DISPUTE RESOLUTION|ARBITRATION|CHOICE OF LAW

It is hoped that should you and Friends In film, the Company ever have any differences, we will be able to work them out amicably through a phone conversation or email correspondence. However, should a dispute ever arise between us, we agree now that we will submit to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, selected jointly in the state of California, in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Rules. Any judgment on an arbitrator’s award, if made, is binding and may be entered into any court having the appropriate jurisdiction. Prior to seeking arbitration, you must submit your complaint to Friends In Film via email. You understand and agree now that the only remedy that can be awarded to you through arbitration is a full refund of any Payment(s) made by you, up to the date of the award. You agree that no award of consequential or of any other damages may be granted to you and you agree not to seek the same.

You agree that, by using the Site, Content, any Service or any Products, you are waiving the right to a court or jury trial or to participate in a class action.
