The Parties agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this provision for arbitration will be interpreted and enforce in accord with the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. The parties agree that they will not seek and an arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what this Agreement expressly provides, and may not order consolidation or class arbitration. Each party will bear the costs of arbitration equally but each is responsible for its own attorney fees in arbitration and legal proceedings.
Any arbitration shall be confidential and neither party may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction. If any portion of this dispute clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.
For any matter not subject to arbitration, the parties agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California or the Los Angeles County Superior Court, as appropriate. This Agreement shall be governed by the law of the State of California without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof.
YOU acknowledge that Paragraphs 4 through 7 and 9 through 19 are material terms of this Agreement. In as much as actual damages that would result from a breach of these provisions would be impractical or extremely difficult to fix, YOU acknowledge that Ivenue shall have the right to seek injunctive relief to prevent any anticipated or on-going breach of these provisions.

Moreover, in the event of any breach of Paragraphs 4 through 7 and 9 through 19 by YOU, or in the event of any misrepresentation by YOU, and without affecting any other obligations by YOU and any other relief to which Ivenue otherwise is entitled to under this Agreement or applicable law, including but not limited to recovery of actual damages, YOU will forfeit any and all of his rights to receive any payments or benefits described in Paragraph 7 of this Agreement that are scheduled to take place but have not yet taken place after the date of such breach or misrepresentation.
