14. Arbitration Agreement. Most user concerns can be resolved quickly and to the user's satisfaction by emailing support@vinyldreams.com. In the unlikely event we are unable to resolve your complaint to your satisfaction informally, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim you may have against Vinyl Dreams in arbitration on an individual basis (no class actions) in accordance with the rules then in effect with the American Arbitration Association for single arbitrators or in small claims court rather than in a court of general jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that you and Vinyl Dreams are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative

proceeding. Unless both you and Vinyl Dreams otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and Vinyl Dreams each

retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights. The arbitrator shall apply Massachusetts law to the merits of the dispute or claim, without reference to conflicts of law rules. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. However, if your claim for damages does not exceed $75,000, Vinyl Dreams will pay all such fees, unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your demand for arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).

In the event that the agreement to arbitrate or any provision herein is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Vinyl Dreams agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions or injunctive relief) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Suffolk County, MA. Both you and Vinyl Dreams consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there.

15. General Provisions. These Terms of Service, along with the Privacy Policy and any other Vinyl Dreams guidelines or rules, constitute the entire agreement between you and Vinyl Dreams regarding your use of our Service, which supersede and replace any prior written or oral agreements regarding the foregoing. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision in these Terms is not a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision in these Terms, for any reason, is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions will continue, unimpaired, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. The rights or obligations to use the Service are personal to you and are not assignable, and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void and without effect. These Terms will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any conflicts of laws principles that would require the application of the law of a different state or jurisdiction. Any claim relating to these Terms must be filed within one year of the date the claim arose or else is waived by you.
