one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually agreed upon
in writing by the parties.
- Amicable resolution. Before resorting to
the other alternatives below, we strongly encourage you to first
contact us directly to seek an amicable resolution through dialog.
- Alternative Dispute Resolution. Alternatively,
Ranchville will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute
through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation,
as an alternative to litigation.
- Binding Arbitration. For any Claim (excluding
Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total
amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, you or Ranchville
may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration
conducted by telephone, on-line and/or based solely upon written
submissions where no in-person appearance is required. If in-person
appearance is required, it shall be held in Santa Clara County,
California or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties.
In all such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by
the
American Arbitration Association or
JAMS in accordance with their applicable rules, or any other
established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
- Court. Alternatively, any Claim may be
adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in
Santa Clara County, California or where the defendant is located
(in our case Fremont, California, and in your case your home
address or principal place of business). You and Ranchville agree
to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located
within the county of Santa Clara, California.
All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief)
between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution
mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the
first party to file a Claim. Should either party file an action
contrary to this Section 21, the other party may recover attorneys'
fees and costs up to $1000, provided that the party seeking the
award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly
filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.
21. GENERAL INFORMATION

and conditions that may apply when that user uses affiliate services,
third party content or third party software. The Terms and the relationship
between each user and Ranchville shall be governed by the laws of
the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions
and each party shall submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction
of the courts located within the county of Santa Clara, California.
