If we are notified of any content on the Website provided by you (e.g., through an author chat or user forum, online review or comment posted on the Website) that qualifies as Prohibited Material, we may investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove or request the removal of such content from the Website. We may disclose any content or electronic communication of any kind (i) to satisfy any law, regulation, or court/government order or request; (ii) if such disclosure is necessary or appropriate to operate our Website; or (iii) to protect our rights or property as well as that of our Providers and any other user.
We reserve the right to prohibit conduct or communication that we deem in our sole discretion to be harmful to us, to individual users, to the Website, to our Providers, to the communities that use the Website, or to any third party, or which we believe to violate any applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither we nor any of our Providers can assure other users will comply with the foregoing Rules of Conduct or any other provisions of this Agreement, and, as between you and us, you hereby assume all risk of harm or injury resulting from any such lack of compliance. Furthermore, neither we nor any of our Providers can ensure prompt removal of questionable content.

The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
The Website is created and controlled by us in the State of California, and resides on servers in California. As such, the laws of the State of California will govern this Agreement, without giving effect to any principles directing the choice of another jurisdiction’s laws. The parties understand and agree that the exclusive venue shall be in courts of competent jurisdiction sitting in Los Angeles, California.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreement, their enforcement or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of their provisions, shall be determined by binding arbitration. The arbitration proceedings shall be held and conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. Such arbitration shall occur in Los Angeles, California and be initiated by any party in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The demand for arbitration shall be made by any party hereto within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen, and in any event shall not be made after the date when institution of legal proceeding, based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question, would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitrator shall render a decision within twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the hearing(s). In reaching a decision, the arbitrator shall have no authority to change, extend, modify or suspend any of the terms of this Agreement, or to grant an award or remedy any greater than would be available from a court under the statutory or common law theory asserted. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of California or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. It is the arbitrator’s responsibility to allocate all costs and expenses of the arbitration (including legal and accounting fees and expenses of the respective parties) to the parties in the proportions that reflect their relative success on the merits (including the successful assertion of any defenses). The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion that includes the factual and legal basis for any decision and award. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek, from a court of competent jurisdiction, provisional remedies or injunctive relief in order to protect our intellectual property rights and to support our rights and remedies hereunder without waiving any right to arbitration.
You agree to indemnify and hold us, our Providers, and our and their subsidiaries, affiliates, and respective officers, agents, partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (1) your use of the Website or Services in violation of this Agreement ; (2) a breach of this Agreement; (3) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; and (4) any content that you post on the Website or through the Services.
This Agreement is accepted upon your use of the Website or Services. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Website and Services. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.
