The ownership and proprietary rights provisions set forth in these Terms, the ARBITRATION section, and any other provisions that by their sense and context are intended to survive, will survive after the membership or subscription of an Organization or Participant is cancelled or terminated for any reason.

            K) ARBITRATION

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY. THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH MINDFUL PLANET.  THEY ALSO LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM MINDFUL PLANET.

All disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Products that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and Mindful Planet are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Arbitration Provision. Any Arbitration will be initiated through the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. You can find a copy of the AAA Rules online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. A single arbitrator will conduct any arbitration.If the claim is for $10,000 or less, the arbitrator may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county of your billing address. If a hearing in-person is required, the proceedings will be conducted at a location which is reasonably convenient for both Parties with due consideration of the ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the Parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination will be made by the arbitration institution.

Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the AAA Rules with the remainder paid by Mindful Planet. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the arbitration is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Mindful Planet for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

The arbitrator will decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Mindful Planet. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award all remedies available under applicable law, the arbitral forum's rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Mindful Planet.

You and Mindful Planet waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. Rather, you and Mindful Planet elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and Mindful Planet over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, you and Mindful Planet waive all rights to a jury trial and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

WHERE PERMITTED UNDER THE APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND MINDFUL PLANET AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor Mindful Planet are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in this section below.

YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. If you do so, neither you nor Mindful Planet can force the other to arbitrate. To opt-out, you must notify Mindful Planet in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Mindful Planet account, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt-out of this arbitration agreement. You must send your opt-out notice to the following physical address: Mindful Planet, ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out, 4742 N. 24th Street - Suite 300, Phoenix, AZ  85016. 

            L) CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE

Except to the extent they are preempted by U.S. federal law, Arizona law will govern these Terms exclusively.

To the extent the Parties are permitted under these Terms to initiate litigation in a court, both Parties agree that all claims and disputes arising out of or relating to the Terms or the use of the Products will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona or the Superior Court in Maricopa County Arizona. The Parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of this court and waive their respective rights to make any claim regarding improper venue.

            M) SEVERABILITY

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
