Dispute Resolution
In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you and Best Fire Defense agree that any legal or equitable claim relating to this Purchase Agreement (referred to as "Claim") will be resolved as follows:

(a) Informal Resolution
You and Best Fire Defense agree that we will first try to resolve any Claim informally. Accordingly, neither of us may start a formal proceeding (except for Claims involving any violation of the federal trademark or copyright laws, or for injunctive relief) for at least 30 days after one of us notifies the other of a Claim in writing. Best Fire Defense will send its notice to your billing address, with a copy via email to your email address. You will send your notice to Best Fire Defense LLC, 3525 Del Mar Heights Road, San Diego, CA 92130.

(b) Formal Resolution
(i) Agreement to Arbitrate. Except as provided in Section VII(b)(iii) below, if we cannot resolve a Claim informally, we agree that any and all Claims either of us asserts shall be resolved solely through binding arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted under the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, including the rules for the exchange of non-privileged and relevant information, and under the rules set forth in these Terms of Use. If there is a conflict between AAA rules and the rules set forth in these Terms of Use, the rules set forth in these Terms of Use will govern. If you initiate the arbitration, you agree to pay a fee of $125 or, if less and you tell Best Fire Defense in writing, the amount that you would pay to initiate a lawsuit against Best Fire Defense in the appropriate court of law in your state. Other fees will be paid in accordance with AAA rules. The arbitration will be held at a location in your hometown area (meaning, the closest AAA dispute resolution center to your hometown) unless you and Best Fire Defense both agree to another location. In the arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Forms and other information on filing such a Claim can be found at www.adr.org.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE AS SET FORTH HEREIN, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE BOTH WAIVING OUR RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

(ii) Special Rules. You and Best Fire Defense agree that the type of arbitration in which we both agree to participate is between Best Fire Defense and you as an individual. YOU AND BEST FIRE DEFENSE ARE AGREEING THAT NEITHER OF US WILL UTILIZE OR ATTEMPT TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION PROCEDURES IN ANY ARBITRATION.

(iii) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) any Claim involving a violation of applicable trademark or copyright laws, or a Claim for injunctive relief, may be decided only by a federal court (or, for injunctive relief, federal or state court) in the County of San Diego, State of California, and (B) neither you nor Best Fire Defense shall be precluded from filing a Claim in small claims court for disputes within the small claims court jurisdictional level.

(c) Severability
You and Best Fire Defense agree that if Section VII(b)(i) is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall be severed from this Purchase Agreement and - in that event -- you and Best Fire Defense agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in California and agree that any Claim shall be exclusively brought in the appropriate state or federal court in the County of San Diego, State of California. You and Best Fire Defense also agree that if Section VII(b)(ii) is found to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then - regardless of the enforceability of Section VII(b)(i) -- any class action Claim shall be exclusively brought in the appropriate state or federal court in the County of San Diego, State of California and you agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in California.
