  1. Litigation. If a dispute between you and MoPOP cannot be resolved informally or through arbitration, litigation may be commenced either in the district court of King County, Washington, for state court cases, or in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington for federal court cases. Each Party agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts with respect to any dispute(s) and agrees not to bring any dispute(s) in any other court or adjudicative body.
