9. ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH VAUGHNSOFT AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM VAUGHNSOFT.

You and VaughnSoft agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms of Service or your use of the VaughnSoft Services, except that you and VaughnSoft are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and VaughnSoft agree that you will notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to VaughnSoft shall be sent to VaughnSoft, Attn: Legal, 411 Malibu Canyon Drive, Columbia, TN 38401. You and VaughnSoft further agree: to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; that any arbitration will occur in Tennessee; that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; and that the state or federal courts in Tennessee have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of the State of Tennessee and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and VaughnSoft will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.
