Our Terms of Use

Effective August 29, 2024

Please read the following carefully. These Terms of Use (these “Terms”) govern your access to and use of Keystone Law Group, P.C.’s (“Keystone,” “we,” “us,” “our”) website at keystone-law.com (the “Site”) and/or your engagement with any of our content (collectively, with the Site, the “Service”).

“You” or “your” or similar terms refer to you as a user of our Service. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a legal entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that party to these Terms, and in such event and unless otherwise noted, “you” and “your” will refer and apply to that party. If you or the entity you represent has entered into a separate agreement with us in connection with the use of any Keystone services, then that agreement will control where it conflicts with the terms hereof.

This is a binding agreement. If you use the Service or click accept or agree to these Terms if presented to you in a user interface for the Service, we will understand this as your acceptance of these Terms and your agreement to all of its terms and conditions. By accepting these Terms or using the Service, you represent and warrant that you have the legal capacity to enter a contract in the jurisdiction where you reside.

If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you are not authorized to use the Service and you must promptly cease using it.

By agreeing to these Terms, you expressly agree to the arbitration of all Disputes as further described below. Any controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to the Service, these Terms, or any additional terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, a “Dispute”), except for any controversy, allegation, or claim that arises out of or relates to our actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”), shall be finally resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that these Terms do not permit class arbitration, or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration provisions will remain in force.

THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICE SHALL IN NO EVENT BE CONSIDERED OR RELIED UPON AS LEGAL ADVICE OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR SEEKING THE ADVICE AND COUNSEL OF A LICENSED ATTORNEY. THE SITE IS NOT A SOLICITATION OR AN OFFER TO REPRESENT YOU.

The information provided on the Site is not intended to create and does not create an attorney-client relationship with KEYSTONE or with any attorney at KEYSTONE. AN ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP iS NOT FORMED unless and until you and KEYSTONE conclude a formal agreement of engagement.

DESPITE THE FACT THAT individual KEYSTONE ATTORNEYS may be licensed, admitted, or authorized to practice in other jurisdictions, KEYSTONE maintains offices in California and does not intend or purport to practice law in any other jurisdiction. Lawyers identified on the Service are admitted to practice law only in the jurisdictions indicated in their biographies.

2. Permitted Use and Restrictions

License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Terms, Keystone hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive, personal, non-transferrable, non-sublicensable, non-assignable license to access and use the Service solely for use on a Device that you own or control. We reserve all other rights, which are not granted in these Terms.
Use Restrictions. You may not access or use the Service in any way that is not expressly permitted by these Terms.

Eligibility. You may only use the Service if you are an individual 18 years of age or older or a duly organized, validly existing business, organization, or other legal entity in good standing under any and all applicable laws, and able to enter into legally binding contracts. Individuals under the age of 18 are not permitted to use the Service.
We may, but are not obligated to, monitor, or review our Service at any time. If we become aware of any possible violations by you of these Terms, we reserve the right to investigate such violations, and we may, at our sole discretion, immediately terminate your license to use the Service pursuant to Section 12 (Termination) below.
Violation of these Terms. You must not use (or permit a third-party to use) the Service: (i) in any unlawful manner, for any unlawful purpose, or to act fraudulently or maliciously, for example, by hacking into or inserting malicious code, including viruses, or harmful data, into the Service or any operating system used by the Service; (ii) in a way that could damage, disable, overburden, impair or compromise our systems or security, or interfere with other users; (iii) to collect or harvest any information or data from the Service or our systems or attempt to decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (iv) via use of a robot, spider, or other automated device to monitor or copy the Service or any information provided by the Service; (v) to send, knowingly receive, upload, download, use, or re-use any material which does not comply with these Terms; or (vi) to transmit, or procure the sending of, any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material or any other form of similar solicitation (spam). You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible, and Keystone has no responsibility or liability to you or any other person or entity, for any breach by you of these Terms or for the consequences of any such breach.

3. Privacy

These Terms also incorporate the terms of our Privacy Policy (as updated from time-to-time). Our Privacy Policy explains how your personal information will be collected and used as well as other information regarding your privacy. By agreeing to these Terms, you are also agreeing to the Privacy Policy and you consent to (i) the processing of your personal information as explained in the Privacy Policy and (ii) the collection of information from your Device as explained in the Privacy Policy.

4. No Legal Advice; No Solicitation

The Service is provided for educational purposes only. You acknowledge and agree that the Service does not constitute legal advice. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of the Service without seeking appropriate legal advice. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF ACTIONS TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN BASED ON THE SERVICE.
The Service is not a solicitation or an offer to represent you. If the Service fails to comply with the laws or ethical rules of your jurisdiction, please do not consider this as a solicitation or as any indication that KEYSTONE wishes or is available to represent you.
Although individual KEYSTONE lawyers may be licensed, admitted, or authorized to practice in other jurisdictions, KEYSTONE maintains offices in California and does not intend or purport to practice law in any other jurisdiction. Lawyers identified on the Service are admitted to practice law only in the jurisdictions indicated in their biographies.

5. “Free Consultation” or “Consultation” Offers:

Although the information you provide will help us review whether we can represent you, do not give us any information that is not generally known to other persons interested in your matter. Such information can include, but is not limited to, settlement issues (including what you might accept and the timing of any possible offer), your personal accounts of the relevant events, your strategic thinking about the matter, an outline of potential claims (or, presumably, defenses), and your personal financial information. Unless and until you are otherwise requested by an attorney at Keystone, you should not provide any information other than that which you believe is reasonably necessary for you and us to decide whether we will represent you.
Contacting Keystone and sending information to us does not mean that we will provide you with a consultation with an attorney. Not all persons who request a consultation with an attorney at Keystone will be given one. To qualify for a consultation, your matter must meet several criteria to ensure we can provide the highest level of service, which can include, among other things, that (1) the matter falls within our particular practice areas, (2) the financial aspects of the case, such as the value of the estate and the amount in dispute (and not your personal ability to pay our charges), to determine if they meet our minimum thresholds, and (3) a conflict check is conducted to confirm that there are no conflicts of interest. This comprehensive evaluation ensures that we can proceed with a consultation that is ethical, productive, and tailored to your specific legal requirements.
Even if we provide you with a consultation with one of our attorneys, it does not mean that Keystone can or will represent you. We will not represent you unless both you and Keystone enter into a written, signed fee agreement relating to a specific representation. Finally, you agree that if no representation results from the consultation, any information disclosed during the consultation will not prohibit our firm from representing a different client in the same or a substantially similar matter as yours.

6. Mobile Messaging Terms and Conditions

By agreeing to these Terms or using the Service, you also agree to receive communications from us, including via email, text message (to the extent permitted by applicable law), calls, and push notifications. Communications from us may include responses to your inquiries or marketing materials.
If you wish to opt-out of promotional emails, you can unsubscribe from our promotional email list by following the unsubscribe options in the promotional email itself or by contacting us at the information in Section 17 (Contact Information) below.
In addition, Keystone offers a mobile messaging program (the “Program”), which you agree to use and participate in subject to these Mobile Messaging Terms and Conditions (for purposes of this Section 5, the “Agreement”). By opting-in to or participating in any of our Programs, you accept and agree to these Terms, including, without limitation, your agreement to resolve any disputes with us through binding, individual-only arbitration, as detailed in Section 14 (Dispute Resolution) below. This Agreement is limited to the Program and is not intended to modify other Terms or the Privacy Policy that may govern the relationship between you and Keystone in other contexts.
User Opt-In: The Program allows users to receive SMS/MMS mobile messages by affirmatively opting into the Program, such as through online enrollment forms. Regardless of the opt-in method you utilized to join the Program, you agree that this Agreement applies to your participation in the Program and you acknowledge and agree that your information may be shared with third-party service providers who help us administer the Program. By participating in the Program, you agree to receive auto-dialed or prerecorded marketing mobile messages at the phone number associated with your opt-in. While you consent to receive messages sent using an auto-dialer, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of our mobile messages are sent using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS” or “auto-dialer”). Message and data rates may apply.
User Opt-Out: If you do not wish to continue participating in the Program or no longer agree to this Agreement, you agree to reply STOP to any mobile message from Keystone to opt out of the Program. You may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt-out. You understand and agree that the foregoing option is the only reasonable method of opting out. You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than the word STOP or verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from our list, is not a reasonable means of opting out.
Duty to Notify and Indemnify: If at any time you intend to stop using the mobile telephone number that has been used to subscribe to the Program, including canceling your service plan or selling or transferring the phone number to another party, you agree that you will complete the User Opt-Out process set forth above prior to ending your use of the mobile telephone number. You understand and agree that your agreement to do so is a material part of these Terms. You further agree that, if you discontinue the use of your mobile telephone number without notifying Keystone of such change, you agree that you will be responsible for all costs (including attorneys’ fees) and liabilities incurred by Keystone, or any party that assists in the delivery of the mobile messages, as a result of claims brought by individual(s) who are later assigned that mobile telephone number. This duty and Agreement shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs. YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD US HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO NOTIFY US OF A CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE PROVIDED, INCLUDING ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY UNDER THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, 47 U.S.C. § 227, OR SIMILAR STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS, AND ANY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER RESULTING FROM US ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT YOU AT THE MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER YOU PROVIDED.
Program Description: Without limiting the scope of the Program, users that opt into the Program can expect to receive messages concerning the marketing and sale of services and events.
Cost and Frequency: Message and data rates may apply. The Program involves recurring mobile messages, and additional mobile messages may be sent periodically based on your interaction with Keystone.
MMS Disclosure: The Program will send SMS TMs (terminating messages) if your mobile device does not support MMS messaging.
Our Disclaimer of Warranty: The Program is offered on an “as-is” basis and may not be available in all areas at all times and may not continue to work in the event of product, software, or coverage change or other changes made by your wireless carrier. We will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any mobile messages connected with this Program. Delivery of mobile messages is subject to effective transmission from your wireless service provider/network operator and is outside of Keystone’s control.
Participant Requirements: You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your device capabilities for specific text messaging instructions.

7. Idea Submissions

We welcome feedback from our users and appreciate your comments regarding our Service. However, our company policy does not permit us to accept or consider ideas, suggestions, proposals, or materials (“Submissions”) that we have not specifically requested. This policy is intended to help us, and our users avoid future misunderstandings when new products or services developed internally by our employees might be similar or even identical to a user’s idea.
If, despite our request that you not send us your ideas, you still submit them, then regardless of any conditions you may have attempted to place on your Submission, the following terms shall apply to your Submission: you acknowledge and agree that: (i) such Submissions will be considered non-confidential and non-proprietary; (ii) we have the right (subject to our Privacy Policy), without limit in time and without payment to you, to use, copy, distribute, adapt, and disclose it via the Service or otherwise to third parties for any purpose, in any way, and in any media worldwide now known or later discovered, including, without limitation, the right to create derivative works, make improvements, perform (including through digital performance), and transmit (including through digital transmissions) such Submissions, and the right to transfer or sublicense such rights; (iii) we may have something similar to the Submissions already under consideration or in development; and (iv) you are not entitled to any compensation or reimbursement of any kind from us in connection with the Submissions under any circumstances. The foregoing shall not apply to information received in connection with any matter that is subject to a separate confidentiality agreement between you and Keystone (if applicable).

8. Intellectual Property Rights

Trademarks. Keystone’s name and logo are trademarks and service marks of Keystone. You do not have the right to use any of our trademarks, service marks, or logos, and your unauthorized use of any of these may be a violation of federal and state trademark laws.
Ownership. You acknowledge that all intellectual property rights in the Service, whether registered or unregistered, including but not limited to rights in graphics, logos, “look and feel,” trade dress, structure, organization, code, and all other content in the Service and compilation thereof, anywhere in the world, belong to us or our licensors and are valuable trade secrets and confidential information of Keystone, and are protected by intellectual property laws. You acknowledge and agree that Keystone, and/or its licensors, own all right, title, and interest in and to the Service, including all intellectual property, industrial property, and proprietary rights recognized anywhere in the world at any time and that the Service is protected by U.S. and international copyright laws. Further, you acknowledge that the Service may contain information that Keystone has designated as confidential, and you agree not to disclose such information without Keystone’s prior written consent. Nothing posted on the Service grants a license to any Keystone trademarks, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise. You should assume that everything you see or read on the Service is proprietary information protected by copyright or trademark unless otherwise noted and may not be used except with the written permission of Keystone. When accessing the Service, you agree to obey the law and to respect the intellectual property rights of others. Your use of the Service is at all times governed by and subject to laws regarding copyright ownership and use of intellectual property.

9. Third-Party Sites and Services

The Service may contain links to or allow you to share content directly with other third-party websites (“Third-Party Sites”). You acknowledge that we have no control over the Third-Party Sites and are not responsible for their contents and/or availability. We do not assume any liability for your use of any of the foregoing, which you acknowledge and agree shall be at your own risk.
These links are provided to you for convenience only and do not constitute an endorsement or approval by us of the organizations that operate such websites, the content, or other material contained in the Third-Party Sites, and we have no association with their operators. Your use of the Third-Party Sites will be governed by their terms and conditions and privacy policies (if any) (“Third-Party Terms”). It is your responsibility to read and comply with Third-Party Terms.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold us and our affiliates, and their respective business partners, licensees, licensors, officers, directors, employees, and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), arising out of or in connection with: (i) your use of the Service; (ii) your breach or violation of any of these Terms; or (iii) your violation of any law, rule, or regulation or of the rights of any third party. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, which shall not excuse your indemnity obligations. In such event, you shall provide the Indemnified Parties with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by the Indemnified Parties.

11. Warranty Disclaimer

WE PROVIDE THE SERVICE ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. WE MAKE NO GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO CORRECT ANY BUGS, DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE SERVICE OR TO OTHERWISE SUPPORT, DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN THE SERVICE. While we take reasonable precautions to prevent the existence of computer viruses and/or other malicious programs, we accept no liability for them. We also make no promises or guarantees, whether express or implied, that the content included on the Service is accurate, complete, or up to date.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE EXCLUDE ALL CONDITIONS, WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS AND OTHER TERMS, WHICH MAY APPLY TO THE SERVICE WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THE RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE AND ALL INFORMATION AND CONTENT INCLUDED ON THE SERVICE.
No information or advice obtained through the Service, or affirmation by us, by words or actions, shall constitute a warranty.
Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS, ANY BREACH OF SECURITY OR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE, LOST DATA, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR LOSSES ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF OR RELIANCE ON THE SERVICE OR YOUR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE ARISING FROM, RELATING TO, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE USE OR THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, ARISING AND WHETHER FRAMED IN CONTRACT OR TORT, REGARDLESS OF THE NEGLIGENCE (EITHER ACTIVE, AFFIRMATIVE, SOLE, OR CONCURRENT) OF KEYSTONE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Your sole remedy for dissatisfaction with the Service including, without limitation, content offered on the Service, is to stop using the Service. Such limitation shall also apply with respect to damages incurred by reason of services or products received through or advertised in connection with the Service or any links on the Service, as well as by reason of any information or advice received through or advertised in connection with the Service or any links on the Service. Such limitation shall also apply with respect to damages incurred by reason of any content posted by a third-party or conduct of a third-party on the Service.
In the event the foregoing exclusion of liability is determined, in whole or in part, to be invalid or unenforceable, then the Indemnified Parties’ liability arising in connection with the Service or under these Terms whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, shall not exceed, under any circumstances, One Hundred Dollars ($100). You agree that any claim or cause of action arising under these Terms or the performance or non-performance of the Service must be brought within one year after such claim or cause of action arises or be forever barred. THIS TIME PERIOD MAY BE SHORTER THAN OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW.
THE LIMITATIONS AND DISCLAIMER IN THIS SECTION DO NOT PURPORT TO LIMIT LIABILITY OR ALTER YOUR RIGHTS AS A CONSUMER THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW. BECAUSE SOME STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF OR THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, IN SUCH STATES OR JURISDICTIONS, KEYSTONE’S LIABILITY SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. THIS PROVISION SHALL HAVE NO EFFECT ON KEYSTONE’S GOVERNING LAW PROVISION SET FORTH BELOW.
IF YOU ARE A CALIFORNIA RESIDENT, YOU WAIVE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH STATES: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

13. Termination

We may terminate these Terms and/or terminate your permission to use the Service immediately, without prior notice or liability, if (i) you commit any breach of these Terms, (ii) we discontinue the Service, or (ii) we are prevented from providing the Service for any reason.
Furthermore, we reserve the right to change, edit, suspend, delete, and/or cancel any part of the Service and/or your access to it at any time with or without notice to you: (i) if required by law, or (ii) due to an event beyond our control.
On termination of these Terms for any reason: (i) all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, (ii) you must immediately cease all activities authorized by these Terms (including your use of the Service), and (iii) you acknowledge that we may restrict your access to the Service. Sections 3 and 6–14 will survive any termination or expiration of these Terms. Any other provision that express states or by its nature shall survive, shall so survive the termination or expiration of these Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms and any matter arising out of or relating to these Terms, and any claim, cause of action, controversy, or matter in dispute between you and us, whether sounding in contract, tort, statute, regulation, or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California in the United States, without regard to any choice or conflict of laws principles (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).

15. Dispute Resolution

Concerns. Most concerns can be resolved quickly by contacting us at the contact details in Section 17 (Contact Information) below.
Arbitration Procedures. In the event your concern cannot be resolved informally, you and Keystone agree that, except as provided in Section 14(e) below, all Disputes, (each a “Claim”), shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in these Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section 14 (Dispute Resolution) and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section will control and prevail.Except as otherwise set forth in Section 14(e) below, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state, or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and Keystone will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given, and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, (i) you and Keystone may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision shall be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law.IN THE CASE OF ARBITRATION AND WHERE PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A FAIR HEARING, BUT THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. ARBITRATOR DECISIONS ARE ENFORCEABLE AS ANY COURT ORDER AND ARE SUBJECT TO VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
Location. The arbitration will take place in the City of Los Angeles, California unless the parties agree to video, phone, or internet connection appearances.
Limitations. You and Keystone agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Claim between Keystone and you individually. YOU AND KEYSTONE AGREE THAT (i) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (ii) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (iii) NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION.
Exceptions to Arbitration. You and Keystone agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning binding arbitration: (i) any Excluded Dispute; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration.
Arbitration Fees. If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will need to pay the JAMS arbitration initiation fee. If we initiate arbitration for a Claim, we will pay the costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules.
Severability. You and Keystone agree that if any portion of this Section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 14(e)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of the Section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 14(e) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Keystone will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 14(e) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim shall be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the City of Los Angeles, California, and you and Keystone agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

16. Additional Important Terms

Assignment. The rights granted to you under these Terms may not be assigned without Keystone’s prior written consent, and any attempted unauthorized assignment by you shall be null and void.
Severability. Except as otherwise provided in Section 14(g), if any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, then that portion shall be severed, and the remainder of the Terms shall be given full force and effect.
Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any litigation or arbitration is brought by either party in connection with these Terms, except as otherwise provided in Section 14(f), the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees, and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in any legal action relating to these Terms.
No Waiver. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect our right to enforce the same provision at a later time. An express waiver by Keystone of any provision, condition, or requirement of these Terms shall not be understood as a waiver of your obligation to comply with the same provision, condition, or requirement at a later time.
Equitable Remedies. You acknowledge and agree that Keystone would be irreparably damaged if the terms of these Terms were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that we shall be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to any breach of these Terms, in addition to such other remedies as we may otherwise have available to us under applicable laws.
Entire Agreement. These Terms, including the documents referenced in these Terms, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Keystone with respect to the Service and supersedes any and all prior agreements between you and Keystone relating to the Service.
Transfer. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to another organization but this will not affect your rights or our obligations under these Terms.

17. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to amend these Terms at any time. As applicable, we will notify you of material changes to these Terms when you next access the Service (we may also email you about any material changes to these Terms). We reserve the right at any time and from time-to-time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service (or any part of it) with or without notice.
