Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution under the initial dispute resolution provision, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Any claim that you might have against AdAstral must be resolved through binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association using its Commercial Arbitration Rules and must be brought within one (1) year of the claim arising.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU WILL ARBITRATE WITH ADASTRAL IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL OR CORPORATE CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this Section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions in this Section shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

If your claim is successful in the arbitration, AdAstral agrees to reimburse your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

You understand and agree that by entering into this Agreement, you and AdAstral are each waiving the right to a jury trial or a trial before a judge in a public court. In the absence of this arbitration provision, you and AdAstral might otherwise have had a right or opportunity to bring Disputes in a court, before a judge or jury, and/or to participate or be represented in a case filed in court by others (including class actions). Other rights that you would have if you went to court, such as the right to appeal and to certain types of discovery, may be more limited or may also be waived.

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court to protect its intellectual property rights (meaning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights).

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth in this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address: 15332 Antioch St. No. 303, Pacific Palisades, CA. 90272 USA. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, AdAstral also will not be bound by them. The “Effective Date” is the date of your initial access to this Site after October 1, 2020.

Choice of Law. For any dispute not subject to arbitration, you and AdAstral agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in the federal and state courts located in California. You further agree to accept service of process by mail and hereby waive any and all jurisdictional and venue defenses otherwise available.
