Lookback and our Customers have separately entered into agreements ("Contracts") that, among other things, allow them to invite or otherwise authorize you to use the Lookback Platform (in which case, you and any other such user will be referred to herein as an "End User" or simply as "you").

13. Severability
Should any provision of the Terms of Use be held invalid or unenforceable for any reason or to any extent, such invalidity or enforceability shall not in any manner affect or render invalid or unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use, and the application of that provision shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law.
14. Governing law and Arbitration
14.1 Governing Law
These Terms of Use are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 14.2 "Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes," the exclusive jurisdiction for all Disputes (defined below) that you and Lookback are not required to arbitrate will be the state and federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, and you and Lookback each waive any objection to jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
14.2 Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes
We each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Services (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Lookback agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and that you and Lookback are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.
14.3 Exceptions
As limited exceptions to section 14.2 above: (i) we both may seek to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property rights.
14.4 Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at (www.adr.org) or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at (www.adr.org).
Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.
14.5 Arbitration Costs
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules, and we won't seek to recover the administration and arbitrator fees we are responsible for paying, unless the arbitrator finds your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we'll pay all of our attorneys' fees and costs and won't seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
14.6 Injunctive and Declaratory Relief
Except as provided in section 14.3 above, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any claim asserted by either party and may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim. To the extent that you or we prevail on a claim and seek public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the public), the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual claims in arbitration.
14.7 Class Action Waiver
YOU AND LOOKBACK AGREE THAT EACH 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. Further, if the parties' Dispute is resolved through arbitration, the arbitrator may not consolidate another person's claims with your claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.
14.8 Severability
With the exception of any of the provisions in section 14.7 of these Terms ("Class Action Waiver"), if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction decides that any part of these Terms is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms will still apply.
15. Miscellaneous
15.1 Notices
Any notices or other communications provided by Lookback under these Terms of Use will be given: (i) via email; or (ii) by posting to the Lookback Platform. For notices made by email, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
15.2 Waiver of Rights
Lookback's failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Lookback. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms of Use, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms of Use will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms of Use or otherwise.
