Without limitation of the foregoing, you will not settle, compromise or in any other manner dispose of any Claim without the written consent of BQE. Your obligations under this Section will survive the termination or expiration of this EULA.
MEDIATION AND BINDING ARBITRATION

BQE will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, you agree that any complaint, dispute or disagreement you may have against BQE, and any claim that BQE may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this EULA, any purchases or other transactions or relationships with BQE, or your use of or interaction with the Software and any related services or content (collectively, “BQE Transactions or Relationships”) will be settled, first, by mediation to take place within thirty (30) days of the written notice of such dispute and, second, if the parties are unable to settle such dispute by mediation in such thirty (30)-day period, then by binding arbitration ("Arbitration") administered by JAMS or its successor ("JAMS") and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the "Applicable Rules"). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If JAMS is no longer in existence, the Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the "AAA") instead, and conducted in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at that time (which shall be the "Applicable Rules" in such circumstances). You further agree to the following:
1. The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and BQE (the "Arbitrator").
2. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this EULA and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section 21, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this EULA is void or voidable.
3. The Arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and held either: (i) in Los Angeles County, California, U.S.A.; or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and BQE; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission.
4. The Arbitrator (i) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with California or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (ii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iii) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief.
5. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or BQE Software's individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.
6. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator's complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an "Award"). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and its share of the costs of the arbitration, as the Arbitrator determines. In no event will the Arbitrator have the authority to award punitive damages or any other damages expressly limited by this EULA.
7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 21, a party may seek equitable relief by court action before or after instituting arbitration, including, without limitation, seeking and obtaining temporary restraining orders, injunctions or other provisional, ancillary or equitable remedies, and the institution and maintenance of any such action shall not constitute a waiver of the right to arbitrate any controversy or claim.
8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and BQE adopt and agree to implement the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure with respect to any final Award in the Arbitration.
9. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND BQE SOFTWARE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPOSED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING IN ANY FORUM.
10. BQE may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after BQE has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from BQE Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification.
GENERAL
1. This EULA shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of California as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within the State of California, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the United States, irrespective of any conflict of law principles. Subject to the arbitration provisions above, any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this EULA or any other BQE Transactions or Relationships must be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles County, California, USA, and you irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and agree that it is a convenient forum and that you will not seek to transfer such action or proceeding to any other forum or jurisdiction, under the doctrine of forum non conveniens or otherwise, and you agree to waive any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other party with respect thereto. In each case this EULA shall be construed and enforced without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods.
2. This EULA contains and represents the complete agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, between the parties with respect to its subject matter. No dealers, suppliers, distributors, agents, representatives or employees of BQE are authorized to amend or modify this EULA or to make any representations, commitments, guarantees, or warranties binding on BQE, unless set forth in a writing signed by an officer of BQE. To the extent there are varying, contradicting or additional terms contained in any purchase order or other written notification or document issued by you in relation to the Software licensed under this EULA, the provisions of this EULA shall govern, and such varying, contradicting or additional terms shall be of no effect. No failure or delay of BQE to exercise any right, power or privilege under this EULA or upon any breach of this EULA will operate as a waiver of thereof or any further rights, power or privileges under this EULA or of such breach. No waiver of any of the provisions of this EULA shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof, nor shall any such waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided.
3. If any provision of this EULA shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid under applicable law or contrary to law, that provision will be modified to accomplish the purpose of such provision to the maximum extent permissible under the law and the remaining provisions of this EULA shall remain in full force and effect.
4. Unless otherwise required by law, any claim or cause of action (including any arbitration) arising out of or relating to this EULA or any other BQE Transactions or Relationships must be commenced within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose.
5.
