or these
Terms of Use, including any breach thereof, shall be submitted to binding arbitration
administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration
Rules. Any arbitration shall be conducted in New York, New York. Judgment on the
award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Without
limiting the foregoing, where iyuda or you makes a good faith determination that
a breach of these Terms of Use by the other (including infringement of intellectual
or proprietary rights) is such that a temporary restraining order or other injunctive
relief is the only appropriate and adequate remedy, such action may proceed without
first resorting to arbitration as described herein.
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS MAY OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED IN REGARD

manner infringed upon or violated or threatened to infringe upon or violate the
other party's patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret rights, or you have otherwise
violated any of the user conduct rules set forth above or in the Code of Conduct
then the parties acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and
that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought.
Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted by the American Arbitration
Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, in the case
of consumer disputes, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes
( the "AAA Consumer Rules") (collectively the "AAA Rules"). The location of the
arbitration and the allocation of costs and fees for such arbitration shall be determined
in accordance with such AAA Rules and shall be subject to the limitations provided
for in the AAA Consumer Rules (for consumer disputes). If such costs are determined
to be excessive in a consumer dispute, the Company will be responsible for paying
all arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation in excess of what is deemed reasonable.
The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any
court of competent jurisdiction.

THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING
