18. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION

18.1  The laws applicable to the interpretation of these Terms & Conditions shall be the laws of the United States and the laws of the State of California, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and excluding principles of conflict of laws.  Except as provided in Section 25 below, you irrevocably submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Francisco, California, for all disputes arising out of or related to your use of any of the Services.

18.2  The governing law does not impact your rights as a consumer according to the consumer protection laws and regulations of your country of residence. 

18.3  You acknowledge and agree that the Company would be irreparably damaged if the terms of these Terms & Conditions were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of these Terms & Conditions, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION –WITHIN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA

IF YOU RESIDE IN THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA (OR YOU BRING A CLAIM AGAINST THE COMPANY IN THE UNITED STATES OR CANADA), YOU ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING SECTION.  PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.

19.1  This provision shall apply to the resolution of any dispute arising out of or in any way related to the Services, this Agreement (and any amendments or addenda thereto), and the subject matter hereof, including without limitation any contract, tort, statutory or equity claims between you and us or our officers, directors, employees, agents, subsidiaries, or joint ventures (the “Dispute”); provided, however, that any claims specifically described in subparagraph (b) below will not be included in the definition of Dispute. You may also assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. In the event of any Dispute, the parties are encouraged to attempt to resolve the Dispute by informal means. If the parties are not able to do so, the Dispute will be resolved only by binding arbitration.

19.2  Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. Any Dispute shall be subject only to binding arbitration. The parties expressly agree that there shall be no jury trial or right to a jury trial, or right to any other proceeding to resolve any Dispute in any court. In the event of any Dispute, both parties agree that the arbitration provision in this Agreement will be governed, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1-9 (“FAA”) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

19.3  All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, and any ruling, decision or award by the arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties, and any party shall have the right to prevent any actual or threatened breach of this confidentiality provision by temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive, or declaratory relief in an appropriate court of law. This provision shall not prevent either party from filing a petition in court to confirm an arbitration award.

19.4  The parties expressly agree that any Dispute is personal to them, and any Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration. Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither party agrees that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons. The parties agree that that a Dispute may only be resolved through an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. If your agreement to waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration section will be null and void and neither you nor we will be entitled to arbitrate our dispute.

19.5  The arbitration of the Dispute will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or, in the event the AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, by an arbitration forum or arbitrator that you and we mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, you and we are unable to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, the AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Commercial Rules”) and, when deemed appropriate by the arbitration forum or arbitrator, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“Consumer Procedures”), or the appropriate rules of any alternative arbitration forum selected by you and us or appointed by a court, subject to the following modifications:

19.5.1  The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator who will be a licensed attorney or a former judge and will have at least five (5) years of legal experience in the resolution of commercial disputes.

19.5.2  As limited by the FAA, the terms of this Agreement, and the applicable AAA rules, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute. This does not include the power to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement as stated above. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration, and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, or any proceeding on behalf of or involving more than one person or persons.

19.5.3  The parties may take discovery through interrogatories, depositions and requests for production that the arbitrator determines to be necessary and appropriate.

19.5.4  The prevailing party in any of the following matters (without regard to the Limitation of Liability provisions) shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in any of the following circumstances:

(a)  a motion which any party is required to make in any court to compel arbitration of a Dispute;

(b)  any appeal of an arbitration award, whether to the arbitrator or the courts, for the purpose of vacating or modifying the award; or

(c)  any action to enforce the confidentiality provisions stated herein we will pay the amount of any arbitration costs and fees charged by the AAA for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. In no event will we pay for your attorneys’ fees unless required by law.

19.5.5  To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Volkinator Enterprises, 175 Willowgreen Place, Santa Rosa, CA 95403

19.5.6  You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location. The AAA Commercial Rules and Consumer Procedures, the forms you may need to begin the arbitration proceeding, and other information about the AAA, are available from the AAA, which can be contacted by mail at 1633 Broadway, Floor 10, New York, New York 10019, by telephone at (800) 778-7879, or through its website at www.adr.org.

19.6  This Agreement does not require you or us to submit to arbitration any Dispute involving our intellectual property rights in and to the websites or the Service, including, without limitation:

19.6.1  claims of infringement or misappropriation of any United States or foreign copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, service mark or trade dress;

19.6.2  claims alleging violations of Title 17 of the United States Code, Sections 1201 and/or 1202, or of any similar foreign law; or

19.6.3  in any matter that involves any of the foregoing claims, for resolution or decision of any question of fact or law required to resolve such claim, including, but not limited to, questions required to decide or rule with respect to the infringement, misappropriation, validity, enforceability or ownership of any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, service mark or trade dress or with respect to any remedy or relief at law or in equity for any such infringement or misappropriation or for any violation of such Sections 1201 and/or 1202.

19.7  With the exception of the provision above that the enforceability of this Section 25 is governed both procedurally and substantively by the FAA to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement otherwise will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts entered into and performed in California to the maximum extent permitted by law (and without giving effect to California’s conflict of law principles). This Agreement shall not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded. 

19.8  You and we acknowledge and agree that any violation of this Section 25 of this Agreement may cause the parties irreparable harm, and therefore you and we agree that the parties will be entitled to seek extraordinary relief in court, including but not limited to temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions without the necessity of posting a bond or other security, in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that the parties may have for a breach of this Section 25 of this Agreement.

19.9  With the exception of your agreement to waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action, if any other provision in this Section 25 is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, this Section 25 shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this section, and the remaining provisions of this section shall remain in full force and effect. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as part of this Section 25 legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the former provision.

20. LIMITATION OF TIME PERIOD TO COMMENCE ANY DISPUTE

20.1  Regardless of any statute of limitations or law to the contrary, and to maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute arising out of or related to the Services or this Agreement must be filed within six (6) months after the date in which the incident giving rise to the Dispute occurred; provided that, if the substantive law applicable to the arbitration prohibits the parties from agreeing to this limitations period, then the limitations period under the applicable substantive law shall control. The failure of a party to file an arbitration claim within the applicable limitations period shall constitute a waiver by that party of its right to bring such a claim relating to any Dispute in any form, and a complete bar to any claim based on any Dispute, and the arbitrator shall not have jurisdiction to make a determination for a party that has not brought its Dispute for determination within the applicable limitations period.

21. GENERAL

211  These Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy contain the entire Agreement between you and the Company. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any competent court or authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions of this Agreement and the remainder of the affected provision shall be unaffected and shall remain in full force and effect.

21.2  The Agreement is not intended to create a partnership, joint venture or relationship of principal and agent between the parties.

21.3  No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be considered as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same provision or any other provision.

21.4  The Company may assign its rights under these Terms & Conditions to any person or entity without your consent. The rights granted to you under these Terms & Conditions may not be assigned without the Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void.

21.5  Clauses 20 to 27 inclusive will survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

21.6  Force Majeure

21.6.1  For the purposes of this clause 216, “Force Majeure Event” means any act or event beyond the reasonable control of the Company, including without limitation strikes, lock-outs or other industrial action by third parties, civil commotion, riot, invasion, terrorist attack or threat of terrorist attack, war (whether declared or not) or threat or preparation for war, fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster, or failure of public or private telecommunications networks.

21.6.2  the Company will not be liable for any failure to perform or any delay in performance of, any of its obligations under these Terms & Conditions caused by a Force Majeure Event.

21.6.3  In the event of a Force Majeure Event that results in Services being unable to be provided for 14 days or more, either party may terminate this Agreement with immediate effect upon written notice to the other and neither party will have the right to claim compensation from the other.

Dating Service Consumer Bill of Rights (New York)

1. 1. No social referral service contract shall require the payment by you, the purchaser, of an amount greater than one thousand dollars. In addition, no such contract may extend over a period of time greater than two years.
   2. No social referral service contract shall require you, the purchaser, to purchase a good or service which is directly or indirectly related to the social referral service. These extra services are known as ancillary services and, while these ancillary services may be offered to you, the law prohibits the seller from requiring that you purchase these services as a condition of your social referral service contract.
   3. If your social referral service contract costs more than twenty-five dollars, the seller must furnish a minimum number of referrals per month to you. [In the case of our Service, if you become a Subscriber, you will have access to all of the other users available through the Service.] If this minimum amount is not furnished to you for two successive months, you have the option of canceling the contract and receiving a full refund of all the money you paid, less a cancellation fee which cannot exceed either fifteen percent of the cash price or a pro rata amount for the number of referrals furnished to you.
   4. Your social referral service contract must specify the distance which you, the purchaser, are willing to travel to meet any social referral. No social referrals shall be furnished where you and the referral live at a distance greater than the distance specified in the contract.
   5. The provider must have an established policy to address the situation of your moving outside the area it services. This policy must be explained in your contract. [In the case of our Service, if you relocate your primary residence further than 50 miles from our service area and are unable to use the services of Volkinator Enterprises, you may elect to receive a refund of that portion of any payment you made for your subscription which is allocable to the period after your relocation. However, we will deduct from such refund a processing fee of ten dollars ($10.00).]
   6. If any provision of the social referral service contract is violated, you have the right to bring a court action against the provider which has violated the contract.
   7. Every contract for social referral service shall specify the distance which the buyer is willing to travel to meet any social referral. No social referral shall be furnished by the seller to the buyer if either the buyer or the social referral reside at a distance further than the distance specified in either the buyer’s or social referral’s contracts.
   8. Every social referral service provider must establish and administer a fair and reasonable policy for the situation in which a purchaser moves to permanently reside at a location outside the service area of such provider. This policy must be set forth in every contract for social referral service.
   9. (a) Whenever there shall be a violation of this section an application may be made by the attorney general in the name of the people of the state of New York to a court or justice having jurisdiction by a special proceeding to issue an injunction, and upon notice to the defendant of not less than five days, to enjoin and restrain the continuance of such violation; and if it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court or justice that the defendant has, in fact, violated this section, an injunction may be issued by the court or justice, enjoining and restraining any further violations, without requiring proof that any person has, in fact, been injured or damaged thereby. In any such proceeding, the court may make allowances to the attorney general as provided in paragraph six of subdivision (a) of section eighty-three hundred three of the civil practice law and rules, and direct restitution. Whenever the court shall determine that a violation of this section has occurred, the court may impose a civil penalty of not more than one thousand dollars for each violation.

In connection with any such proposed application the attorney general is authorized to take proof and make a determination of the relevant facts and to issue subpoenas in accordance with the civil practice law and rules, and direct restitution.

(b) Any person who has been injured by reason of a violation of this section may bring an action in his or her own name to enjoin such violation, an action to recover his or her actual damages or fifty dollars whichever is greater, or both such actions.

(c) In cities having a population over one million, the provisions of this section may be enforced concurrently with the attorney general by the director of a local or municipal consumer affairs office. In cities having a population over one million, such local entities may also require social referral services to be licensed. Such licensing requirements may be promulgated as are reasonably necessary to effectuate licensure, provided, however, that such localities may not impose substantive requirements that are inconsistent with or more restrictive than those set forth in this section. Any fee for such license may not exceed three hundred forty dollars for a two-year period.

Except as provided in our Privacy Policy, we will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer for business or for any other purpose to any person any information and material of a personal or private nature acquired from you directly or indirectly, including but not limited to answers to tests and questionnaires, photographs or background information.

If you so desire, you may place your subscription on hold for a period of up to one year. To exercise this right, you must send written notice of your intention to place your subscription on hold by certified or registered United States mail to us at the address specified above.

At the expiration of your subscription, you may request that we return you by certified mail all information and material of a personal or private nature that we received from you, including but not limited to answers to tests and questionnaires, photographs or background information.
