16. ARBITRATION. You and FoodTruck, LLC agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to these terms and conditions or FoodTruckr products offered shall be determined by binding arbitration or in small claims court. By agreeing to these terms, you agree the Federal Arbitration Act of the United States governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration clause, and that you and FoodTruckr, LLC are each WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless we jointly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims with either of our claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim.
You may opt out of this arbitration clause at the time you first provide information to or make a purchase from FoodTruckr, LLC, by providing written notice to us here: richard@socalinternetlawyer.com.
If you elect to seek arbitration or file a small claim court action, you must first send us a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) by certified mail. The Notice should be forwarded to: Law Office of Richard A. Chapo, 5040 Seachase Way, San Diego, California 92130 (“Notice Address”). Notice sent by either party must describe the nature and basis of the claim and the specific relief sought. The parties shall then have 30 days to negotiate a resolution. If no resolution is reached, the parties may initiate formal arbitration proceedings. If we initiate arbitration, written Notice will be sent to you at the email address we have on file for you.
You can obtain a Notice form and a form to initiate arbitration at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the 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 Forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the Notice Address. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including issues relating to the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Unless FoodTruckr, LLC and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in the State of California if you reside in California or via video conferencing or telephone conference as determined by the arbitrator in their sole discretion taking into account the written requests of the parties should you reside in a jurisdiction other than California.
.
If your claim is for US$10,000 or less, we agree that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, or through a telephonic hearing. If your claim exceeds US$10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision in sufficient detail to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. Except as expressly set forth herein, the payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
This arbitration provision shall survive termination or amendment of these terms and conditions as well as the return or refund of any FoodTruckr products.

(a) provide you notice by email of said change 15 days prior to the change going into force.
(b) clearly publish on the home page of the Site the fact an amendment will be made with a link to a page detailing the changes, the date the changes will go into effect and contact information so you may discuss the proposed changes with us.
Should a court of competent jurisdiction rule this Amendment provision invalid, then this Amendment clause shall be terminated as part of this agreement and the original terms shall apply. All amendments to this agreement shall be forward looking.
18. GOVERNING LAW. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without reference to their rules regarding conflicts of law. Should a dispute arise in which arbitration is not pursued for any reason, you agree that the jurisdiction for any lawsuits or legal matters shall be solely that of the state or federal courts located in San Diego County, California.
19. SEVERABILITY; WAIVER. If, for whatever reason, a court of competent jurisdiction finds any term or condition in this agreement to be unenforceable, all other terms and conditions will remain unaffected and in full force and effect. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent, or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
20. NO LICENSE. Nothing contained on the Site should be understood as granting you a license to use any of the trademarks, service marks, or logos owned by Company or by any third party.
