PLEASE BE ADVISED: 

THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER THAT IMPACT YOUR RIGHTS ABOUT RESOLVING DISPUTES.  

Generally, the clause and waiver govern how claims that you and we have against each other are resolved. It also contains an arbitration agreement which requires you to submit claims you have against us to binding and final arbitration. This means that unless you opt out of the clause and waiver (i) you will only be permitted to pursue claims against us on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding, and (ii) you will only be permitted to seek relief (including, without limitation, monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.  

You may opt out of the Binding Arbitration Clause and Class Action Waiver. If your waiver is validly and timely received, neither you nor Tako Agency, LLC can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.  

To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to these Terms. You must use one of the following physical or email addresses to opt out:

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).

Binding Arbitration Clause & Class Action Waiver

1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement: All claims or disputes arising out of, or related to, or in connection with these Terms or your use of the tools or Service that cannot be resolved informally or in small claims court shall be resolved through binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and we are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. Furthermore, and without limitation, Tako Agency, LLC is not required to arbitrate any other dispute in which we seek equitable or injunctive relief, or any other provisional remedies.
2. Arbitration Rules: 
1. The Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this clause and waiver. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, the arbitration shall be administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures.  If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, you and we will select an alternative arbitral forum. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com.  The arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The award, if any, is final and binding upon you and Tako Agency, LLC. Judgment on any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

1. If the claim is for $10,000.00 or less, the party initiating arbitration may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted (1) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (2) through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing; or (3) by an in-person hearing as established by JAMS rules in a location which is reasonably convenient for both parties with due consideration of the ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances.  If the parties are unable to agree on a location of the hearing, the determination will be made by JAMS.
1. Authority of Arbitrator: The arbitrator shall decide the jurisdiction of the arbitrator and the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Tako Agency, LLC. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award all remedies available under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  
2. Jury Trial Waiver: Subject to these Terms, you and Tako Agency, LLC waive any constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury. Rather, you and Tako Agency, LLC elect to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. In any litigation between you and Tako Agency, LLC, including without limitation over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, you and Tako Agency, LLC waive all rights to a jury trial, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.
3. Class Action Waiver: WHERE PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AND TAKO AGENCY, LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTION.  
4. Small Claims Court: Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Tako Agency, LLC may bring an individual action in small claims court.
5. Survival: This Binding Arbitration Clause and Class Action Waiver will survive the termination of your relationship with Tako Agency, LLC.
