If you pursue a legal claim against Urban One, you agree to binding arbitration administered by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, with limited exceptions for individual small-claims court actions. By using the Services, you give up your right to go to court and to participate in a class action or other class proceeding; your rights will instead be determined by a neutral arbitrator, and the arbitrator may grant any relief a court could. If this arbitration agreement is held unenforceable, litigation may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in New York, New York.
Governing Law. The laws of New York, U.S.A., and the Federal Arbitration Act govern any disputes arising out of these Terms or the Services, except where prohibited by law or superseded by mandatory consumer protection legislation. Venue. Except for claims properly brought in small claims court, all claims that are not submitted to arbitration will be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of New York, New York, and you consent to those courts' jurisdiction and waive any inconvenient-forum objection.
No failure or delay by Urban One in exercising any right under these Terms operates as a waiver of it. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect, and section titles are for convenience only. These Terms and any Additional Terms represent the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior understandings, and may not be amended except in text form by the party to be charged. You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms without Urban One's prior written consent.
