You may not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the concerned Company Parties.    23.3.    Without limitation, the Indemnitor also agrees to compensate CCFC  for any and all lost revenues, future lost profits, reasonable search costs, and any other reasonable expenses resulting from any Indemnitor violation of Section 19 (Prohibited Uses), including without limitation any suspension of affiliate accounts or affiliate payment attributable to fraudulent efforts to manipulate or otherwise modify reported impressions generated by the Company Parties under any affiliate advertising agreement.    Dispute Resolution. 24.1.    Binding Arbitration.    24.1.1. If you and CCFC  cannot resolve a Claim through negotiations, either party may elect to have the Claim finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s).    24.1.2. You acknowledge that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court with a jury trial or to participate in a class action.    24.1.3. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.    24.1.4. For Agents, the arbitration shall be commenced and conducted pursuant to Section J9 of CompanyÕs Policies and Procedures.  For all other persons and entities, and to the extent Section J9 is found to be unenforceable or inapplicable to you, then you understand and agree that the following will apply:  The arbitration will commence under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, available at the AAA website www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, CCFC  will pay the AAA filing, administration, and arbitrator fees. If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then you will pay the arbitrator fees, in addition to any amount that exceeds the filing fees. In that case, you also agree to reimburse CCFC  for all payments disbursed that are your obligation to reimburse under the AAA Rules. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. All issues are for the arbitrator to resolve, except that issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a Court of Competent Jurisdiction to resolve. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through document submission, through telephone, or online. The arbitrator will issue a decision in writing, but need only provide a statement of reasons if requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. CCFC  may litigate to compel arbitration in court, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to modify, confirm, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall award costs to the prevailing party (including, without limitation, fees, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees) at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party, within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.    24.2.    Restrictions Against Joinder of Claims.    24.2.1. You and CCFC  agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each Claim individually. You and CCFC  agree that each may only bring claims against the other in your or CCFC 's individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.    24.2.2. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, the Claim will still be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration upon the election of either party, and any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other(s). In addition: (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration, and (2) there is no right for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures, and (3) there is no right of authority for any dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf either of the general public or any other individuals.    24.3.    Remedies in Aid of Arbitration; Equitable Relief. This agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or CCFC  from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration, including without limitation orders to stay a court action, compel arbitration, or confirm an arbitral award, from a Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not preclude you or CCFC  from applying to a Court of Competent Jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief, as necessary. "Court of Competent Jurisdiction" means any federal or state court: (1) that has jurisdiction over the subject matter; and (2) that is located in the State of Ohio.    24.4.    Venue for any Judicial Proceeding.    24.4.1. This Agreement, including without limitation this Agreement's interpretation, shall be treated as though this Agreement were executed and performed in the State of Ohio, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio without regard to its conflict of law principles. The language in this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its fair meaning and not strictly for or against either party.    24.4.2. The proper venue for any judicial action arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement will be the state and federal courts located in or nearest to Milford, Ohio. The parties stipulate to, and agree to waive any objection to, the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts, and further expressly submit to extraterritorial service of process.    Termination. 25.1.    By Company. Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement, CCFC  reserves the right to, in CCFC 's sole discretion and without notice or liability, deny use of the Website to any person for any reason or for no reason at all, including without limitation for any breach or suspected breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement, or of any applicable law or regulation.    25.2.    Automatic Termination Upon Breach by You. This Agreement shall automatically terminate if you breach any of this Agreement's representations, warranties, or covenants. Such termination shall be automatic, and shall not require any action by CCFC .    25.3.    By You. You may terminate this Agreement and your rights under it at any time, for any or no reason at all, by providing to CCFC  notice of your intention to do so, in the manner required by Section 26 (Notices).    25.4.    Effect of Termination.    25.4.1. Any termination of this Agreement automatically terminates all rights and licenses granted to you under this Agreement, including all rights to use the Website. Upon termination, CCFC  may, but has no obligation to, in CCFC 's sole discretion, rescind any services and/or delete from CCFC 's systems all your Personal Information and any other files or information that you made available to CCFC  or that otherwise relate to your use of the Website. Upon termination, you shall cease any use of the Website.    25.4.2. After termination, CCFC  reserves the right to exercise whatever means it deems necessary to prevent your unauthorized use of the Website, including without limitation technological barriers such as IP blocking and direct contact with your Internet Service Provider.    25.5.    Legal Action. If CCFC , in CCFC 's discretion, takes legal action against you in connection with any actual or suspected breach of this Agreement, CCFC  will be entitled to recover from you as part of such legal action, and you agree to pay, CCFC 's reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred as a result of such legal action. The Company Parties will have no legal obligation or other liability to you or to any third party arising out of or relating to any termination of this Agreement.
