  1. Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or to the products and services sold or distributed through this Site, will be submitted for arbitration to the American Arbitration Association (AAA). YouBar shall have the right in a proper case to obtain temporary restraining orders, temporary or preliminary injunctive relief and/or declaratory relief (other than declarations with respect to the amount of money damages) from a court of competent jurisdiction.

The arbitration proceedings shall be heard by one independent arbitrator who shall be an attorney or retired judge. The arbitration shall be held in Los Angeles, California and in accordance with the then-existing Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. All matters within the scope of the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. 1, et seq.) will be governed by it and not by any state arbitration law. You and YouBar waive any rights to maintain other available resolution processes for such disputes, such as a court action or administrative proceeding. You and YouBar waive any right to a jury trial for such disputes.

In reaching a decision, the arbitrator shall follow these Terms, shall be bound to apply the applicable law and shall not rule inconsistently with the applicable law. The arbitration shall be conducted on an individual basis, and not as a consolidated, common, representative, group or class. The arbitrator shall include in the arbitration award any relief the arbitrator deems proper in terms of money damages (with interest on unpaid amounts from the date due at the maximum rate allowed by law). The award of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Other than as may be required by law, the entire arbitration proceedings (including, but not limited to, any rulings, decisions or orders of the arbitrator), shall remain confidential and not be disclosed to anyone other than the parties to this Agreement.

Any and all claims and actions arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be commenced within one (1) year from the occurrence of the facts giving rise to such claim or action, or such claim or action shall be barred.

You agree that you will not file a class action against YouBar, or participate in a class action against YouBar. You agree that you will not file or seek a class arbitration, or participate in a class arbitration, against YouBar.

  1. Severability

  1. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

The exclusive jurisdiction for any dispute not covered by the terms of the Arbitration provision set forth in these Terms may be filed only in the state or federal courts located in the State of California, County of Los Angeles.
