Welcome to www.witnessmusicca.org, the website of Witness Music California (“WMCA,” “we,” or “us”).

Your use of the Site is subject to the following terms and conditions, as set forth in this General Terms and Conditions of Use Agreement (the “Terms” or the “Agreement”), as well as the Witness Music California Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”).

IMPORTANT ARBITRATION NOTICE: THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER, REQUIRING ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND WMCA, SUBJECT TO LIMITED EXCEPTIONS, TO BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND REQUIRING YOU TO FOREGO JURY TRIALS, CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, AND ALL OTHER TYPES OF COURT PROCEEDINGS OF ANY KIND. UNLESS YOU OPT OUT FOLLOWING THE OPT-OUT PROCEDURES IN SECTION 1 BELOW, YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND EXPRESSLY AGREE TO THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

1. BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT & CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Mandatory Binding Arbitration

You and we agree to attempt to settle all disputes between You and us (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to Your relationship with us, including without limitation, all disputes, claims, or causes of action arising from or related to these Terms, the Site, or our online service, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (collectively, “Disputes”) in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1. In the event of a Dispute, You or WMCA must send to the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute by email at inquire@witnessmusicca.org or by mail at Witness Music California, 11549 Sumac Lane, Santa Rosa Valley, California 93012. We will send any notice of dispute to You at the contact information we have for You. You and WMCA will attempt to resolve the Dispute through informal negotiation within 30 days from the date the notice of dispute is received. Neither party may initiate arbitration proceedings until this informal dispute resolution procedure is completed.

By agreeing to these Terms, You agree that if the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute through the informal dispute resolution procedure above, the Dispute, at the request of either party, shall be resolved by final binding, individual arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA’), and not in any court of law in any jurisdiction, and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding, as further set forth below. You and WMCA agree that the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.

Class Action Waiver

You acknowledge and agree that You and WMCA are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding. Unless both You and WMCA agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the entirety of the arbitration agreement set forth in this Section 1 shall be deemed null and void in its entirety, and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes on a class basis. Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to resolve all Disputes through arbitration, You and WMCA each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyright rights, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

Opt-Out Procedures

You can choose to reject this arbitration agreement by sending us a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”) within 30 days following the date You first agree to these Terms, by email at or by mail at inquire@witnessmusicca.org or by mail at Witness Music California, 11549 Sumac Lane, Santa Rosa Valley, California 93012. If mailed, the Opt-Out Notice must be post-marked no later than 30 days following the date You first agree to these Terms. To be effective, the Opt-Out Notice must contain Your name, address, and signature. If You opt-out of the arbitration agreement, all other parts of the Terms will continue to apply to You. Opting out of this arbitration agreement has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that You may enter with WMCA.

Rules, Procedures & Governing Law

You and WMCA agree that the Dispute will be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator agreed upon by the parties. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitration service will provide a list of three (3) available arbitrators and each party may strike one (1). The remaining arbitrator will resolve the Dispute. Such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and any supplementary rules then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of this arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in these Terms, You and WMCA agree and acknowledge that this arbitration agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement of proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the AAA Rules and FAA shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the AAA Rules and FAA are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this arbitration agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of California, without regard to its choice or conflict of law provisions.

A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to the AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org. You can contact the AAA for more information on how to commence an arbitration proceeding at www.adr.org or (800) 778-7879.

The arbitration shall be held in the County of Los Angeles, California, or any other location as agreed upon between You and WMCA. Your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator shall be binding on the parties hereto and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of either party to this Agreement to seek an injunction or temporary restraining order in the case of a breach of this Agreement that would cause irreparable harm or for which remedies at law would be inadequate. The exercise of such a remedy does not waive the right of either party to resort to arbitration. Any such action must be brought in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles, Central District, or in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees.

You consent to exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue in, and agree to service of process issued or authorized by, any such court, and irrevocably waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient forum objections to such court provided, however, that if You reside outside of the United States in a country requiring that a consumer contract be litigated in that country and/or pursuant to that country’s national law, that country’s courts may have jurisdiction and its law may apply.

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms, or portion thereof, is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and that the other provisions of these Terms, or portions thereof, remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, and subject to this arbitration agreement, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to Your use of the Site or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Nothing in this Agreement creates an agency or partnership between You and us. You may not assign Your rights under this Agreement without our prior written consent, and any attempted assignment will be null and void.
