ARBITRATION NOTICE

​

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

By agreeing to these Terms, you and MOWiiU™ knowingly and voluntarily agree that, except for matters expressly excluded from arbitration under these Terms or applicable law, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, your use of the Services, or the relationship between you and MOWiiU™ shall be resolved through final and binding arbitration on an individual basis.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you and MOWiiU™ waive any right to have an arbitrated dispute decided by a jury.

This arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and applicable California law.

​

Location and In-Person Arbitration

Any arbitration required under these Terms shall be conducted in person in Los Angeles County, California, before a single neutral arbitrator.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the arbitration shall be administered by a mutually agreed-upon arbitration provider under that provider’s applicable rules.

Arbitration shall not be conducted remotely, by video conference, telephone, or other electronic means unless both you and MOWiiU™ expressly agree in writing to conduct the particular arbitration remotely.

​

If the parties do not expressly agree in writing to remote arbitration, the arbitration shall proceed in person in Los Angeles County, California.

Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to travel to a location that applicable law prohibits MOWiiU™ from requiring the consumer to attend.

​

Informal Resolution

Before initiating arbitration, the parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally as described in Section 19 of these Terms.

​

Important Rights

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND, IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES, HAVE A JURY DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS. YOU FURTHER UNDERSTAND THAT ARBITRATION MAY INVOLVE DIFFERENT PROCEDURES, INCLUDING LIMITATIONS ON DISCOVERY AND APPELLATE REVIEW, THAN A COURT PROCEEDING.

​

California Consumer Rights

Nothing in these Terms is intended to waive, limit, or interfere with any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be waived under California law.

California residents retain all non-waivable rights and remedies available under applicable California consumer protection laws, including rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) and other applicable statutes.

​

Court Relief

Nothing in this arbitration provision prevents either party from seeking temporary, preliminary, or emergency injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction when such relief is permitted by applicable law and is necessary to preserve the status quo or prevent immediate and irreparable harm.

​

Severability

If any portion of this arbitration provision is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that portion shall be severed or modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law.

BY USING THE MOWiiU™ SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, INCLUDING THE REQUIREMENT THAT ARBITRATION BE CONDUCTED IN PERSON IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, UNLESS BOTH PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING.

Nothing in this Section prevents the application of federal law where federal law governs a particular claim or dispute.

 

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION & BINDING ARBITRATION

Informal Resolution Requirement

Before initiating arbitration, the complaining party shall first provide written notice describing the nature of the dispute, the facts supporting the claim, and the requested relief.

The parties shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the notice to attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally.

The informal resolution requirement does not prevent either party from seeking emergency or temporary relief from a court when such relief is permitted by applicable law.

​

Agreement to Arbitrate

Except for matters expressly excluded below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, your use of the Services, or the relationship between you and MOWiiU™ shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration on an individual basis.

​

Claims Excluded From Arbitration

The following matters are not required to be arbitrated to the extent applicable law permits them to proceed in court:

• Claims eligible for small claims court;

• Claims concerning the ownership, validity, infringement, or misappropriation of intellectual property rights where court proceedings are permitted by law;

• Requests for temporary, preliminary, or emergency injunctive or equitable relief;

• Matters that applicable law prohibits from being subject to arbitration; and

• Any other claims that the parties cannot legally agree to arbitrate.

Nothing in this Section requires either party to waive rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

​

Arbitration Location

Any arbitration required under these Terms shall be conducted in person in Los Angeles County, California.

The arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator.

Arbitration shall not be conducted remotely, by video conference, telephone, or other electronic means unless both you and MOWiiU™ expressly agree in writing to conduct that particular arbitration remotely.

If there is no written agreement permitting remote arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted in person in Los Angeles County, California.

​

Arbitration Provider and Rules

The parties shall attempt to mutually agree upon an arbitration provider and applicable arbitration rules.

If the parties cannot agree upon an arbitration provider, the provider and/or method of appointment shall be determined in accordance with applicable law.

The arbitration shall be conducted under procedures consistent with the FAA and applicable California law.

​

Arbitrator's Authority

Subject to applicable law, the arbitrator shall have authority to determine the arbitrability, formation, enforceability, and scope of the arbitration agreement and to resolve the merits of the arbitrated dispute.

The arbitrator may award remedies that would otherwise be available to the party under applicable law for an individual claim, subject to the limitations contained in these Terms and applicable law.

​

Waiver of Jury Trial

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH PARTY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE AN ARBITRATED DISPUTE DECIDED BY A JURY.

Nothing in this provision requires a party to waive a jury-trial right for a claim that is properly required to proceed in court and for which a jury-trial right cannot lawfully be waived.

​

Class Action Waiver

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CLAIMS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION MUST BE BROUGHT IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION.

​

The arbitrator shall not have authority to consolidate claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding unless applicable law requires otherwise.

If applicable law determines that this class-action waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim shall proceed as required by applicable law, while all remaining claims subject to arbitration shall remain subject to arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law.

​

California Consumer Rights

Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to waive, limit, or prohibit any non-waivable rights, remedies, or protections afforded to California residents or other consumers under applicable law.

​

Severability of Arbitration Provision

If any portion of this arbitration provision is found unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that portion shall be severed or modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

20. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law or severed to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

 

21. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

These Terms, together with the MOWiiU™ Privacy Policy and any applicable supplemental terms or separate written agreements, constitute the agreement between you and MOWiiU™ concerning your use of the Services, except where a separate agreement expressly governs a particular transaction, submission, license, distribution arrangement, educational program, or other relationship.

If a separate written agreement specifically governing particular content, services, transactions, or programs conflicts with these Terms, the separate written agreement shall control solely with respect to the subject matter governed by that agreement.

 

22. VENUE & JURISDICTION

For disputes that are not subject to arbitration and that may lawfully be brought in court, you agree, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.

Nothing in this provision limits any non-waivable right a consumer may have under applicable law to bring a claim in another court or venue.

 

23. NON-WAIVER

MOWiiU™'s failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of that provision or of MOWiiU™'s right to enforce that provision in the future.

Any waiver must be made in writing by an authorized representative of MOWiiU™ to be effective.

 

24. HEADINGS; SECTION NUMBERS

The section numbers, headings, titles, and captions contained in these Terms are provided solely for convenience and ease of reference and shall not affect the meaning, interpretation, scope, or enforceability of any provision of these Terms.

Upon termination, provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall remain in effect, including provisions concerning intellectual property, User Content, indemnification, limitations of liability, dispute resolution, governing law, and other provisions intended to survive termination.

Termination does not automatically terminate rights or obligations established under a separate written agreement unless that agreement provides otherwise.

 

26. PRIVACY

Your use of the Services is also governed by the MOWiiU™ Privacy Policy, which describes how MOWiiU™ collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects personal information.
