DISPUTES
You hereby consent to arbitration if any dispute is to arise, except for the enforcement of Concord Music's or its affiliates' intellectual property. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the State of New York without regard to choice of law principles. Any dispute related to these Terms and Conditions or our Website must be resolved exclusively through binding non-appearance-based arbitration administered by JAMS, an alternative dispute resolution provider. In the event of a dispute, you or Concord Music must send to the other party a notice of dispute in writing, setting forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving notice, the facts of the dispute and the relief requested. You may initiate a dispute by sending us a notice to the address listed in the NOTICES section below. We will send a notice to you at the contact information we have for you. You and Concord Music agree to try to resolve a dispute through informal negotiation upon notice of a dispute for a period of 60 days. If you and Concord Music are unable to resolve the dispute in such 60 days, then you or Concord Music may commence arbitration. You and Concord Music agree that a dispute will be heard before a single neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN A COURT OF LAW BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and Expedited Procedures or JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, at the election of the party initiating the arbitration. Information regarding these rules can be found on the JAMS website at www.jamsadr.com. In addition, you and Concord Music agree that the following rules shall apply to the arbitration proceedings: (a) the arbitration shall be conducted, at the option of the party seeking relief, by telephone, online or based solely on written submissions; (b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sales of Goods shall have no applicability.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, YOU AGREE THAT NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM AND NO CLASS ARBITRATION SHALL BE PERMITTED. In no event shall any claim, action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Website be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.
If the foregoing arbitration clause does not apply for any reason, you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York County, New York for the purposes of litigating any applicable claim.
