Except for disputes relating to the infringement of your or Crystal Geyser’s intellectual property
(such as trademarks, trade dress, copyright and patents) or where you or Crystal Geyser are
seeking a preliminary injunction (“Excluded Disputes”), you agree that all disputes between
you and Crystal Geyser (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to these

under the American Arbitration Association’s rules for arbitration of consumer-related disputes
and you hereby expressly waive trial by jury. Neither you nor Crystal Geyser will participate in a
class action or class-wide arbitration for any claims covered by this agreement.
This dispute resolution provision will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and, where
consistent, California law. The arbitration will be conducted in San Francisco County, California,
in the English language by three arbitrators appointed in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association’s Rules. In the event the American Arbitration Association is unwilling
or unable to set a hearing date within one hundred and sixty (160) days of filing the case, then
either Crystal Geyser or you can elect to have the arbitration administered instead by the Judicial
Arbitration and Mediation Services. At your election, desktop or telephone arbitration, if
available, can be used for claims of less than $10,000. Crystal Geyser will pay the costs for
arbitration (not including your attorney’s fees) for claims under $5,000 where you are successful.
In all other cases, you will bear 50% of the cost of any arbitration and you alone will be
responsible for your attorney’s fees. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be
entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any provision of applicable law
notwithstanding, the arbitrators will not have authority to award punitive or exemplary damages.
THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS (AS DISTINGUISHED FROM THE CHOICE OF LAW RULES)
OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY AND INTERPRETATION OF THESE TERMS AND ALL CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER
SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THESE TERMS OR THE TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS. THE UNITED NATIONS
CONVENTIONS ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS, IF
OTHERWISE APPLICABLE, SHALL NOT APPLY.
You agree that any action at law or in equity relating to the arbitration provision of these Terms
or the Excluded Disputes will be filed only in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco
County, California and you hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts
for the purposes of litigating any such action.
If any provision of these Terms if held to be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable by a
court of competent jurisdiction or during an arbitration per the arbitration terms above, then that
provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and
enforceability of any remaining provisions. Crystal Geyser reserves the right to change this
dispute resolution provision, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the
effective date of the amendment. This dispute resolution provision will survive the termination of
any or all of your transactions with Crystal Geyser.
