To facilitate Influencers’ promotional efforts and to track the success of each Influencer, the Services generate a Web address for each Campaign (as defined below) that is unique to each Influencer (“Custom URL”). Influencers may post Custom URLs via External Sites and receive compensation based upon (i) an applicable cost-per-click rate multiplied by the total number of valid Custom URL clicks, (ii) an applicable cost-per-install of a mobile application of other software multiplied by the total number of valid installations or (iii) any other method for calculating compensation agreed to between an Influencer and SocialBook.

17. Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH SOCIALBOOK AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM SOCIALBOOK.

You and SocialBook agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising from or relating to these Terms (including the breach, termination, enforcement, arbitrability, interpretation, or validity hereof) or your use of the Services, shall be submitted to and determined exclusively by binding arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C §§ 1 et seq. (“FAA”), except for claims for which arbitration is unavailable as a matter of law. Notwithstanding the above, you and SocialBook are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable, injunctive and/or provisional relief pending the outcome of arbitration, including that for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights. You and SocialBook further agree that the arbitrability of any dispute between the parties, including whether or to what extent the arbitration agreement is unconscionable or otherwise unenforceable, is a decision that will be submitted exclusively to the arbitrator, and will not be decided by any federal or state court. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. By agreeing to binding arbitration as provided herein, each party waives his/her/its right to have any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services decided in court by a judge or jury. You and SocialBook agree: (a) that any arbitration will occur in San Mateo County, California; and (b) that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the "JAMS Rules") as in effect at the time of submission. The JAMS Rules are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/.

All disputes, claims or controversies to be arbitrated in accordance with this Section shall be submitted in writing within the time period of limitations applicable to the claim(s) involved. The written submission shall state with specificity the issues to be submitted to arbitration and the relief sought. Copies of the submission and demand for arbitration shall be served by registered mail on the other party to the dispute and simultaneously upon the local office of JAMS. Copies to be served on SocialBook must be addressed to: 1633 Bayshore Hwy, Burlingame, CA94010. The parties shall use one arbitrator for each case, who will be selected under the applicable rules of JAMS. The arbitrator will have the authority to consider and grant motions resolving all or part of any claim, using the standards under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; this includes motions to dismiss if the claim is untimely under the applicable law and/or motions for summary judgment. The arbitrator will also have the authority to allow discovery in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules. The arbitrator will require the parties to identify their witnesses and exhibits in advance of any evidentiary hearing; will permit cross-examination of each witness presented; and will allow for post-hearing briefs if requested by either party. The arbitrator will have the authority to award relief on the same basis as in court: i.e., damages permitted by the applicable statutory or common law that is the subject of the claim, provided that the arbitrator's award of damages must be consistent with the terms of the "Limitation of Liability" section above as to the types and amounts of damages for which a party may be held liable. The arbitrator will render an award in writing, setting forth the reasons supporting his/her decision. That decision will be final and binding, except for any appeal permitted by the FAA.

The costs and fees of JAMS and of the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties to the dispute, claim, or controversy.

You and SocialBook also knowingly and voluntarily agree that there shall be no class actions, collective actions, representative actions or multiple-individual claims of any kind. YOU AND SOCIALBOOK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. To the extent a class, collective or representative claim may not be waived, you and SocialBook agree to stay any such claims until after all claims subject to arbitration are fully resolved. Further, unless both you and SocialBook agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, collective or class proceeding.
