8. Governing Law/Legal Proceedings

The substantive laws (as distinguished from the choice of law rules) of the state of California and the United States of America applicable to contracts made and performed entirely in California and where the relevant contacts are with such state shall govern: (i) the validity and interpretation of these Terms, (ii) the performance by the parties of their respective obligations hereunder, and (iii) all other causes of action (whether sounding in contract or in tort) arising out of or relating to these Terms or the termination of these Terms. These terms specifically will not be governed by the United Nations Conventions On Contracts For The International Sale Of Goods, if otherwise applicable.

The parties hereby agree to submit any disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to any of these Terms or the breach thereof to a referee mutually selected by the parties (or if they cannot agree, to a judicial referee appointed by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles) and appointed and serving pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 or any amendment, addition or successor section thereto, which referee shall sit in Los Angeles County, California, without a jury, and shall hear, try and determine all issues in the case, whether of fact or law, and report a statement of decision thereon; provided, however, that if prior to the appointment of the referee, either party desires to obtain a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order or similar provisional judicial order or decree, the party may seek and obtain such order or decree from any court of competent jurisdiction located in Los Angeles County, California, but the foregoing shall not limit or affect the application of this subparagraph (B) to all other matters, including any other relief sought by either party with respect to the dispute or controversy giving rise to such judicial order or decree. The parties intend this general reference agreement to be specifically enforceable. If the parties do not agree upon the fees to be paid to the selected or appointed referee, the fees shall be fixed and paid, as if the reference to such referee were involuntary, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 645.1 and 1023. Any retrial of any issue shall be subject to the provisions of this Paragraph in the same manner as specified hereinabove.

9. Remedies

You agree that a breach by you of any provision of these terms would cause Rightsline damage which could not readily be remedied by an action at law and might, in addition, constitute an infringement of copyright and/or trademark and/or other applicable laws. Any such breach would, therefore, entitle the Site Parties to equitable remedies, costs and attorneys’ fees in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or by law.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, you agree that in the event of any dispute between the parties, the damages, if any, caused to you are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle you to enjoin or restrain the development, production, launch, advertising, exhibition or exploitation of the Site or any film, television program, show, web site, property, production or materials owned or controlled by Rightsline.

10. Miscellaneous

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. No waiver by any party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against Rightsline by virtue of having drafted these Terms. The Site will determine your compliance with these Terms in its sole discretion and may cancel your access to the Site at any time for any reason. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect.

11. Notification of Changes

The Site may change, revise or add to this Agreement from time to time without prior notice ("Updated Terms"). You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting it on the Site so it is accessible via a link on the homepage, and that your use of the Site after we have posted the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms.
