XIII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION POLICY

A. BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS SECTION OF THE TERMS CONTAINS A BINDING “ARBITRATION CLAUSE” AND “CLASS ACTION WAVIER.” PLEASE CAREFULLY REVIEW THE PROVISIONS BELOW, AS THE BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE REQUIRES YOU TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES WITH REEL ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS (RATHER THAN ON A CLASS BASIS) AND, WITH LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION.

1. Arbitration Agreement.
(a) REEL and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to this Agreement, your use of our Website, or your registration for or participation in our 2e Program, except any disputes or claims which under governing law are not subject to arbitration, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted and to make all disputes and claims between us subject to arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law.The agreement to arbitrate otherwise includes, but is not limited to: claims based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before this or any prior Agreement; claims relating to your data privacy or information security; and claims that may arise after the termination of this Agreement. However, any dispute that you or REEL may have relating to copyrights, trademarks, or other intellectual property shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate.For the avoidance of doubt, this means that any claims that you or REEL have relating to intellectual property rights against the other, including seeking injunctive or other equitable relief, may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction.

For the purposes of this arbitration provision, references to “REEL,” “you,” and “us” shall include our affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of the Website or the 2e Program under this or prior Agreements between us relating to or arising from any aspect of your use of our Website or participation in our 2e Program. You agree that by entering into this Agreement, you and REEL are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative class action to the maximum extent permitted by law. This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement or your relationship with REEL for any reason.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”).The Notice to REEL should be addressed to: REEL, 2625 Middlefield Road, #422, Palo Alto, CA 9430-2516 (“Notice Address”).The Notice must describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute and set forth the specific relief that you seek from REEL (“Demand”).If REEL and you do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or REEL may commence an arbitration proceeding.

(c) The arbitration will be governed by the applicable Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA.The AAA Rules are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The AAA Rules may change from time to time, and you should review them periodically.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision, as well as the Agreement’s other terms and conditions, and the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any such dispute relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision or any other term of this Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any other part of this arbitration provision or Agreement is void or voidable. However if putative class or representative claims are initially brought by either party in a court of law, and a motion to compel arbitration is brought by any party, then the court shall decide whether this Agreement permits class or representative proceedings. For the avoidance of doubt, the court and arbitrator shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement, including with regard to the class and representative waiver provision. In any arbitration, the arbitrator shall follow the applicable law. The arbitrator shall not have the power to commit manifest errors of law or legal reasoning, and any award rendered by the arbitrator that employs a manifest error of law or legal reasoning may be vacated or corrected by a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error.

Unless REEL and you agree otherwise, any arbitration will be governed by the substantive laws of California, and hearings will take place in Santa Clara County. Case management and other hearings shall be heard via telephone unless otherwise agreed to.

During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by REEL or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or REEL are entitled. In arbitration, and to the extent otherwise permitted by law, the parties may exchange “offers of compromise” or stipulate to judgments or awards in the same way the parties could in court, including, for example, under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 998 for arbitrations taking place in California. Such offers of compromise shall have the same force and effect as they would in a court proceeding. The arbitration proceedings shall otherwise remain confidential, except for the purposes of seeking court intervention (if necessary).

(d) Discovery and/or the exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the dispute will be governed by the AAA Rules.

(e) YOU AND REEL 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 TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.If this specific subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable in its entirety, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void.However, if only a portion of this subparagraph (e) is found to be unenforceable, then the unenforceable portion of the provision shall be stricken, and the remainder of subparagraph (e) enforced.Any claims or causes of action seeking relief not subject to individual arbitration under applicable law shall be stayed in a court of competent jurisdiction pending completion of individual arbitration to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if REEL makes any change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the Notice Address) after your use of the Website or registration in the 2e Program, you may reject any such change and require REEL to adhere to the language in this arbitration provision as written at the time of your registration if a dispute arises between us, by providing Notice to REEL at the Notice Address in subsection (b) above.

XIV. MODIFICATIONS TO THE WEBSITE AND THE 2E PROGRAM

REEL reserves the right at any time and for any reason to modify, or temporarily or permanently discontinue, the Website or 2e Program, or any portion thereof, with or without notice. You agree that REEL shall not be liable to you and/or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Website or the 2e Program.

XV. MISCELLANEOUS

The Terms set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms shall remain in full force and effect. Headings are for reference only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to any failure by you or others to comply with these Terms does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar failures. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent, and any assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void.

The Website and the 2e Program are controlled and operated by us from the United States, and are not intended to subject us to the laws or jurisdiction of any state, country, or territory other than that of the United States. These Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles.
