7.1.1. For all Disputes unless otherwise stated in the Terms or prohibited by law, the arbitration shall be administered by the Japan Commercial Arbitration Association (“JCAA”) in accordance with its rules and located in Tokyo, Japan.

7.1.2. For all other Disputes not governed by Japan law, the Dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in the United States of America as administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its rules and located in Los Angeles, California.

7.1.3. All Disputes must be resolved under Japan or United States law and arbitration. If expressly prohibited and so directed by applicable law, then the Dispute shall be resolved through arbitration administered by a reputable and widely recognized arbitration institution reasonably appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the Dispute arises, applying its then-current arbitration rules.

7.2. Arbitration and Jury Waiver. The arbitrator shall: (a) have the authority to compel adequate discovery for the resolution of all Claims and to award such relief as would otherwise be permitted by law; and (b) issue a written arbitration decision including the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions and a statement of the award. The parties acknowledge that, by agreeing to this arbitration procedure, both parties waive the right to resolve any Claims through a trial by jury or judge or by administrative proceeding. This agreement to arbitrate does not extend to Disputes in which either party seeks (i) injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets or patents, (ii) the right to pursue enforcement actions through applicable agencies where such actions are available, or (iii) injunctive relief in court of law.

Any awards or orders in such arbitrations may be entered and enforced as judgments in the federal and state courts of any competent jurisdiction.

7.3. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. Any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding. There will be no class arbitration or arbitration in which an individual attempts to resolve a Dispute as a representative of another individual or group of individuals. Further, a Dispute cannot be brought as a class or other type of representative action, whether within or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other individual or group of individuals.

To the extent that any arbitration, Dispute, or court proceeding is permitted under the Terms, to the fullest extent permitted by law you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Tokyo, Japan, and if Japan is prohibited by law, then you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in Los Angeles, California, for the purpose of resolving any and all Disputes or claims.
