ARBITRATION, JURISDICTION & GOVERNING LAW
You and Operator agree that the exclusive remedy for all disputes and
claims relating in any way to, or arising out of, these terms and
conditions, the MusicSpectator.com Web site, or your use of the
Information (including the arbitrability of any claim or dispute and
the enforceability of this paragraph), or to any other alleged act or
omission by you or Operator toward the other, shall be determined
exclusively by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be
conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") before a panel of three arbitrators and
conducted in the State of Washington. You and Operator also agree that
the AAA Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply
to the proceedings. You and Operator may litigate in court only to
compel arbitration under these terms of use or to confirm, modify,
vacate or enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators. To
the extent that you have breached or have indicated your intention to
breach these terms and conditions in any manner which violates or may
violate Operator's or any of its licensor's intellectual property
rights, or may cause continuing or irreparable harm to Operator
(including, but not limited to, any breach that may impact Operator's
or it's licensor's intellectual property rights, or a breach by reverse
engineering), Operator may seek injunctive relief, or any other
appropriate relief, in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and
Operator must commence an arbitration by filing a demand for
arbitration with the AAA within ONE (1) YEAR after the date the party
asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act,
omission or default giving rise to the claim; and there shall be no
right to any remedy for any claim not asserted within that time period.
(If applicable law prohibits a one year limitations period for
asserting claims, the claim must be asserted within the shortest time
period in excess of one year that is permitted by applicable law.) To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: no arbitration under
these terms and conditions shall be joined to an arbitration involving
any other current or former licensee of Operator, whether through class
arbitration proceedings or otherwise; no finding or stipulation of fact
in any other arbitration, judicial or similar proceeding may be given
preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder
(unless determined in another proceeding between you and Operator); and
no conclusion of law in any other arbitration may be given any weight
in any arbitration hereunder (unless determined in another proceeding
between you and Operator).
These terms and conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington and the Federal Arbitration Act, without regard to conflicts of law provisions, and you hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Washington. These terms and conditions will not be governed by the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is hereby expressly excluded.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
You agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission
of technical data exported from the United States to the country in

and conditions shall constitute any waiver by Operator of any provision
of these terms and conditions. These terms and conditions (including
all documents expressly incorporated by reference) constitutes the
complete and exclusive agreement between Operator and you with respect
to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written
understandings, communications or agreements not specifically
incorporated herein. If any provision of these terms and conditions is
invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it is, to that extent,
deemed omitted and the remaining provisions will continue in full force
and effect. These terms and conditions will bind and inure to the
benefit of each party's permitted successors and assigns. These terms
and conditions are personal to you and may not be transferred, assigned
or delegated to anyone. Any attempt by you to assign, transfer or
delegate these terms and conditions shall be null and void. A printed
version of these terms and conditions and of any notice given in
electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to these terms and conditions to the
same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business
documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed
