9.1 Arbitration.
The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. Except for disputes relating to LocalDot’s or its licensor’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents), all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms and your use of the Service shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator, and not any court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court; provided, however, that the arbitrator will not have authority to award damages, remedies, or awards that conflict with these Terms. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, LocalDot will pay the additional cost. You agree not to participate in claims brought in a private attorney general or representative capacity, or consolidated claims involving another person’s account, if LocalDot is a party to the proceeding. This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.

10. General Provisions
10.1 Force Majeure.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, no default, delay, or failure to perform on the part of either Party will be considered a breach of this Agreement if such default, delay, or failure to perform is shown to be due to causes beyond reasonable control of the Party charged with a default, including, but not limited to, causes such as strikes, lockouts or other labor disputes, riots, civil disturbances, actions or inactions of governmental authorities or suppliers, epidemics, war, embargoes, severe weather, fire, earthquakes, acts of God or the public enemy, nuclear disasters, or default of a common carrier.
10.2 Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to conflict of laws principles. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in the State of California with regard to any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Parties hereby disclaim and exclude the application hereto of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
10.3 Export Control.
In its use of the Service, Customer agrees to comply with all export and import laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Customer represents and warrants that it is not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties or located in (or a national of) a country that is subject to a U.S. government embargo or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country, (ii) Customer shall not (and shall not permit any of its users to) access or use the Service in violation of any U.S. export embargo, prohibition or restriction, and (iii) Customer shall not submit to the Service any information that is controlled under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
10.4 Injunctive Relief.
Customer acknowledges and agrees that any breach of its obligations with respect to Confidential Information and intellectual property rights may cause substantial harm to LocalDot, which could not be remedied by payment of damages alone. Accordingly, Customer hereby agrees that LocalDot will be entitled to seek preliminary and permanent injunctive relief in any jurisdiction where damage may occur without a requirement to post a bond, in addition to all other remedies available to it for any such breach.
10.5 Independent Contractors.
The relationship of the Parties established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement will be construed to (i) give either Party the power to direct and control the day-to-day activities of the other; (ii) constitute the Parties as partners, joint ventures, co-owners, or otherwise as participants in a joint or common undertaking; or (iii) allow either Party to create or assume any obligation on behalf of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever.
10.6 Binding Effect.
This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their successors, and permitted assigns.

No modification of, or amendment to, this Agreement will be effective unless in writing signed by an authorized representative of both Parties.
10.8 Partial Invalidity.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions will, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect, and such provision will be reformed in a manner to effectuate the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible and remain enforceable. If such reformation is not possible in a manner that is enforceable, then such term will be severed from the remaining terms, and the remaining terms will remain in effect.
10.9 No Waiver.
No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement will be valid or binding on either Party unless the same will have been mutually assented to in writing by an officer of both Parties. The failure of either Party to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance by the other Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way affect the ability of either Party to enforce each and every such provision thereafter.
