(i) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and Truth Voice agree that if you are a Subscribing Organization or a consumer resident of a jurisdiction other than those in the section below, the following governing law and arbitration provision applies:
You and Truth Voice agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms of Use or your use of the Truth Voice Services, except that you and Truth Voice are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Truth Voice agree that you will notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to Truth Voice shall be sent to:
Urlo, Inc.
100 Millpond Plantation Way

You and Truth Voice further agree to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; that any arbitration will occur in Santa Clara County, California and that the state or federal courts in Santa Clara County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of the State of California and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Truth Voice will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.
(ii) If you are a resident in any jurisdiction in which the provision in the section above is found to be unenforceable, then any disputes, claims, or causes of action arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use will be governed by and construed under the laws of your jurisdiction of residence, and shall be resolved by competent civil courts within your jurisdiction of residence.
