YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT.
(b) Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA's fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case Beautivision will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs.

(e) To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all Disputes shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis.
(f) YOU AND BEAUTIVISION AGREE THAT THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES. NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION. YOU AND Beautivision FURTHER AGREE THAT THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO PREVENT A PARTY FROM SEEKING PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WHERE APPLICABLE LAW PROVIDES FOR SUCH A RIGHT.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from (i) a violation of your or Beautivision's intellectual property rights in any manner; (ii) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief; then both parties agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court consistent with the "Governing Law" section below, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
