THIS ALLOCATION IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. EACH OF THESE PROVISIONS IS SEVERABLE AND INDEPENDENT OF ALL OTHER PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS. THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH WILL APPLY EVEN IF ANY LIMITED REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION RELATED TO SERVICES AND CONTENT MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
Mandatory Arbitration. You agree and understand that this paragraph is deemed to be a "written agreement to arbitrate" pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, satisfies the "writing" requirement of that act, applies to your use of the Services, and governs all claims, disputes, or controversies between you and Living in the Red, including but not limited to tort and contract claims, claims based upon any federal, state, or local statute, law, order, ordinance, or regulation, and claims over the applicability of this arbitration provision (collectively "Claims"). This paragraph can only be changed or terminated upon mutual agreement.
You understand and agree that all Claims will be resolved by final and binding arbitration using the American Arbitration Association's ("AAA") Commercial Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") in effect on the date of initiation of the arbitration, except as to those AAA Rules that conflict with or differ from these Terms, by one or more arbitrators appointed in accordance with said rules at a location within Dallas County, Texas. Any controversy concerning whether a dispute is arbitral will be determined by the arbitrator(s) and not by the court. In arbitration, as with a court, the arbitrator must honor the terms of these Terms (including any Additional Terms) and may award the prevailing party damages and other relief (including attorneys' fees). However, WITH ARBITRATION: (A) THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, (B) THE ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS AND ARBITRATION OUTCOME ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY RULES, AND (C) JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ARBITRATION OUTCOME IS LIMITED.
Each party to the arbitration will have the right, at its own expense, to be represented by an attorney or other advocate of its own choosing. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator's fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but, if applicable arbitration rules or laws require Living in the Red to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this paragraph to be enforceable, then Living in the Red will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator's decision must consist of a written statement stating the disposition of each claim of the dispute and must provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and any award (if any) is based. Judgment on the arbitration decision and award (if any) may be entered in or by any court that has jurisdiction over the parties.
NO CLASS ACTION MATTERS. You agree that disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party, such as class claims or private attorney general representative actions, with the exception of representative claims solely for injunctive relief brought under Texas unfair competition law. If any provision of this arbitration provision is deemed unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision will be severable from the remainder of this paragraph, which will remain fully enforceable. AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM FOR ALLEGED DAMAGES ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND A WAIVER OF THE ABILITY TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM IN A CLASS ACTION.
Governing Law. The Terms will be governed pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas without regard to its conflict of law principles. You hereby warrant and represent that you in all respects are qualified and competent to enter into these Terms. You and Living in the Red submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts and federal courts located within Dallas County, Texas for resolution of any arbitration, lawsuit or court proceeding permitted under these Terms. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and as stated above, you agree and understand that Federal Arbitration Act governs arbitration under these Terms. Collectively, these
Terms constitute a contract for the provision of services and not a contract for the sale of goods. The provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA), or any substantially similar legislation as may be enacted, will not apply to these Terms. At no point will the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods govern these Terms or the rights and obligations of the parties under these Terms.

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.” If you are a resident of another jurisdiction, you waive any comparable statute or doctrine.
