13. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration
Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Cookingsys and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Except for any disputes in which either party seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address, if the dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court, or seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property, you and Cookingsys waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Products or Services resolved in court. Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Products or Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in King County, Oregon before and in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules“) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS“), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby .orporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
You and Cookingsys agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Products or Services is personal to you and Cookingsys and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and Cookingsys agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 13 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA“), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and Cookingsys agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Cookingsys will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Cookingsys, Cookingsys will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and Cookingsys agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Oregon and the United States sitting in King County, Oregon have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
Any claim you may have arising out of or related to these Terms or our Products or Services must be filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, your claim is permanently barred, which means that you and Cookingsys will not have the right to assert the claim.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 13 by writing to us at Cookingsys International, .. 207 SE Oak St. Hillsboro, OR 97123 In order to be effective, the opt out notice must .lude your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration.

14. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms and your access to and use of our Products and Services will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of Oregon, without regard to conflict of law rules or pr.iples that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of Oregon and the United States, respectively, sitting in Washington County, Oregon.
15. Severability

16. Miscellaneous
These Terms and any additional terms agreed to between you and Cookingsys constitute the entire agreement between you and Cookingsys relating to your access to and use of our Services and Products. The failure of Cookingsys to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.
