You will cooperate as fully as required by us in the defense or settlement of any claim. We will provide you with timely notice of any such claim, suit or proceeding.
- Arbitration, Class-Action Waiver, and Jury Waiver
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.
Waiver of Jury Trial. THE HARMONIST AND YOU EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL DISPUTES, EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR INFRINGEMENT OF YOUR OR OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, DOMAINS, LOGOS, TRADE DRESS, TRADE SECRETS, AND PATENTS). Such disputes include but not limited to those relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and publicity, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration, which is typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. The Harmonist and you agree not to combine a dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Agreement with a dispute that is not eligible for arbitration under this Agreement.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth herein.
Required Use of AAA. You agree that the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is started, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (together, the “AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be presided over by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The AAA Rules, information regarding initiating a dispute, and a description of the arbitration process are available at www.adr.org. The arbitrator will decide whether a dispute can be arbitrated. The location of the arbitration and the allocation of fees and costs for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Opt-Out Procedure. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither we nor you can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing postmarked within 30 days of the later of: (i) the date that you first accepted our Terms and Conditions of Use; and (ii) the date you became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt-out:
The Harmonist
8483 Melrose Place
Los Angeles, CA 90069
You must include: (1) your name and residence address; (2) the mobile phone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate.
Place to File Permitted Court Actions. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, if your dispute is related to intellectual property rights, or if the arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, you and The Harmonist agree and consent that such disputes will be resolved in the federal or state courts in Los Angeles, California and that agree to submit to personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Los Angeles, California.
Time Limit to Start Arbitration. We and you agree that for any dispute (except intellectual property disputes) must commence an arbitration proceeding within one year after the dispute first arose; otherwise, such dispute is permanently barred. This means that if we or you do not commence an arbitration within one year after the dispute first arose, the arbitration will be dismissed as untimely.
Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with The Harmonist.

Miscellaneous
This Agreement, which includes our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices published on the website, constitute the entire agreement between you and us. If any part of this Agreement are determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect.
Our failure or delay to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this agreement. We may assign our rights and duties under this agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.
All of our rights and obligations under our Agreement are freely assignable by us to any of our affiliates or in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, or by operation of law or otherwise, and we may transfer your information to any of our affiliates, successor entities, or new owner. You will not transfer any of your rights or obligations under our Agreement to anyone else without our prior written consent.
