If you have already used those Coins, we may deduct the same number of other Bonus Coins or Base Coins from your account or charge your credit card or other payment instrument for any products you purchased using those Coins. We reserve the right to terminate your access the Coins in your account if we determine, after investigation, that you have used the Coins in connection with any fraudulent or illegal activity.

Subject to the below provisions of Section 25, (a) you and Pocket FM agree that any controversy, claim or dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or any aspect of the relationship between you and Pocket FM (each, a "Dispute") asserted by you against Pocket FM or by Pocket FM against you shall be exclusively brought in a state or federal court in the Central District of California, and (b) you and Pocket FM each submit and consent to the personal jurisdiction of, and venue in, the state and federal courts located in the Central District of California.
  25. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.
    1. Introduction. Any Dispute, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, shall be settled through Negotiation (as defined below in this Section 25) or Arbitration (as defined below in this Section 25); provided, however, with respect to Excluded Disputes (as defined below in this Section 25) that you and Pocket FM are unable to settle through Negotiation, you or Pocket FM may apply to the applicable court in the Central District of California to bring any such Excluded Disputes in lieu of Arbitration.

      If a Dispute arises, you and Pocket FM first shall attempt in good faith to resolve it promptly by Negotiation as set forth below in this Section 25, and neither you nor Pocket FM may commence Arbitration with respect to any Dispute unless you and Pocket FM first have unsuccessfully pursued Negotiation as provided in this Section 25 (i.e., the parties are unable to resolve the Dispute in writing within the below thirty (30) day period or if either party refuses to comply with the provisions of any written Negotiation settlement). All communications, whether oral, written or electronic, in any Negotiation or Arbitration (including, without limitation, any written Negotiation settlement or Arbitration award) pursuant to this Section 25 shall be treated as confidential, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the Arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application in accordance with the above provisions of Section 24, or except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law. Notwithstanding the above provisions set forth in Section 24, (a) the Federal Arbitration Act applies to and governs the enforceability of this Section 25, and (b) all communications, whether oral, written or electronic, in Negotiations shall also be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence.

    2. Negotiation. At any time after a Dispute arises, either you or Pocket FM may initiate negotiation by providing written notice (the "Dispute Notice") to the other party as follows ("Negotiation"): (a) you shall email Dispute Notices to Pocket FM to grievances@pocketfm.com and (b) Pocket FM shall email Dispute Notices to you to the email address that Pocket FM has on file for you. The Dispute Notice shall describe the nature and basis of the Dispute and sets forth the relief sought. You and a Pocket FM representative shall speak by phone and/or communicate via email at a mutually acceptable time and thereafter as often as reasonably necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. No party shall be obligated to continue to participate in Negotiation if the parties have not resolved the Dispute in writing within thirty (30) days after the non-complaining party's receipt of the Dispute Notice.
    3. Arbitration. If you and Pocket FM are unable to resolve any Dispute through Negotiation or if either you or Pocket FM refuses to comply with the provisions of any written Negotiation settlement, then, except for any Excluded Disputes (as hereinafter defined), SUCH DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR ("Arbitration") INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AND POCKET FM AGREE THAT YOU AND POCKET FM ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. As used in these Terms of Use, "Excluded Dispute" collectively means: (a) any Dispute relating to the infringement, misappropriation and/or other misuse of Intellectual Property Rights other than patent rights (including, without limitation, claims seeking injunctive relief); (b) any Dispute relating to the violation, misappropriation and/or other misuse of confidential information (including, without limitation, claims seeking injunctive relief); (c) any Dispute relating to the enforcement of an Arbitration award; and/or (d) any Dispute that qualifies for small claims court.

      An Arbitration is a proceeding before a neutral arbitrator, instead of before a judge or jury. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court, and provides more limited discovery. It follows different rules than court proceedings, and is subject to very limited review by courts. The arbitrator will issue a written decision and provide a statement of reasons if requested by either party.

      The Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms of Use. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf. Additionally, the arbitrator shall follow applicable state and federal law.

      The Arbitration costs, including arbitrator compensation, will be split between you and Pocket FM according to the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA's Supplementary Procedures.

      YOU AND POCKET FM AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU AND POCKET FM ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

      The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or Pocket FM that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination shall be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will follow the terms of these Terms of Use and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms of Use, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms of Use will preclude you or Pocket FM from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you or against you for us, as applicable.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Pocket FM a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Such notices and counter-notices should be sent to:
