23.2 Dispute Resolution. If a dispute arises between you and MonkeySort, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and MonkeySort agree that we will resolve any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of these Terms or the MonkeySort Services (a "Claim") in accordance with one of the subsections below or as MonkeySort and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek a resolution. We will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

(a) Choice of Law; Forum. These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against MonkeySort must be resolved by a court located in Santa Clara County, California, except as otherwise agreed by you and MonkeySort or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Santa Clara County, California for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

(b) Arbitration Option. For any claim (excluding claims 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 shall 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: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (ii) the arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (iii) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against MonkeySort must be resolved in accordance with this Section 26.2 (Dispute Resolution). All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section 26.2 (Dispute Resolution) shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to this Section 26.2 (Dispute Resolution), MonkeySort may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1,000, provided that MonkeySort has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

23.3 Waiver. A provision of these Terms may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of MonkeySort to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.

23.4 Severability. If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

23.5 Assignment. The Terms and related Guidelines, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by MonkeySort without restriction. Any assignment attempted to be made in violation of these Terms shall be void.

23.6 No Agency. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and MonkeySort as a result of these Terms or use of the MonkeySort Service. You further acknowledge that by submitting User Submissions or other Content, no confidential, fiduciary, contractually implied or other relationship is created between you and MonkeySort other than pursuant to these Terms.

23.9 Entire Agreement. This is the entire agreement between you and MonkeySort relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all previous communications, representations, understandings and agreements, either oral or written, between the parties with respect to said subject matter. These Terms shall not be modified except in a writing, signed by both parties, or by a change to these Terms or Guidelines made by MonkeySort as set forth in Section 4 above.
