Any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach thereof, or any use of the Site (“Claims”), except for claims filed in a small claims court that proceed on an individual basis, shall be settled by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its then governing rules and procedures.

For claims that are not subject to arbitration: (a) the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for proceedings involving Claims shall be the courts of competent jurisdiction sitting within San Francisco, California (“Forum”) and the parties hereby waive any argument that any such court does not have personal jurisdiction or that the Forum is not appropriate or convenient; (b) you and ruchipuri.com waive any and all rights to trial by jury with respect to any Claims.
