You or Swift Cloud may also seek relief in small claims court for Claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction. In the event that the arbitration provisions above are found not to apply to you or to a particular Claim, either as a result of your decision to opt-out of the arbitration provisions or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that the venue for any such Claim or dispute is exclusively that of a state or federal court located in San Francisco County, California. You and Swift Cloud agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within San Francisco County, California for the purpose of litigating all such Claims or any other disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement or your use of the Services in the event that the arbitration provisions are found not to apply. In such a case, should Swift Cloud prevail in litigation against you to enforce its rights under this Agreement, Swift Cloud shall be entitled to its costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees (whether incurred at or in preparation for trial, appeal or otherwise) incurred in resolving or settling the dispute, in addition to all other damages or awards to which Swift Cloud may be entitled.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR SWIFT CLOUD WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR SWIFT CLOUD MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH HEREIN) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. "Commencing" means, as applicable: (i) by delivery of written notice as set forth herein; (ii) filing for arbitration with JAMS as set forth herein; or (iii) filing an action in state or federal court. This provision will not apply to any legal action taken by Swift Cloud to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with any losses (or potential losses) relating to the Services, intellectual property rights of Swift Cloud, and/or Swift Cloud's provision of the Services.
