Except as specifically stated herein, any dispute or claim between you and Company arising out of, relating in any way to, or in connection with this Agreement, the Site, the Services or any other products, goods, services, or other materials offered or distributed through the Site (“Dispute(s)”) shall be resolved exclusively by final, binding arbitration; except that you may bring a qualifying claim over a Dispute in a small claims court. By virtue of this Dispute Agreement (defined below), you and Company are each giving up the right to go to court and have a Dispute heard by a judge or jury (except as otherwise set forth in this subsection (A) or subsection (D). The provisions of this section shall constitute your and Company’s written agreement to arbitrate Disputes under the Federal Arbitration Act (“Dispute Agreement”). Any modification to this Dispute Agreement shall be in writing and signed by you and Company. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to its rules, including, without limitation, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, available at adr.org or by calling (800) 778.7879. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by these Terms of Use, apply applicable law and the facts, and issue a reasoned award.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must comply with the limitations provision set forth in subsection (E) and send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our Corporate Address. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. Company will reimburse those fees for Disputes totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous. Likewise, Company will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the Dispute is frivolous. The arbitration will be conducted based upon written submissions unless you request and/or the arbitrator determines that a telephone or in-person hearing is necessary.
- No Class Action Matters. We each agree that we shall bring any Dispute against the other in our respective individual capacities and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, representative proceeding, or as an association. In addition, we each agree that Disputes shall be arbitrated only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these provisions.
- Choice of Law and Forum; No Jury Trial.

- Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Dispute Agreement, either party may bring suit in court seeking an injunction or other equitable relief arising out of or relating to the infringement of a party’s intellectual property or any conduct that violates Section 6 (Prohibited Actions) of this Agreement.
- Time Limitations. If either of us wants to assert a Dispute against the other, the party with a Dispute must institute arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose. Absent commencing the arbitration within one (1) year from the date the Dispute arose, the Dispute(s) will be forever barred.
- Severability. With the exception of subsection (B) above, if any part of this section is ruled to be unenforceable, then the balance of this section shall remain in full effect and construed and enforced as if the portion ruled unenforceable were not contained herein. If subsection (B) above is ruled to be unenforceable, then subsection (A) shall be deemed unenforceable, but the rest of this section shall remain in full effect.
- Jury Trial and Class Action Waiver. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive the right to a trial by jury with respect to any dispute arising out of or relating to THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE, or your ACCESS and use of the Site. You further agree that any and all disputes or controversies between you and COMPANY shall be resolved on an individual basis without resort to any form of class action and shall not be consolidated with the claims of any other parties.
