23. CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM

EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW, the Agreement will be governed by and interpreted pursuant to the internal laws of the State of Delaware, United States of America, notwithstanding any principles of or rules regarding any choice of law or conflicts of law (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

The parties shall resolve any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or invalidity hereof (each, a “Dispute”), by final and binding arbitration under the provisions of this Choice of Law and Forum Section. The procedures set forth in this Choice of Law and Forum Section shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any Dispute that may arise from time to time.

In the event of a Dispute, the party claiming a Dispute shall commence the arbitration by delivering written notice to the other party of the Dispute (“Dispute Notice”), which notice shall be sent in compliance with this Agreement’s notice provisions and shall set out the nature of the claim(s) and the relief requested. Within 30 days of the receipt of the Dispute Notice, the respondent shall deliver to the claimant its answer and any counterclaim(s), setting out the nature of such counterclaim(s), if any, and the relief requested. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, which Rules are deemed to be incorporated into this Choice of Law and Forum Section by reference. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language before a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties and selected from a list of arbitrators provided by the AAA. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within 15 days, then an arbitrator will be selected according to the AAA Rules. The seat or place of arbitration shall be Hennepin County in the State of Minnesota, United States. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and shall be accompanied by a statement of the reason upon which the award is based. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction (as set forth herein), and any court where a party or its assets is located (to whose jurisdiction the parties hereby consent for purposes of enforcing the award). The arbitration proceedings shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act and the AAA Rules, without reference to any state arbitration law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may apply to any federal courts of the United States or the state courts of the State of Minnesota, in each case located in the City of Minneapolis within Hennepin County in the State of Minnesota, for injunctive relief without breach of the arbitration requirements set forth in this Choice of Law and Forum Section, and the parties to the Agreement each irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead any objection to the laying of venue or the convenience of the forum for any Dispute and they hereby specifically consent and voluntarily submit to personal jurisdiction in such courts. The non-prevailing party in any Dispute shall pay, in addition to all other remedies to which the prevailing party may be entitled, the costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such Dispute, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, even in not recoverable at law, and the fees and expenses of the arbitrator in the event of arbitration.

If any part of the Agreement is unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be amended by a court of competent jurisdiction to be valid and enforceable while maintaining as close as possible the original intent of the parties as indicated by the wording in the Agreement, and if the term cannot be so amended to render it valid and enforceable, it shall be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The Agreement, including the related APP CATS Privacy Policy and Contest Rules, constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to this subject matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any additional terms and conditions on the Website or within the App will also govern the items to which they pertain, such as rules, terms or conditions related to sales of goods, promotions or Contests, such specific rules, terms, and conditions controlling when in conflict with the terms and conditions in the Agreement.
