b) Subject to subsection a) above, any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be determined by arbitration in San Ramon, California; provided, however, either party may bring their claim in small claims court to the extent that court has jurisdiction over the claim. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS (or any like organization successor thereto). The arbitrator shall follow any applicable federal law and California state law in rendering an award. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. In any action or suit to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, to interpret any provisions of this Agreement, or to settle a dispute between the parties hereto, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS MEANS THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE, AND YOU HEREBY WAIVE, THE RIGHT FOR A JUDGE OR JURY TO DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS, AND THAT YOU MAY NOT PROCEED IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. Other rights that you and we would otherwise have in court will not be available or will be more limited in arbitration, including discovery and appeal rights. If a dispute arises between Company and the User, Company shall faithfully demonstrate the measures taken in respect of the User, including any restrictions of usage, and will comply with result of any arbitration decision.
c) The Company has the sole discretion on whether to, and to what extent to, but no obligation to, enforce any rights of Company or take any actions as stated in these Terms.

13. Inadequacy of damages
Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that Company may have, you acknowledge and agree that compensation by way of damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of these Terms by you, because Company would suffer irreparable losses if you breach these Terms. Accordingly, you agree that Company and, as applicable, its licensors shall be entitled to the remedies of an injunction, specific performance or any other equitable remedy, in addition to any other remedies available to it under the applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, Company and, as applicable, its licensors shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or any other equitable remedy without bond, other security or proof of losses.
You further acknowledge that the rights and obligations established under these Terms in favor of the Company are unique and irreplaceable, and any breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable harm to the Company. In such cases, the Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, without the obligation to post bond or demonstrate damages. At the same time, you agree not to seek or obtain injunctive or other equitable relief to restrict or interfere with the operation of the Service, any Company game, or related advertising, content, or materials, and your claims shall be limited to monetary damages only, subject to the limitations set out in Section 8.
14. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms shall be interpreted and governed by the laws of the State of California, the courts of the State of California shall have exclusive jurisdiction for all purposes regarding this Agreement, and venue of any action brought hereunder shall be exclusively in the County of Contra Costa. Other laws may apply if you use the Game outside of these locations. In such event, the applicable local laws shall only affect these Terms to the extent required by the applicable jurisdiction, and these Terms shall be construed as to make their terms and conditions as effective as possible. You must comply with all local laws to the extent that local law applies.
