10. ARBITRATION & JURISDICTION.

(JAMS) in San Francisco, California. This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable under applicable law in any court. Notice of the demand for arbitration shall be filed in writing with the other party to this Agreement and JAMS. By entering into this Agreement, the parties waive their respective rights to have any such disputes or claims tried by a judge or jury. To the fullest extent permitted by law: no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to any other arbitration, including any arbitration involving any other current or former licensee of Kinetica; no class arbitration proceedings shall be permitted; 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 Kinetica); 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 Kinetica). Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be limited to those set forth in the JAMS Rules with the remainder paid by Kinetica. If such costs are determined to be excessive, Kinetica will pay all arbitration fees and arbitrator compensation. You and Kinetica may litigate in court only to compel arbitration under this Agreement, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s). You and Kinetica hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of California to enforce the provisions of this section, and to resolve any disputes and claims cognizable in court relating in any way, or arising out of, this Agreement, the Software, or your use of the Software. The court, not the arbitrator, shall determine whether arbitration may occur and enforce the arbitration agreements contained herein, including the prohibition on consolidated arbitrations and class arbitration. This Agreement and all disputes and claims relating in any way to, or arising out of, this Agreement, the Software or Services or your use of the Software or Services shall be governed by the laws of the State of California and the Federal Arbitration Act.
