Disputes
With respect to any dispute regarding the Site or this Privacy Policy, all rights and obligations and all actions concerning this Privacy Policy, shall be governed by the laws of California, as if this Privacy Policy was a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within California.

Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). YOU AND ZINC COLLECTIVE, LLC AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING (“CLASS ACTION”). Further, unless both you and Zinc Collective, LLC agree otherwise in a signed writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY, YOU AND ZINC COLLECTIVE, LLC ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND THAT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO AND GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT.

If these Class Action restrictions are ever deemed illegal or unenforceable, they shall be severed from this arbitration provision. In that event, any Class Action shall by exempted from this arbitration provision and brought in court of competent jurisdiction, in connection therewith and each of the parties consent to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of the State of California, in Los Angeles. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
