- Resolution of Disputes.

is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the
dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Neighborhood Grill agree that any claim
or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our services
("Claims") shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below
or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties. Before resorting
to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly
to seek a resolution and we 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 Neighborhood Grill
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. In 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 Orange County, California or where the defendant is located (in
our case Rancho Santa Margarita, California, and in your case your home address
or principal place of business). You and Neighborhood Grill agree to submit
to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Rancho
Santa Margarita, California.
- Alternative Dispute Resolution.
Alternatively, Neighborhood Grill will consider use of other alternative forms of
dispute resolution, such as binding arbitration to be held in Rancho Santa
Margarita, California or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties.
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 17, 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.
- General.
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State
of California as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be
performed entirely within California between California residents. We do not
guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to our services, and
operation of the Site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of
our control. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable,
such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced.

to fees owed for our services, 3.4 (Release), 6.3 (License), 7 (Access and
