Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver:


(1) Company, including its Company Affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest,
successors, and assigns, and you agree that any Dispute (as defined herein) between you and
Company, regarding any aspect of your relationship with Company, will be resolved in a
binding, confidential, individual and fair arbitration process, and not in court.  Each of you and
Company agrees to give up the right to sue in court. 
(2) The term “Dispute” is to be given the broadest possible meaning that will be enforced, and
shall include any dispute, claim, demand, count, cause of action, or controversy between you
and Company, whether based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not

limited to, fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other intentional
tort), or any other legal or equitable theory.  The term “Dispute” specifically includes, but is not
limited to, any disputes, actions, claims, or controversies between you and the Company that
arise from or in any way relate to or concern any products or services provided by Company
including but not limited to the Company Services (as defined above), this Arbitration
Agreement, any other aspect of these Terms of Use (including their applicability and their
conformance to applicable law), any billing disputes, and any disputes relating to telephonic,
text message, or any other communications either of us received from the other.  The only
exceptions to this Arbitration Agreement are that (i) each of you and Company retains the right
to sue in small claims court and (ii) each of you and Company may bring suit in court against
the other to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.  Disputes over
whether these exceptions apply shall be resolved by the court in which such action has been
brought; all other disputes over arbitrability shall be resolved by the arbitrator. 
(3) Each of you and Company also agrees to give up the ability to seek to represent, in a
class action or otherwise, anyone but each of you and Company (see paragraph 9
below).  
(4) There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. 
An arbitrator must follow this Agreement.  The arbitrator, however, can award on an individual
basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or
statutory damages) provided that they are recoverable under this Agreement.  
(5) This Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal
Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration
Agreement.  This Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
(6) Any arbitration between you and Company will be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and
Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules &
Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this agreement to
arbitrate.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator, and if you and
Company cannot agree on who that single arbitrator will be, the arbitrator will be appointed
pursuant to the JAMS Rules, with the participation and involvement of Company and you
pursuant to JAMS Rule 12.  The JAMS Rules are available on its website at
https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/.  The Consumer Arbitration
Minimum Standards are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/.
The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.
(7) If either you or Company wants to arbitrate a claim, you or Company must first send by mail
to the other a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) that sets forth the name, address, and contact
information of the party giving notice, the specific facts giving rise to the Dispute, the Company
Service to which the Notice relates, and the relief requested.  Your Notice to the Company
must be sent by mail to: Arbitration Notice of Dispute, info@somosproductions.net.  The
Company will send any Notice to you at the contact information we have for you or that you
provide.  It is the sender’s responsibility to ensure that the recipient receives the Notice.  During
the first 45 days after you or we send a Notice to the other, you and we may try to reach a
settlement of the Dispute. 

(8) If you and we do not resolve the Dispute within 45 days, either you or we may initiate
arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Rules.  Further instructions on submitting a Demand
for Arbitration may be found
at http://www.jamsadr.com/files/Uploads/Documents/JAMS_Arbitration_Demand.pdf.  In
addition to filing this Demand for Arbitration with JAMS in accordance with its rules and
procedures, you must send a copy of this completed Demand for Arbitration to the Company at
the address listed above to which you sent your Notice of Dispute. 
 
(9) You and the Company acknowledge and agree to abide by the following rules for
arbitration:

(a) YOU AND COMPANY 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, REPRESENTATIVE OR MULTI-
CLAIMANT PROCEEDING, AND THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO POWER TO
AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF;
(b) the Company will pay arbitration costs as required by the JAMS Consumer
Arbitration Minimum Standards and consistent with this Agreement;
(c) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are
permitted by applicable law and the terms of this Agreement; and
(d) each side pays his, her or its own attorneys' fees, except as otherwise
provided below.
(10) JAMS charges filing and other fees to conduct arbitrations.  Ordinarily, the claimant has to
pay the filing fee to initiate arbitration, but if you wish to commence an arbitration against
Company, you and the Company acknowledge and agree to abide by the following:
ï‚· If you are seeking to recover less than $10,000 (inclusive of attorneys’ fees), Company will pay
the filing fee on your behalf or reimburse your payment of it.
ï‚· If you are seeking to recover $10,000 or more, you will have to pay the filing fee charged by
JAMS, but Company will reimburse the filing fee if you prevail on all claims decided upon by the
arbitrator.
ï‚· Company and you agree that, if the claims to be arbitrated total less than $10,000 (inclusive of
attorneys’ fees), the claim ordinarily should be decided on written submissions only, without a
telephonic or in-person hearing. Company will not request a hearing for any claims totaling less
than $10,000.  This provision shall not be construed by the arbitrator to deprive you of any
rights you may have to a telephonic or in-person hearing in your hometown area pursuant to
the JAMS Rules.
ï‚· Company and you agree that, if the claims to be arbitrated total $10,000 or more, the arbitration
will occur in a manner and place consistent with the JAMS Rules.

(11) Regardless of how the arbitration proceeds, each of you and Company shall cooperate in
good faith in the exchange of non-privileged documents and information as necessary in
accordance with the JAMS Rules, and the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision
sufficient to explain his or her findings and conclusions.
(12) Each of you and Company may incur attorneys’ fees during the arbitration.  Each side
agrees to pay his, her or its own attorneys' fees unless the claim(s) at issue permit the
prevailing party to be paid its attorneys' fees, and in such instance, the fees awarded shall be
determined by the applicable law(s). In addition to whatever rights you may have to recover
your attorneys’ fees under applicable law, if you prevail in the arbitration, and if Company failed
to make a settlement offer to you before the arbitration or the amount you win is at least 25%
greater than Company’s highest settlement offer, then Company will pay your reasonable
attorneys’ fees in addition to the amount the arbitrator awarded.  If Company wins the
arbitration, you will be responsible for your own attorneys’ fees.  In addition, if the arbitrator, at
the request of the winning party, finds that the losing party brought a claim or asserted a
defense frivolously or for an improper purpose, then regardless of the amount in dispute, the
arbitrator must order the losing party to pay both sides’ arbitration fees and may order the
losing party to pay the winning party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, unless such an award of fees
is prohibited by applicable law.
(13) The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party
seeking relief, only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual
claim, only as permitted by applicable law, and only to the extent that declaratory and injunctive
relief are permitted by this Agreement.  The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive,
exemplary, multiplied or consequential damages or any other relief not allowed under this
Agreement.  The arbitrator also may not order Company to pay any monies to or take any
actions with respect to persons other than you, unless Company explicitly consents in
advance, after an arbitrator is selected, to permit the arbitrator to enter such an order.  Further,
unless Company expressly agrees, the arbitrator may not consolidate other persons’ claims
with yours, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, multi-claimant or
class proceeding. 
(14) You and Company agree to maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding
and shall not disclose the fact of the arbitration, any documents exchanged as part of any
mediation,  proceedings of the arbitration, the arbitrator’s decision and the existence or amount
of any award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration (in which
case anyone becoming privy to confidential information must undertake to preserve its
confidentiality), or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a
provisional remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, an order confirming the
award, or unless otherwise required by law or court order. In keeping with the confidential
nature of the arbitration, You and Company agree that an order confirming award is only
necessary if the obligations of the award have not been performed.  Therefore, before taking
any steps to confirm the arbitration award, the party seeking confirmation of the award must
give the other party notice of its intention to confirm the award.  If the party who would be the
respondent in any such confirmation proceeding performs its obligation under the terms of the

arbitration award within 15 business days of such notice, the party who gave notice of its intent
to confirm the award shall not seek to confirm or otherwise enforce the award.
(15) With the exception of subpart (a) in paragraph (9) (i.e., the waiver of the ability to proceed
on behalf of multiple claimants or a purported class), if any part of this Arbitration Agreement is
deemed invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the balance of this Arbitration Agreement shall
remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable,
or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, subpart (a) in paragraph (5) is found invalid,
unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void,
but the rest of this Agreement, including the provisions governing where actions against
Company must be pursued, the choice of governing law, and our mutual waiver of the right to a
trial by jury, will remain in effect and apply to any claim that, for this or any other reason,
proceeds in court rather than in arbitration.
