19. Governing Law and Venue; Arbitration.
By visiting or using the Site, you agree that the laws of the State of Maryland (the “Place of Jurisdiction”), without regard to principles of conflict of laws of any state or jurisdiction, will govern this Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and liveBooks or any of our affiliates. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts of Maryland, and you hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of Maryland.
Disputes between User and liveBooks regarding the Site and Services should be reported to help@livebooks.com liveBooks will attempt to resolve any disputes you have with us. Because liveBooks is a neutral venue, liveBooks is not responsible for resolving any disputes between you and other users regarding services or transactions. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your use of the Site or the Services, this Agreement, or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend liveBooks is liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (in any case, a "Dispute"), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration. The arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in force at that time. The arbitration shall be conducted in the Place of Jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding Maryland selection of an arbitrator be in effect, the User shall select an arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators acceptable to liveBooks. In any arbitration, the parties will split the cost of the filing fee, plus the costs associated with the first day of arbitration, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the non-prevailing party, provided, however, that in Maine any cost to the consumer shall be limited to the cost of filing a court case. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand therefore.
Any judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction in the Place of Jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall not have the power to award damages in connection with any Dispute in excess of actual compensatory damages and shall not multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. User and liveBooks 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, regardless of the nature of the dispute or issues involved, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN USER AND LIVEBOOKS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION. USER HEREBY GIVES UP ANY RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND ITS RIGHTS. USER ALSO GIVES UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. USER'S RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY NEUTRAL ARBITRATORS AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY. User is entitled to a fair hearing, but the arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court. Arbitrator decisions are enforceable as any court order and are subject to very limited review by a court by using the Site and/or the Services, User consents to these restrictions.

In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any Dispute or lawsuit, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.

20. Cooperation with Law Enforcement.
