9. ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH RCAGrading AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM RCAGrading.

You and RCAGrading agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from these Terms of Service or your use of the RCAGrading Services, except that you and RCAGrading are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and RCAGrading agree that you will notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to RCAGrading shall be sent to RCAGrading. You and RCAGrading further agree: to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; that any arbitration will occur in Texas; that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; and that the state or federal courts in Texas have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of the State of Texas and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and RCAGrading will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.

10. THIRD PARTY CONTENT
In addition to the User Content, RCAGrading may provide other third party content on the RCAGrading Services (collectively the "Third-Party Content").

THE EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES UNDER SECTION 8 IS INDEPENDENT OF YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SURVIVES IN THE EVENT SUCH REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR IS OTHERWISE DEEMED UNENFORCEABLE.
