This Agreement and all related documents including all schedules attached and all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Services provided hereunder, whether sounding in contract, tort, or statute, are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

21. Class Action Arbitration Waiver

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to or in connection with this contract, including the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be finally resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 20. The tribunal shall have the power to rule on any challenge to its own jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of the agreement to arbitrate. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and that this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
