EMS and you agree to arbitrate in accordance with the procedures hereinafter set forth any and all disputes and claims between you and EMS except with respect to claims for amounts owed for services rendered.

The amount of any settlement offer made by you or EMS shall be non-discoverable and shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or EMS is entitled.

13.5. Rules of Arbitration. Any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in Santa Ana, California, in accordance with the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association.

13.6. Waiver of Judge or Jury Trial. You and EMS agree that, by entering into this agreement, you and EMS are waiving the right to a trial by judge or jury.

You and EMS agree that you and EMS may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. You and EMS agree that, unless you and EMS agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s or entity’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific waiver of class actions provision, or any portion thereof, is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this dispute resolution and binding arbitration provision shall be null and void.

13.8. Statute of Limitations. You must present a claim within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence of the event or facts giving rise to a dispute (except for billing disputes which are subject to section 10 and 11 of the agreement), or you hereby agree to waive the right to pursue a claim based upon such event, facts, or dispute.

13.9. Exceptions to Arbitration Agreement. Notwithstanding the obligation to arbitrate and any other provisions to the contrary herein, you and we agree that (a) with respect to claims for unpaid monthly or other charges payable by you to EMS under this Agreement, we may take our dispute to small claims court or any other court of competent jurisdiction if the amount of such claim exceeds the dispute limits of the small claims court; (b) if you fail to timely pay amounts due, we may assign your account for collection, and the collection agency may pursue in court claims limited strictly to the collection of the past due debt and any interest or cost of collection permitted by law or the Agreement; (c) you or we may take any disputes over the validity of any party’s intellectual property rights to a court of competent jurisdiction; (d) any dispute related to or arising from allegations associated with fraudulent or unauthorized use, theft, or piracy of service may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction; and (e) either you or we may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, necessary to protect the rights or property of you or EMS, pending the completion of arbitration. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts in Santa Ana, CA for any such court proceedings.

13.10. Modification of Arbitration Provisions. If EMS makes any substantive change to the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, you may cancel your service agreement with us and the arbitration provisions set forth in this Agreement shall remain in effect until such cancellation is complete.

13.11. Venue/Jurisdiction. All claims for Arbitration shall be submitted to and arbitrated in Santa Ana, California pursuant to the Rules of Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association. Any evidentiary or other hearings required by the Arbitrator shall be heard in Santa Ana, California.
