If you are a consumer who resides in California, you hereby waive your rights under California Civil Code §1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”
Additionally, you consent to being recorded, photographed, and videotaped during ENI’s performance of the Services, and hereby irrevocably and perpetually release and authorize ENI to copyright, publish, reproduce, exhibit, transmit, broadcast, televise, digitize, display, otherwise use, and permit others to use (i) the your name, image, likeness, and voice, and (ii) all photographs, recordings, videotapes, audiovisual materials, writings, statements, and quotations of or by you obtained related to the Services (collectively, the “Materials”), in any manner, form, or format whatsoever now or hereinafter created, and for any lawful purpose, including, the advertising or promotion of ENI and/or the Services without further consent from or payment to you. You agree that all of the Materials, and all films, audiotapes, videotapes, reproductions, media, plates, negatives, photocopies, and electronic and digital copies of the Materials are the sole property of ENI and you further agree not to contest the rights or authority granted to the ENI hereunder. You acknowledge and agree that: (i) You shall not be entitled to any compensation for your appearance related to the Services or subsequent use of your appearance in the Materials, (ii) You have and will refrain from any offensive or distasteful remarks or conduct and will conduct itself in a courteous and professional manner at all times during your participation in the Services and appearance in the Materials, and (iii) this Section is

Such written notice should include your legal name (and, if different, the name or username used by you during your participation in the Services), the date or approximate date of your participation in the Services, and any other information sufficient for ENI to identify the relevant Materials and expedite compliance with your request.

You agree to pay all costs (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, incurred by ENI in collecting overdue fees from you. You also agree to pay all federal, state and local taxes applicable to your use or receipt of the Services.
19. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with ENI and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration agreement. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.
No Representative Actions. You and ENI agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and ENI and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or ENI seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in
which you or ENI seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and ENI waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, our Services, or privacy and data security claims resolved in court. Instead, for any dispute or claim that you have against ENI or relating in any way to the Services, you agree to first contact ENI and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to ENI by email at legal@executivenetworks.com or by certified mail addressed to Attn: Legal, Executive Networks, Inc., 588 Sutter Street, Suite 440, San Francisco, CA 94102. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and ENI cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in San Francisco, California or may be conducted telephonically or via video conference for disputes alleging damages less than $1,000.00, in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules is available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and ENI agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 19 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
The arbitrator, ENI, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality unless the law
provides to the contrary. The duty of Confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
You and ENI agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and ENI will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Company, ENI will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and ENI agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in San Francisco County, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the claim is permanently barred, which means that you and ENI will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 19 by writing to us at Attn: Legal, Executive Networks, Inc., 588 Sutter Street, Suite 440, San Francisco, CA 94102. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve disputes in accordance with Section 20.
If any portion of this Section 19 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (a) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (b) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 19 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 19; and (c) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 19 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 19 will be enforceable.
20. Governing Law and Venue
Any dispute arising from these Terms and your use of the Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of California, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of California and the United States, respectively, sitting in San Francisco County, California.
21. Modifying and Terminating our Services
