16. GENERAL
16.1 Dispute Resolution; Arbitration. Before initiating any arbitration proceeding, the parties will first discuss the matter informally for at least 30 days. If the parties are unable to mutually agree upon a resolution during the 30-day period, then any claim regarding this Agreement and/or the Services will be resolved through binding arbitration administered by JAMS and governed by the then current JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. It is important that the parties address any issues promptly. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, an arbitration proceeding for any claim or cause of action must be brought within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or such claim is waived. As an exception to this arbitration agreement, the parties have the right to pursue in small claims court any claim that is within that court's jurisdiction as long as such party proceeds only on an individual basis.
The parties agree to arbitrate only in their individual capacity, not as a representative or member of a class. No claims may be joined with any other claims and there will be no authority for any dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or brought by a purported class representative.
Arbitration will be exclusively held in Travis County, Texas and each party will be responsible for its own costs, including paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. In order to select an arbitrator, each party will provide a list of two available arbitrators that have experience with the subject matter of the dispute. Each party may strike one of the names on the other party’s list. The parties will select an arbitrator out of the remaining two arbitrator names. If the parties cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, JAMS will choose the arbitrator randomly from the two remaining arbitrators. The arbitrator's decision will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. By entering into this Agreement, each party acknowledges that such party has had the opportunity to have their legal counsel review this Agreement and that such party fully understands the terms and conditions set forth herein and the effect of entering into this Agreement.
All negotiations between the parties pursuant to this Section 16.1 prior to initiation of arbitration proceedings shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations. Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of such negotiations that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose in any current or future litigation.
16.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. The Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement. For any claims, causes of action or disputes arising out of this Agreement which are not subject to Section 16.1 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration), you and PA hereby submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Travis County, Texas and the Western District Court of Texas, respectively, to resolve any and all disputes hereunder that the parties are not able to mutually resolve. The aforementioned choice of venue is intended by the parties to be mandatory and, not permissive, in nature. You hereby waive any right to a jury trial in any proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any such claim or cause of action must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. All claims not subject to Section 16.1 (Dispute Resolution; Arbitration) must be resolved in accordance with this Section 16.2. All claims filed or brought contrary to this Section will be considered improperly filed. Should either party file a claim contrary to this Section, the non-filing party shall be entitled to seek to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs provided that the non-filing party has notified the filing party in writing of the improperly filed claim and the filing party has failed to properly withdraw the claim.
16.3 Waiver. The failure of either party to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
16.4 Severability. If any provision of the Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that the court should give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If that term cannot be so interpreted or reformed, that term will be omitted and, if the term is essential to the Agreement, the parties will promptly begin good faith negotiations to replace it. The other terms of the Agreement will remain in effect and be enforceable with the invalid or unenforceable term interpreted, reformed, replaced, or omitted, as the case may be.
16.5 Claims. Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Services or the Agreement must be filed within 24 months after such claim or cause of action arose or is forever barred, except for PA claims based on amounts billed, payments made or your failure to pay for the Services, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary.
16.6 Modifications. PA may modify the Services, withdraw Services it ceases to offer, or modify the Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time upon reasonable advance notice to you with such modifications taking effect from the date of such notice forward. Notice of such modification or withdrawal may be made by or on behalf of PA to you via email, regular mail, telecopy, delivery service, or posting on a PA Website. If the terms and conditions applicable to your Agreement are materially modified, you may terminate the Agreement with 10 days prior written notice to PA, so long as notice of termination is made within ninety (90) days after PA issues such notice.

You warrant and represent that you have full right, power and authority to enter into the Agreement and to grant the rights granted herein without violating any other agreement or commitment of any kind and that the person accepting the Agreement on your behalf, whether such acceptance is in writing, electronically or through other means, has the power and authority to enter the Agreement on your behalf.
16.10 No Exclusivity. Orders do not grant you an exclusive right or privilege to receive Services. PA may, in its sole discretion, provide similar or identical Services to other customers, which may be competitors of Customer.
16.11 Relationship. Customer and PA are independent contractors. Nothing in the Agreement is intended to or will constitute Customer or PA as an agent, legal representative, partner, joint venturer, franchisee, employee, or servant of the other for any purpose. Neither Customer nor PA shall make any contract, commitment, warranty, or representation on behalf of the other, or incur any debt or other obligation in the other's name.
16.12 Amendments. If the Agreement specifies a process by which it may be amended by PA, then PA may amend it according to that process. No other amendment to the Agreement will be binding unless agreed to in a writing executed by PA and Customer, and no approval, consent, or waiver will be enforceable unless signed by the granting party. No preprinted term appearing in any document that is not part of the Agreement will be enforceable by the originating party against the other party unless that term is expressly accepted in writing by an authorized representative of the other party. No document will be deemed to amend the Agreement by implication.
16.13 Survival. Sections 1, 2.2, 3.5 and 5 through 17, and all provisions in these Terms of Use, including indemnification/defense of claims provisions, limitations of liability, representations and warranties as to Intellectual property rights, disclaimers of warranties and, any accrued but unpaid financial obligations, and any other terms in an Agreement that by their nature should or typically would survive expiration or termination will survive the expiration or termination for any reason of the Order(s) and the Agreement.
