8. GENERAL PROVISIONS
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law provisions. Any claim, controversy, or dispute between the parties, their agents, employees, officers, directors, or affiliated agents will be resolved by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator engaged in the practice of law, under the then-current rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The arbitrator's award will be final and binding and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ fees, and shall share equally in the fees and expenses of the arbitrator.
The arbitration will occur in New York, NY. Nothing in this Section is intended to be construed to preclude any party from seeking injunctive relief to protect its Intellectual Property Rights. A request by a party to a court for such injunctive relief will not be deemed a waiver of the obligation to mediate. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and LEXamples with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. No section of these Terms shall be held to be waived, modified, or deleted except by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto. No waiver by either you or LEXamples of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import. Any cause of action you may have with respect to LEXamples must be commenced within one year after the claim or cause of action arises or such claim or cause of action is barred.
