Confidentiality
“Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by a party to the other party,

disclosure. The recipient of Confidential Information shall: (i) at all times protect it from
unauthorized disclosure with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own
confidential information, and in no event using less than reasonable care; and (ii) not use it
except to the extent necessary to exercise rights or fulfill obligations under this Agreement.
Each party shall limit the disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information to those of
its employees and contractors with a need to access such Confidential Information for a
party’s exercise of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided that all such
employees and contractors are subject to binding disclosure and use restrictions at least as
protective as those set forth herein. Each party’s obligations set forth in this Section shall
remain in effect during the term and three (3) years after termination of this Agreement. The
receiving party shall, at the disclosing party’s request or upon termination of this Agreement,
return all originals, copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information and
other tangible materials and devices provided to the receiving party as Confidential
Information, or at the disclosing party’s option, certify destruction of the same. A party may
disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to a court or governmental body
pursuant to a valid court order, law, subpoena or regulation, provided that the receiving
party: (a) promptly notifies the disclosing party of such requirement as far in advance as
possible to the extent advanced notice is lawful; and (b) provides reasonable assistance to
the disclosing party in any lawful efforts by the disclosing party to resist or limit the
disclosure of such Confidential Information. The parties agree that the receiving party’s

Arbitration
In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim between the parties hereto arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, the parties shall first seek to resolve the dispute in good faith
through informal discussion. You agree that before initiating any dispute or arbitration
proceeding, the parties will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any dispute and
then proceed with mediation.
Mandatory Binding Arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Rules in effect at the time the arbitration demand is made. The current
rules, effective July 1, 2014, can be found here: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS arbitration rules can be
found here: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-clauses/. In the event of any conflict between the rules and this Agreement, this Agreement shall apply. The parties agree to submit to the
jurisdiction of a single neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS
Comprehensive Rules. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitrator may
grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The arbitrator’s decision shall
be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered
on the arbitrator’s decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation,
applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement. During the arbitration,
both You and Nutrition Commission may take one deposition of the opposing party, limited
to 4 hours. If the parties cannot agree on a time and location for a deposition, the arbitrator
will resolve any scheduling disputes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the arbitrator shall not have jurisdiction over any dispute relating to ownership, infringement or misappropriation of a party’s intellectual property or confidentiality rights unless the parties specifically so agree in writing in such matter, and either party may (after attempting informal resolution as provided above) submit any such dispute to any court in accordance with “Governing Law” section below, and may apply to any such court for injunctive relief in connection therewith. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Los Angeles, California, or any other location you and Nutrition Commission mutually agreed upon in writing. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST
BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR
CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR NON-PAGA

ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR
ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO
THESE TERMS, YOU AND NUTRITION COMMISSION ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Further, if the parties’
dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither JAMS nor the arbitrator may not consolidate
another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside over any form of a
representative or class proceeding for any purpose. If this specific provision is found to be
unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be null and void.
In any lawsuit in which (1) the complaint is filed as a class action or collective action; and (2)
the civil court of competent jurisdiction in which the complaint was filed finds the Class
Action Waiver is unenforceable (and such finding is confirmed by appellate review if review
is sought), the Class Action Waiver shall be severable from this Agreement and in such
instances, the class action, collective action must be litigated in a civil court of competent
jurisdiction and not as a class or collective.
In any lawsuit in which (1) the complaint is filed as a private attorney general action seeking
to represent any individual(s) other than the named plaintiff; and (2) the civil court of
competent jurisdiction in which the complaint was filed finds the PAGA Waiver is
unenforceable (and such finding is confirmed by appellate review if review is sought), the
PAGA Waiver shall be severable from this Agreement and in such instances, the private
attorney general action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not as
a private attorney general arbitration.
Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by
the JAMS Rules. If you assert a claim against Nutrition Commission, you will be responsible
for paying a $250 consumer filing fee. Nutrition Commission will pay for reasonable
arbitration fees where: (a) the claim for damages exceeds $10,000, and (b) the claims are
not frivolous under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). Nutrition Commission will not
seek attorneys’ fees or costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are
frivolous under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b).
