Arbitration

If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in a jurisdiction in which this Section is enforceable, the following mandatory arbitration provisions apply to you:

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
You and Cultured Focus Network agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Cultured Focus Network arising in connection with or relating in any way to these Agreements or to your relationship with Cultured Focus Network as a user of the Cultured Focus Network (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and whether the claims arise during or after the termination of the Agreements) will be determined by mandatory binding individual arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. There may be more limited discovery than in court. The arbitrator must follow this agreement and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorney fees), except that the arbitrator may not award declaratory or injunctive relief benefiting anyone but the parties to the arbitration. This arbitration provision will
survive termination of this Agreement.

Exceptions
Notwithstanding the above, you and Cultured Focus Network both agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a U.S. small claims court, (2) pursue enforcement actions through applicable U.S. federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (3) seek injunctive
relief in a court of law, or (4) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.

Arbitration rules
Either you or we may start arbitration proceedings. If you are located in, are based in, have offices in, or do business in the United States, any arbitration between you and Cultured Focus TV will be finally settled under the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in force (the “AAA Rules”), as modified by the Agreements. You and Cultured Focus Network agree that these Agreements affect interstate commerce, so the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply and govern the interpretation and enforcement of this provision (despite the choice of law provision above). The AAA Rules, as well as instructions on how to file an
arbitration proceeding with the
AAA, appear at adr.org, or you may call the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in New York, New York, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an inperson hearing
as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those fees set forth in the AAA’s Consumer Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse Cultured Focus Network for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the Arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement
of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
If you are not located in, are not based in, do not have offices in, and do not do business in the United States, any arbitration between you and Cultured Focus TV will be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC”) then in force (the “ICC Rules”) by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules, as modified by these Cultured Focus Network Terms, and will be administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC.
Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language and unless otherwise required by a mandatory law of a member state of the European Union or any other jurisdiction, the law to be applied in any arbitration shall be the law of the State of Indiana, UnitedStates, without regard to choice or conflicts of law principles.

Time for filing
Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration within ONE (1) YEAR after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission, or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period. If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitation period for
asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
Notice and Process
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that we do not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (“Notice”). Cultured Focus Network’s address for Notice is: Cultured Focus Network, Attn: Cultured Focus Magazine, Attention: Legal Department, 447 Broadway, 2nd floor # 275, New York, New York 10013, USA.
The Notice must (1) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the
Notice is received, you or Cultured Focus Network may commence an arbitration
proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Cultured Focus Network shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
All documents and information disclosed in the course of the arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for purposes of the arbitration or the enforcement of arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for such purposes or as required by applicable law. Except as required to enforce the arbitrator’s decision and award, neither you nor Cultured Focus Network shall make any public announcement or public comment or originate any publicity
concerning the arbitration, including, but not limited to, the fact that the parties are in dispute, the existence of the arbitration, or any decision or award of the arbitrator.

Modifications
In the event that Cultured Focus Network makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to Cultured Focus Network’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending us written
notice within 30 days of the change to Cultured Focus Network’s address for Notice, in which case your account with Cultured Focus Network shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, shall survive.

Class Action Waiver

Where permitted under the applicable law, you and Cultured Focus Network agree thateach may bring claims against the other only in your or its individual capacity and not as aplaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action. Unless both youand Cultured Focus Network agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding
