The arbitrator will make any award in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The award will be binding and final, except for any right of appeal provided by the FAA, and may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties for purposes of enforcement.
You or the VlogBox Entity you have a Dispute with may initiate arbitration in either County of Los Angeles, California or the United States county in which you reside. In the event that you select the county of your United States residence, the VlogBox Entity you have a Dispute with may transfer the arbitration to County of Los Angeles, California in the event that it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location as determined by the arbitrator.
If any clause within this section (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this section, and the remainder of this section will be given full force and effect.
