These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, USA.\u00a0 Any claims arising from the use of the Site must be resolved through binding arbitration conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles, California, except to the extent that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate UELG\u2019s intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights). Under such circumstances, UELG may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Site or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein.<\/p>\n

Arbitration is the exclusive method for resolving disputes, and you waive the right to resolve such claims through court proceedings or other means.
