  Changes to these terms; Termination.

  Benztown reserves the right at any time to modify, alter or update these Terms. Notice of any new or revised Terms, as well as the location of the new or revised statement, will be posted on the Sites for at least twenty (20) days after the change. Your use of the Sites following any changes means that you agree to follow and be bound by the terms as changed. Any change to these Terms shall be effective as to any visitor who has visited the Sites before the change was made. It is the obligation of users visiting the Sites before the change to learn of changes to the Terms since their last visit. Benztown may suspend or terminate your account and/or your ability to use the Sites or any services on the Sites for failure to comply with these Terms, for providing Benztown with untrue or inaccurate information about yourself, for infringement upon Benztown proprietary rights, or for any other reason whatsoever or for no reason.

• 15.

  Dispute Resolution.

  Any dispute arising out of these Terms shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual; and an arbitrator must also follow the terms of these Terms, as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability and the scope or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. Arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California, unless Benztown elects otherwise.

  The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different Benztown users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same Benztown user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, Benztown will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by Benztown should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your demand for arbitration and Benztown will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, Benztown will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the costs of accessing arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse Benztown for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by Benztown on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA's rules. If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this agreement to arbitrate shall still apply.

  You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate by mailing us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”). The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than thirty days after the date you accept these Terms for the first time. You must complete the Opt-Out Notice form by providing the information called for in the form, including your name, address (including street number and address, city, state, and zip code), phone number, and the email address used to log in to the Benztown account to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the agreement to arbitrate. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply. Opting out of this agreement to arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with us.

• 16.

  Miscellaneous.

  These Terms, including the Privacy Policy, constitute the whole legal agreement between you and Benztown and govern your use of the Sites, Services and any transactions you may have with Benztown through the Sites and completely replaces and supersedes any prior agreements or understanding, arrangements, undertaking or proposal, written or oral, between you and Benztown in relation to such matters. In the event any other rule, code of conduct, or other matter posted on the Sites conflicts with the terms of these Terms, these Terms of Use shall govern. No oral explanation or oral information given by any party shall alter the interpretation of these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you understand that Benztown may make changes to these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Sites following the posting of changes to these Terms of Use will be considered your consent to those changes. When these changes are made, Benztown will make a new copy of the Terms of Use available on the Sites. You agree that Benztown is under no obligation to provide you with notices regarding changes to the Terms of Use. You understand that it is your responsibility to check the Terms regularly for changes.

  You agree that if Benztown does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms of Use (or which v has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal waiver of Benztown’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to Benztown. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide a matter arising out of these Terms, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from these Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms and the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable.

  The Sites is controlled and operated from within the United States. Without limiting anything else, Benztown makes no representation that the Sites, Sites Content, Services, information or other materials available on, in, or through the Sites is appropriate or available for use in other locations, and access to them from territories where they are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Sites from other locations do so on their own volition and are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.
