  14. GOVERNING LAW

    Except as otherwise provided in the Dispute Resolution provision below, these Terms will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

  15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

      1. 15.1 Initial Resolution Attempt.
        Most concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting us at legal@sonalabs.com. In the unlikely event that we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and Sona agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of your use of the Site, or relating to these Terms, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including any dispute relating to the provisions of this Dispute Resolution section itself (“Disputes”), will first be addressed informally and directly (without recourse to formal legal procedures, lawsuits, etc.) between the Parties in a good faith attempt to reach a mutually agreeable resolution of the issue.
      2. 15.2 Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes.
        If, after (30) days of good faith discussion as described above, no mutually agreeable resolution has been reached, you and Sona agree that any Dispute will be resolved through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) by a single arbitrator and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding, except as set forth below in this Section. This includes Disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, enforceability, validity, or interpretation of this arbitration paragraph. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of these Terms.
      3. 15.3 Arbitration Procedures.
        The AAA will administer the arbitration under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time. Arbitration will take place in San Francisco County, California, unless the parties agree otherwise. Judgment on the arbitral award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
      4. 15.4 Arbitration Costs.
        The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Each party will bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs, except that the prevailing party may recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to the extent permitted by applicable law or the AAA rules. The arbitrator may award attorneys’ fees against a party who files a frivolous claim or engages in bad faith conduct.
      5. 15.5 Injunctive and Declaratory Relief.
        Either party may seek equitable relief (such as a temporary restraining order or injunction) in a court of competent jurisdiction for misuse of intellectual property or breach of confidentiality, without waiving arbitration rights.
      6. 15.6 Exceptions to Arbitration.
        Notwithstanding the mandatory arbitration agreement in Section 15.1 above, either you or Sona may (i) assert claims, if they qualify, in a U.S. small claims court; or (ii) bring an individual action seeking only injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent or stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services or infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property without first engaging in arbitration described above. If the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in San Francisco, California to resolve your claim.
      7. 15.7 No Class Actions or Class Arbitration.
        You may only resolve Disputes with Sona on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” section will be deemed void.
  16. ADDITIONAL TERMS

      1. 16.1 Entire Agreement.
        These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Sona regarding the use of the Site.
      2. 16.2 Assignment.
        You may not assign or transfer these Terms without Sona’s prior written consent. Sona may assign its rights and obligations without restriction.
      3. 16.3 Waiver.
        Sona’s failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver will be effective only if in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Sona. Except as expressly stated in these Terms, the exercise of any remedy under these Terms will be without prejudice to other available remedies. No waiver by Sona of any breach or default under these Terms will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
      4. 16.4 Severability.
        If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, or enforceability of the remaining provisions will in no way be affected or impaired.
