18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
18.1. ALL USERS AND MOTORWATT AND EACH OF ITS RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS, AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS AGREE TO ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AS THE EXCLUSIVE FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BELOW, FOR ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.
Commencing Arbitration. A party who intends to seek arbitration (the "Party") must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate (a "Notice"), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by the Party to MOTORWATT, or to the Party via any other method available to MOTORWATT including via e-mail. Any Notice to MOTORWATT should be addressed to: MOTORWATT INC. official mail address.
The Notice must (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (the "Demand"). If the parties do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court.
THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (THE "RULES"), AS MODIFIED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
18.2. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. A single independent and impartial arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Rules. The parties to the arbitration agree to comply with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted in person by both parties at a location in Los Angeles, unless both parties mutually agree in writing to conduct the arbitration remotely through telephone or video conference; and (ii) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
18.3. All arbitration proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim. The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the State of New York in conducting the arbitration. The Parties acknowledge that these terms and the use of the Services evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The United States Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the Mandatory Arbitration clause in these Terms.
18.3. Governing Law. These Terms and your use of the Service shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of California without reference to its choice or conflicts of law principles.
18.4. Venue. Only if the Mandatory Arbitration clause is deemed to be null and void, then all disputes arising between any User and MOTORWATT under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, and you and MOTORWATT hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.
18.5. Equitable Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution section do not apply to any claim in which MOTORWATT seeks equitable relief of any kind. Users acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of these Terms by MOTORWATT for any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to said User will not entitle it to seek injunctive or other equitable relief against MOTORWATT, including with respect to any User Materials, and the only remedy shall be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability set forth in these Terms.
18.6. Claims. All Users and MOTORWATT agree that, notwithstanding any other rights the party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to these Terms or the Services, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
18.7, Improperly Filed Claims. All claims Users bring against MOTORWATT must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Dispute Resolution section shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Dispute Resolution section, MOTORWATT may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $5,000, provided that MOTORWATT has notified Users in writing of the improperly filed claim, and said Users have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
19. MISCELLANEOUS
19.1. Waiver. A provision of these Terms may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of MOTORWATT to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
19.2. Severability. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

Any assignment attempted to be made by any Unser in violation of these Terms shall be null and void. These Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and permitted successors and assigns.
