7.ARBITRATION.

(a) This Agreement will be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of California and the United States. The U.N.

The place of the arbitration will be San Francisco, California. The arbitrator(s) will have the authority to award actual money damages, specific performance, and temporary injunctive relief, but the arbitrator(s) will not have the ability to award exemplary or punitive damages, and the parties expressly waive any claimed right to such damages. The parties exclude any right of appeal to any court on the merits of the dispute. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the parties or their assets. Any dispute relating to the validity or effect of this arbitration clause, or to any arbitration arising thereunder, will be governed by the arbitration law of the arbitral site.

(c) The costs and expenses of the arbitration, but not the costs and expenses of the parties, will be shared equally by the parties; provided, that if the arbitrator(s) determine(s) that one party prevailed in the proceeding, then the other party will bear the entire cost and expense of the arbitration. The successful or prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and other costs incurred in connection with the proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. Except as otherwise required by law, the parties and the arbitrator(s) will maintain as confidential all information or documents obtained during the arbitration process, including the resolution of the dispute.

Neither party shall be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions; or other event outside the reasonable control of the obligated party. Both parties will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of such an event. If such event continues for more than ninety (90) days, either party may cancel this Agreement upon written notice.
