1. Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between You and USA Publishing, LLC (“USA Publishing,” “Company,” “we,” or “us“). The following terms and conditions (these “Terms of Use”) govern your (“you” or “User”) access to and use of www.lapost.com, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through www.lapost.com (the “Website“), whether as a guest, registered user, or subscriber.
 
 These Terms of Use, together with our Privacy Policy and, if applicable, our Terms of Sale, are collectively referred to as the “Agreement.” If you purchase or subscribe to any paid product or service, the Terms of Sale and Privacy Policy are incorporated herein by reference and form part of this Agreement. 

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING DISPUTE RESOLUTION:
THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 4 THAT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. UNLESS YOU TIMELY OPT OUT, YOU AGREE THAT CERTAIN DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND NOT IN COURT, AND THAT YOU WAIVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS ARBITRATION.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the Website. By accessing, browsing, using, registering for, or subscribing to the Website, or by clicking to accept or agree to these Terms when that option is made available to you, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement. If you do not agree to these Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, you must not access or use the Website.

 If you access or use the Website from outside the United States, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not intend to subject the Company to the laws or jurisdiction of any territory outside the United States except to the extent required by applicable mandatory consumer protection laws.

If you do not meet all applicable eligibility requirements or do not agree to this Agreement, you must not access or use the Website. 

2. Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise and update these Terms of Use from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide notice by reasonable means, which may include posting the updated Terms on the Website, updating the "Last Modified" date, or, where required by applicable law, providing notice by email or other electronic communication.
 
 Unless otherwise required by applicable law, changes will become effective on the date specified in the updated Terms. Material changes will apply prospectively and will not apply retroactively to disputes arising prior to the effective date of the revised Terms.
 
 Your continued use of the Website after the effective date of revised Terms constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must discontinue use of the Website. 

3. Accessing the Website and Account Security

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, discontinue, or restrict access to the Website, or any content, feature, or service offered through the Website, at any time and in our discretion and without liability. We will not be liable if all or any part of the Website is unavailable at any time or for any period. From time to time, we may restrict access to some parts of the Website, or the entire Website, including to registered users or subscribers. 

You are responsible for:

• Making all arrangements necessary for you to access the Website; and
• Ensuring that all persons who access the Website through your internet connection comply with these Terms of Use.

To access certain features of the Website, you may be required to provide registration information or other details. You agree that all information you provide is accurate, current, and complete, and that you will update such information as necessary. All information you provide is governed by our Privacy Policy, and you consent to our use of your information in accordance with that policy. 

If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Each account is for a single individual user only and may not be shared with others unless expressly authorized by the Company. You agree not to provide any other person with access to the Website using your credentials. You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, whether or not authorized by you, except where such activity results from our failure to maintain reasonable security measures.
 
 You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to or use of your account or any other breach of security. You should use particular caution when accessing your account from a public or shared device. 

We may suspend, terminate, or disable your account or access credentials at any time in our discretion, including for suspected fraud, abuse, security concerns, violation of these Terms of Use, or if we believe such action is necessary to protect the Website, the Company, or other users. 

4. Mandatory Arbitration And Class Action Waiver

If you have a complaint, dispute, or controversy, you agree to first contact us by email at [email protected] or by mail at USA Publishing, LLC, Attention: Legal, 330 N Lantana St Ste 28 #5055, Camarillo, CA 93010 to attempt to resolve the dispute or controversy informally. Your notice must describe the nature of the dispute and the relief sought. The parties agree to attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least sixty (60) days before initiating arbitration.
 You and USA Publishing agree that any disputes between us that cannot be resolved through such informal process shall be resolved through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings, except that either party may bring qualifying claims in small claims court and may seek provisional or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction where appropriate. You and USA Publishing hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any Claim (defined below). All controversies, claims, counterclaims, or other disputes arising between you and USA Publishing relating to these Terms of Use, the Terms of Sale, the Privacy Policy, the Agreement, any purchase you make from USA Publishing, any communications between you and USA Publishing (either directly or through a third party), and/or any aspect of our relationship with you (each a “Claim”), shall be submitted for binding arbitration in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA Rules”) then in effect. The AAA’s Rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration shall be heard and determined by a single arbitrator. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, construction, validity, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms of Use, the Terms of Sale, the Privacy Policy, the Agreement, or this arbitration provision, including any claim that all or any part of this Section is void or voidable, and to determine whether any dispute is arbitrable.
 
 Unless otherwise required by the AAA Rules, the arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles County, California, and may be conducted telephonically or by video conference where appropriate. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding upon the parties and may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator may award relief available in a court of law on an individual basis only. 

Payment of filing, administration, and arbitrator fees shall be governed by the AAA Rules. In all other respects, the parties shall each bear their own attorneys' fees, costs, and expenses unless otherwise required by applicable law or awarded by the arbitrator.
 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any Claim must be filed within one (1) year after such Claim arose, or it shall be permanently barred. 

Neither you nor USA Publishing may act as a class representative or private attorney general, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim. Claims may not be arbitrated or litigated on a class, consolidated, representative, mass, or private attorney general basis. The arbitrator may decide only your or USA Publishing’s individual Claims and may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated. 

If any provision of this Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that specific provision shall be severed, and the remainder of this Section shall continue in full force and effect. 

If any Claim is determined not to be subject to arbitration, such Claim shall be exclusively brought in and decided by the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California. 

This Section shall survive the termination of your relationship with USA Publishing, the closure or deactivation of your account, and any legal proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
30 DAY RIGHT TO OPT-OUT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BY SENDING WRITTEN NOTICE OF YOUR DECISION TO OPT-OUT TO [email protected] WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF FIRST ACCEPTING THESE TERMS OF USE. YOUR NOTICE MUST INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU OPT-OUT, NEITHER YOU NOR USA PUBLISHING WILL BE BOUND BY THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION. 

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, IN ARBITRATION, THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY, DISCOVERY MAY BE MORE LIMITED THAN IN COURT, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, MASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS OR PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. HOWEVER, AN ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF OR STATUTORY DAMAGES) AND MUST FOLLOW THESE TERMS AS A COURT WOULD.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company, its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website, including, but not limited to, your User Contributions, any use of the Website’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, or your use of any information obtained from the Website. 

22. Waiver and Severability

No waiver by the Company of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition. Any failure of the Company to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. To be effective, any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the Company. 

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be severed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect. The parties intend that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, if any provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it shall be reformed or construed in a manner that most closely reflects the original intent while remaining valid and enforceable. Without limiting the foregoing, if any portion of the arbitration provision (including any class action waiver) is found to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to any particular claim or remedy, that portion shall be severed as to such claim or remedy only, and all remaining portions of the arbitration provision (including the delegation clause) shall remain in full force and effect.
