These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of laws rules.
ARBITRATION: Except for claims for injunctive or equitable relief relating to IP or data security, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its applicable rules. Except as required by applicable law, you agree to maintain confidentiality and request the arbitrator to maintain confidentiality of all aspects and outcomes of the arbitration. Except a party may disclose information regarding the arbitration to: (i) enforce this clause or an arbitration award or (ii) seek provisional remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator will not have authority to award damages greater than $100. Judgment on the award of the arbitrator may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that the arbitration award will be final and binding without appeal or review except as permitted by governing law. The arbitration proceedings will take place in Santa Clara County, California and be conducted in English.
Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver: Disputes must be brought in an individual capacity, not as a class/collective action; the arbitrator may award relief only to the extent necessary to remedy your individual claim. YOU AND KLA AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND KLA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.
