19. Waiver of Section 1542. With respect to the releases of liability set out in this agreement, you acknowledge that you understand the consequences of entering into the general release and discharge of all known and unknown claims as stated in this agreement and that you are familiar with the provisions of section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides that:
    1. A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.
    2. You hereby waive all rights under section 1542 and under any other federal or state statutes or laws of similar effect.
20. Scope of Disclaimers, Exclusions, and Limits. The disclaimers, exclusions, and limits stated in sections 16, 17, and 18 apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no more. The Company does not intend to deprive you of any mandatory protections provided to you by law. Because some jurisdictions may prohibit the disclaimer of some warranties, the exclusion of some damages, or other matters, one or more of the disclaimers, exclusions, or limits will not apply to you.
21. Indemnification
    1. 21.1 In General. You will pay the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, content providers, and service providers (the "Indemnified Parties") for any loss of the Indemnified Parties' that is caused by any of the following: (a) your access of, or conduct on, the Website; (b) your conduct off the Website; (c) your breach of this agreement; (d) your violation of rights of any person, including intellectual property, publicity, and privacy rights; (e) your violation of any applicable law; (f) your tortious acts or omissions; or (g) your criminal acts or omissions. But you are not required to pay if the loss was caused by the Indemnified Party's intentional misconduct.
    2. 21.2 Definitions
    • (a) "Loss" means an amount that the Indemnified Party is legally responsible for or pays in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages.
    • (b) A loss is "caused by" an event if the loss would not have happened without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
    3. 21.3 Indemnified Party's Duty to Notify You. If the Indemnified Party has your contact information, the Indemnified Party will notify you before the 30th day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be compelled to pay. But the Indemnified Party's failure to give you timely notice does not end your obligation, except if that failure prejudices your ability to defend or mitigate losses.
    4. 21.4 Legal Defense of a Claim. The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it), unless the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense, you will not settle any litigation without the Indemnified Party's written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party's fault, or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. You and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim.
    5. 21.5 No Exclusivity. The Indemnified Parties' rights under this section 21 do not affect other rights they might have.
22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
    1. 22.1 If you reside outside the EU, California law-without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles-governs all matters arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement. If you reside inside the EU, Czech Republic law - without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles - governs all matters arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement. The predominant purpose of this agreement is providing services and licensing access to intellectual property and not a "sale of goods." This agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
    2. 22.2 If you reside outside the EU, all disputes arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement that are not subject to arbitration under section 23.1(a) will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Central District of California or any state court in Los Angeles County, California, and each party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. If you reside inside the EU, all disputes arising out of or relating to the Website or this agreement that are not subject to arbitration under section 23.1(b) will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of competent jurisdiction located in Prague, Czech Republic, and each party hereby submits to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Each party hereby waives any right to seek another forum or venue because of improper or inconvenient forum.
23. Alternative Dispute Resolution
    1. 23.1 Arbitration. Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court. If you are not happy with how the Company has handled any complaint, you may want to contact the alternative dispute resolution provider the Company uses.
    • (a) Non-EU Users. If you are located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), all claims and disputes arising under or relating to this agreement are to be settled by binding arbitration with Arbitration Resolution Services, Inc. (ARS). The parties will abide by all rules of ARS as found in their website at www.arbresolutions.com. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, enforceability, or formation of this agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. Each party will be responsible for paying any filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. The arbitrator may grant whatever relief that would be available in a court at law or in equity, except that the arbitrator must not award punitive or exemplary damages, or damages otherwise limited or excluded in this agreement. The arbitrator's award will include costs of arbitration, reasonable legal fees, and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If a party fails to pay any award, the award may be converted to judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator will disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under this agreement without the advance written consent of both parties.
    • (b) EU Users. If you are located inside the EEA, you can submit a complaint to Česká obchodní inspekce via its website at www.coi.cz. Česká obchodní inspekce will not charge you for making a complaint and if you are not satisfied with the outcome you can still bring legal proceedings. In addition, please note that disputes also may be submitted for online resolution to the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution platform (ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr).
    2. 23.2 Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that breach by either party of the obligations under this agreement could cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy. Nothing in this section 23 will prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts for matters related to data security, intellectual property, or unauthorized access to the Website, in each case without posting a bond or other security and without proof of actual money damages in connection with the claim.
    3. 23.3 Recovery of Expenses. In any proceedings between the parties arising out of this agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses. For purposes of this section 23.3, "prevailing party" means, for any proceeding, the party in whose favor an award is rendered, except that if in those proceedings the award finds in favor of one party on one or more claims or counterclaims and in favor of the other party on one or more other claims or counterclaims, neither party will be the prevailing party. If any proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the prevailing party in those proceedings.
    4. 23.4 Jury Trial Waiver. Both parties hereby waive the right to a trial by jury for any dispute arising out of or relating to the Website. Either party may enforce this waiver up to and including the first day of trial.
    5. 23.5 Class Action Waiver. All claims must be brought in the parties' individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding, and, unless the Company agrees otherwise, the arbitrator will not consolidate more than one person's claims. Both parties acknowledge that each party is waiving the right to participate in a class action.
    6. 23.6 Limitation on Time to Bring Claims. A party will not file a claim arising out of or relating to the Website more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.

No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy, or in requiring the satisfaction of any condition, under this agreement, and no act, omission, or course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy, or condition. A waiver made in writing on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated. A waiver once given is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against any other person.
    5. 24.5 Severability. The parties intend as follows:

    • (c) that if an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this section 24.5, then the rest of the agreement will remain in effect as written; and
