Company and Host are not liable to Guest for any cancellation, postponement, delay, or failure to record or distribute the Show caused by circumstances beyond their reasonable control, including government action or regulation, studio closures, labor strikes, equipment failure, internet or power outages, pandemic or epidemic, natural disaster, fire, flood, or acts of God. Such events do not entitle Guest to any compensation, travel reimbursement, damages, or alternative performance obligation from Company or Host.
SECTION 11B — DATA PRIVACY & CCPA COMPLIANCE
By executing this Agreement, Guest acknowledges that Company collects personal information including name, email address, IP address, likeness, voice, and biographical data for the purposes of producing and distributing the Show, fulfilling obligations under this Agreement, and promoting The McCord List. Company's collection and use of personal data is governed by Company's Privacy Policy at themccordlist.com. To the extent applicable, Company complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). California resident Guests may exercise their privacy rights by contacting [email protected].

12.1 Governing Law
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict of law principles, except that California mandatory statutes that cannot be contractually waived — including California Labor Code §3344 (Right of Publicity) — shall apply to the extent required by applicable law. Production services are performed in Los Angeles County, California.
12.2 Informal Resolution
Prior to initiating any arbitration, the party asserting a claim must provide written notice to the other party describing the claim in reasonable detail and the relief sought.

This informal resolution requirement is a condition precedent to arbitration.

Delaware substantive law applies. The arbitrator's decision is final and binding. Judgment may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
12.4 Emergency Relief
Company and Host may seek emergency injunctive or equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect intellectual property rights, confidential information, or content rights without waiving the right to arbitrate the underlying dispute, and without the requirement to post bond.
12.5 Class Action & Jury Trial Waiver
Guest waives any right to participate in a class action, collective action, or representative proceeding against Company or Host. All disputes must be brought in Guest's individual capacity only. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Guest and Company each waive any right to a trial by jury.
12.6 Prevailing Party
The prevailing party in any arbitration or court proceeding shall recover reasonable attorney's fees, arbitration costs, and all related expenses from the non-prevailing party.
