With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts of California, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of California.
Arbitration
YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT, EXCEPT
AS MAY OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED IN REGARD TO SPECIFIC SERVICES ON THE SITE
IN ANY SPECIFIC TERMS APPLICABLE TO THOSE SERVICES, THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE
FORUM AND REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RELATING IN ANY

BE FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, except that: (a) to the extent that
either of us has in any 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

injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought; and (b) no disputes

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.
