The pursuit of relief permitted under this Section 9.9(c) shall not constitute a waiver of, or otherwise limit, either Party’s right to compel arbitration of any Dispute under Section 9.9(b).
(d) Fees and Costs. Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses in connection with any arbitration, and the Parties shall share equally the AAA administrative fees and the arbitrator’s fees and expenses, except as otherwise provided in the AAA Rules; provided, that the arbitrator shall have the discretion to award reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses to the prevailing Party.
(e) Confidentiality of Arbitration. The Parties shall treat the existence, content, and results of any arbitration under this Section 9.9—including all pleadings, submissions, evidence, testimony, and any award—as Confidential Information subject to Section 3.1, except as necessary to prepare for and conduct the arbitration, to enforce, confirm, modify, or vacate an award, to comply with applicable law, legal process, or the order of a court or governmental authority, or to disclose to a Party’s attorneys, accountants, insurers, and other professional advisors bound by obligations of confidentiality.
(f) Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE SHALL BE BROUGHT AND RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO AUTHORITY TO CONSOLIDATE THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE PARTY OR TO PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING. If the foregoing waiver is held unenforceable with respect to a particular Dispute or a particular claim for relief, then that Dispute or claim, and only that Dispute or claim, shall be severed from the arbitration and brought in the courts identified in Section 9.9(g), and all remaining Disputes and claims shall be arbitrated in accordance with this Section 9.9.
(g) Court Proceedings; Jury Trial Waiver. Any legal action, suit, or proceeding permitted under Section 9.9(c) or (f), any action to compel arbitration or in aid of arbitration, and any proceeding to enforce, confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitral award, shall be brought exclusively in the federal courts located in the State of California, or, if such courts lack subject matter jurisdiction, the state courts located in the State of California. Each Party irrevocably consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waives any objection based on inconvenient forum or lack of jurisdiction. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(h) Survival. This Section 9.9 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

All such audits and reports shall be deemed Company Confidential Information.
8. General Terms. Each Party’s liability under or in connection with this DPA is subject to the limitations on liability contained in the Agreement, to the extent permitted by Law. Company shall not have any liability to Customer to the extent the basis of liability arises from failure by Customer to obtain any necessary consents to collect, use, transfer, or otherwise Process Customer Personal Information, or failure by Customer to fully comply with the Agreement, this DPA, or Data Protection Laws. This DPA supersedes any prior data processing agreements, addenda, or similar terms between the Parties. Should any provision of this DPA be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this DPA shall remain valid and in force. The invalid or unenforceable provision shall be either: (a) amended as necessary to ensure its validity and enforceability, while preserving the intent of the provision as closely as possible; or (b) if (a) is not possible, construed in a manner as if the invalid or unenforceable part had never been contained therein. If any variation is required to this DPA as a result of a change in Data Protection Laws, the Parties agree to discuss and negotiate in good faith any necessary variations to this DPA as required. The obligations contained in this DPA shall not restrict Company in its rights and/or obligations to: (i) comply with federal, state, or local Laws, or to comply with a court order or subpoena to provide information or legal holds; or (ii) to comply with a civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiry, investigation, subpoena, or summons by federal, state, or local authorities.
