  12. Pre-Dispute, Mandatory Binding Arbitration, and Class Action Waiver
    1. PLEASE READ THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT YOU MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE MUST BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT, SUCH AS DISCOVERY OR THE RIGHT TO APPEAL, MAY BE MORE LIMITED OR MAY NOT EXIST. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING A CLAIM IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OR CLAIMS OR OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.
    2. Generally. Arbitration is a method of resolving a Claim without filing a lawsuit. “Claim” means any dispute between you, YGG, and/or any involved third party relating to your account, Your Use (defined here), your relationship with YGG, or these Terms of Sale. This includes any and all claims that relate in any way to your use of the products, your attempted use of the products, and any act or omission by YGG or any third party related to your use or attempted use of the products. You, YGG, or any involved third party may pursue a Claim. YGG agrees to binding arbitration should it have any Claims against you. Likewise, you agree to binding arbitration should you have any Claims against YGG. By agreeing to arbitrate, you waive the right to go to court and agree instead to submit any Claims to binding arbitration. This arbitration provision sets forth the terms and conditions of our agreement to binding arbitration and is governed by and enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as amended.
    3. Exceptions to Binding Arbitration. As an exception to binding arbitration, you and YGG both retain the right to pursue, in a small claims court, any claim that is within that court’s jurisdiction and proceeds on an individual (non-class) basis. YGG will not demand arbitration in connection with any individual claim that you properly file and pursue in a small claims court, so long as the claim is pending only in that court. Binding arbitration also does not apply to disputes concerning trade secret misappropriation, patent infringement, copyright infringement or misuse, or trademark infringement or dilution. Mandatory Pre-Dispute Procedures. You acknowledge and agree that before initiating any Claim (subject to the exceptions above) against YGG, you will first give us an opportunity to resolve your problem or dispute. This includes sending a written description of your problem or dispute to us, including, but not limited to, information or representations related to our products and upon which you rely. You may send the written description by U.S. Mail to YAMAHA GUITAR GROUP, INC., ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT, 26580 AGOURA ROAD, CALABASAS, CA 91302. You agree to negotiate with YGG in good faith about your problem or dispute. If for some reason your problem or dispute is not resolved to your satisfaction within sixty (60) days after YGG’s receipt of your written dispute, you agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.
    4. Commencement of Arbitration. You and YGG agree to commence any arbitration proceeding within one (1) year after the Claim arises (including the mandatory pre-dispute procedures outlined above) and that any proceeding commenced after one year shall be barred.
    5. Arbitration Location. For your convenience, the arbitration may be conducted in the federal district where you reside. It may be held by telephone or through written submissions if both you and YGG agree.
    6. Sponsoring Organization, Rules, and the Arbitrator. You agree that any Claims shall be resolved by submitting the dispute to final and binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator who is a retired judge or an experienced attorney with experience in the subject(s) of the Claim(s). The arbitrator shall be chosen from JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and the arbitration rules of the selected tribunal shall apply, which can be obtained by calling the selected tribunal. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms of Sale and this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether this arbitration agreement can be enforced against a non-signatory to this agreement and whether a non-signatory to this agreement can enforce this provision against you or YGG.
    7. Arbitration Fees. YGG shall pay for all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees for an arbitration initiated by either party. The parties shall each pay their own additional fees, costs, and expenses, including, but not limited to, those for any attorneys, experts, documents, and witnesses.
    8. Arbitration Award. The arbitrator shall follow substantive law and may order any relief if permitted by law. The arbitrator may award any form of individual relief, including injunctions and punitive damages, so long as they are in accordance with applicable law. The arbitrator may award costs or fees to a prevailing party, but only if the law expressly allows it. Although YGG may have a right to an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses under some laws if it prevails, YGG agrees that it will not seek such an award, unless your Claims are determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the arbitrator’s ability to award remedies provided by applicable law. Any award rendered shall include a written opinion and shall be final, subject to appeal under the FAA.
    9. Enforceability. This provision survives termination of your account or relationship with YGG, bankruptcy, assignment, or transfer. If the class action waiver is deemed unenforceable (i.e., unenforceability would allow arbitration to proceed as a class or representative action), then this entire arbitration provision shall be rendered null and void and shall not apply. If a portion of this arbitration provision (other than the class action waiver) is deemed unenforceable, the remaining portions of this arbitration provision shall remain in full force and effect.
    10. Miscellaneous. Failure or any delay in enforcing this arbitration provision in connection with any particular Claims will not constitute a waiver of any rights to require arbitration at a later time or in connection with any other Claims. This provision is the entire arbitration agreement between you and YGG and shall not be modified except in a writing signed by an authorized representative of YGG.
    11. Amendments. YGG reserves the right to amend this arbitration provision at any time. Your continued use of any Yamaha Guitar Group Website, purchase of a Yamaha Guitar Group product, or use or attempted use of a Yamaha Guitar Group product, is affirmation of your consent to such changes. Should the changes to this arbitration provision be material, YGG will provide you notice and an opportunity to opt-out. Your continued use of any Yamaha Guitar Group Website, purchase of a Yamaha Guitar Group product, or use or attempted use of a Yamaha Guitar Group product, is affirmation of your consent to such material changes.
    12. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, USE, OR ATTEMPTED USE OF A YAMAHA GUITAR GROUP PRODUCT (WHICHEVER COMES FIRST) BY WRITING TO: YAMAHA GUITAR GROUP, INC., ATTN: LEGAL DEPARTMENT, 26580 AGOURA ROAD, CALABASAS, CA 91302.
