16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If a dispute arises between You and Spigot, we would like to achieve a neutral and cost effective means of resolving disputes quickly. Except as set forth otherwise in these Terms, You and Spigot agree to resolve any claim or controversy at law ("Claim"), and although You have waived Your right to seek equitable or injunctive relief, should You attempt to pursue such relief in contravention of Your agreement not to, You will seek to resolve any claim or controversy at equity, that arises out of Your use of any Spigot Extension, Site, Or Service, or these Terms in accordance with one of the subsections below or as Spigot and You otherwise agree in writing, signed by hand, on paper. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage You to first contact us directly to seek a resolution by contacting us. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.
Law and Forum for Legal Disputes - This Agreement (the Terms) is governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Nevada and controlling U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any Claim or dispute You may have against Spigot, or Spigot may have against You, must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Washoe County, Nevada, or the federal courts of the District of Nevada, USA, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts (and arbitrators) located within Washoe County, Nevada, USA, for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
Arbitration Option - Although Section 12 regarding Your remedies governs, for any claim (excluding claims by Spigot for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they will initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (a) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online, and/or solely based on written submissions, the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (b) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (c) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If we are unable to agree upon an ADR provider then the default ADR provider will be the American Arbitration Association, JAMS, or Judicate West, as decided by the party submitting the claim for arbitration.
Improperly Filed Claims - All claims You bring against Spigot must be resolved in accordance with this Legal Disputes Section. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Dispute Resolution Section will be considered improperly filed. Should You file a claim contrary to this Dispute Resolution Section, Spigot may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1,000, provided that Spigot has notified You of the improperly filed claim, and You have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.
17. CLASS ACTIONS
You expressly waive the right and agree not to bring or participate in any class action or joinder or consolidation of claims with respect to any dispute under or relating to this Agreement, including in any arbitration.
18. GENERAL
a) Third Party Agreements. You will comply with the terms and conditions of all agreements you have with third parties, including providers of
marketplaces, as such terms and conditions relate to use of our services including terms and conditions related to types of items that may be sold or
restrictions on concurrent sales.
b) No Agency. You and Spigot are arms-length parties to a contract, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchisor-franchisee
relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

requested, to the address provided to Spigot during any registration process. In such case, notice will be deemed given 3 days after the date of mailing.
e) Governing Law. Nevada law will govern this Agreement, except for the body of law relating to conflicts of law. Subject to the Arbitration Section, venue
for any legal action will be the state courts of Washoe County, Nevada, or the federal courts of the District of Nevada, USA,. The prevailing party in any
litigation in connection with this Agreement will be entitled to recover from the other party its costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and other expenses.
f) Waivers. A party's failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be a waiver of the provision or the right to enforce it at a later time.
g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and will not be
