BurnLounge, Inc., 753 F.3d 878, 883 (9th Cir. 2014). Our clear-error review of the district court's findings of fact is "deferential"; "we will accept the district court's findings of fact unless we are left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed." Id. (alteration and internal quotation marks omitted).
