Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to and notwithstanding the terms stated above, the following will apply to your dispute:

(a) the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Agreement, including
any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable;

(b) the arbitrator will not have the power to conduct any form of class or collective arbitration, nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals; and

(c) YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A COURT TRIAL (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED HEREIN) OR TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING AGAINST US OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
The arbitration proceeding and the results thereof will be kept confidential by each party and not used for any purpose other than a party exercising its rights and fulfilling its obligations with respect to the other party; provided, however that either party may disclose the existence and results of the proceedings: (a) as required by law, rule, or regulation; (b) to its accountants, attorneys, and other fiduciaries; and (c) to an arbitrator or third party who has exercised its rights under this Section for use as persuasive authority in other proceedings brought pursuant to this Section.
Exceptions: The terms of the Arbitration Agreement above will apply to all disputes that may arise out of, or connected with, or related to this Agreement or the Service, subject only to the following exceptions: (a) If Rbeatz reasonably believes that you have in any manner acted or failed to act in any manner that may cause harm to us or any third party, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction; or (b) any dispute may, at the option of the claiming party, be resolved in small claims court in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, provided that all claims by all parties in the dispute fall within the jurisdiction of the small claims court, and were unsuccessfully resolved through the Informal Resolution procedure required herein.
Furthermore, in no event will the terms of this Section limit Rbeatz’s ability to investigate complaints or reported violations of this Agreement, or to take any action we deem necessary and appropriate to mitigate actions against us, including reporting any suspected unlawful activity to law enforcement officials, regulators, or other third parties such as music rightholders.

Limitation of Actions: Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of, relating to, or connected with your use of the Service, must be filed within twelve (12) months of the date the facts giving rise to the suit were known or should have been known by you, or forever be barred.
Enforceability: If the class action waiver is found to be unenforceable in arbitration or if the entirety of this Section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be null and void and, in such case, you agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Rbeatz must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, except as otherwise agreed by the parties and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Mecklenburg County, North Carolina for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.
