This Agreement is governed by the substantive laws of the State of California without regard to its laws that would direct the choice of any other state’s laws.

If you are a consumer who lives in the EU, this Section 19 is without prejudice to any rights you may have under mandatory law which cannot be varied by contractual choice of law.

20. ARBITRATION

This Section 20 does not apply if you reside in the European Economic Area or in another jurisdiction which prohibits mandatory arbitration clauses in consumer contracts.

  1. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and EasyMusic in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and EasyMusic agree that any dispute arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement or your use of the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or in any way related to these Terms or your use of the Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of this Agreement. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND EasyMusic ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SUBJECT TO AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.
  2. Exceptions. Notwithstanding Section 20.a above, nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in aid of arbitration from a court of competent jurisdiction; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
  3. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and EasyMusic will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, "AAA Rules") of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting EasyMusic. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
  4. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by China Mail ("Notice"). EasyMusic's address for Notice is: EasyMusic Team., ATTN: Community, 17 Hao Yuan, Xiao Ying Dong Lu, Haidian, Beijing. The Notice must: (i) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought ("Demand"). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or EasyMusic may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or EasyMusic must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor with a monetary award, EasyMusic will pay you the highest of the following: (1) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; or (2) the last written settlement amount offered by EasyMusic in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator's award.
  5. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, EasyMusic will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $15,000 or as set forth below, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco, California, but if the claim is for $15,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (i) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (ii) through a non-appearance-based telephone hearing; or (iii) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse EasyMusic for all monies previously disbursed that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. Each party agrees that such written decision, and information exchanged during arbitration, will be kept confidential except to the extent necessary to enforce or permit limited judicial review of the award. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
  6. Waiver of Class Actions. YOU AND EasyMusic AGREE THAT EACH 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 OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and EasyMusic agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
  7. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND EasyMusic AGREE TO WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JURY. You and EasyMusic are instead electing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and EasyMusic over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND EasyMusic WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.
  8. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, if EasyMusic makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to EasyMusic’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending EasyMusic written notice within 30 days of the change to EasyMusic’s address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and EasyMusic.
  9. Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither you nor EasyMusic can force the other to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify EasyMusic in writing no later than 30 days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your EasyMusic username and the email address you used to set up your EasyMusic account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. You must either mail your opt-out notice to this address: EasyMusic, Inc., ATTN: Arbitration Opt-out, 17 Hao Yuan, Xiao Ying Dong Lu, Haidian, Beijing, or email the opt-out notice to EasyMusic@gmail.com.
  10. Enforceability. If Section 20.f above is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 20 will be null and void. If this Arbitration Provision is invalidated in whole or in part, Section 21 shall govern any claim in court arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Service.

21. VENUE

To the extent a claim, dispute, or controversy arises out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Service that is not subject to mandatory arbitration under Section 20, both you and EasyMusic agree that all such claims and disputes will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. If that court would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, then such claims and disputes will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco. You and EasyMusic consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.

22. TIME FOR FILING

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM AGAINST EasyMusic MUST BE COMMENCED BY FILING A DEMAND FOR ARBITRATION UNDER SECTION 20 (OR BY FILING AN ACTION UNDER SECTION 21 TO THE EXTENT SECTION 20 DOES NOT APPLY) WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE DATE THE PARTY ASSERTING THE CLAIM FIRST KNOWS OR REASONABLY SHOULD KNOW OF THE ACT, OMISSION, OR DEFAULT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM. YOU AGREE THAT THERE SHALL BE NO RIGHT TO ANY REMEDY FOR ANY CLAIM NOT ASSERTED WITHIN THAT TIME PERIOD.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold EasyMusic harmless from and against any claims, actions or demands, including, without limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising or resulting from: (a) your breach of this Agreement; (b) your access to, use, or misuse of EasyMusic Content or the Service; or (c) your User Content.

EasyMusic will provide notice to you of any such claim, suit, or proceeding. EasyMusic reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter which is subject to indemnification under this Section if EasyMusic believes that you are unwilling or incapable of defending EasyMusic’s interests. In such case, you agree to cooperate with any reasonable requests assisting EasyMusic’s defense of such matter at your expense.

24. ADDITIONAL TERMS

From time to time, EasyMusic may require you to agree to additional terms and/or policies that it makes available to you in connection with your use of the Service or in connection with a special promotion ("Additional Terms"). Except as expressly stated otherwise, such Additional Terms are hereby incorporated into and subject to this Agreement. This Agreement will control in the event of any conflict or inconsistency with the Additional Terms to the extent of the conflict or inconsistency.

25. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid by any court having competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which will remain in full force and effect.
