Dispute Resolution: Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes, Waiver of Class Arbitration.
Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes: Except as noted below, any and all disputes, controversies, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and us (including, but not limited to, disputes related in any way to the interpretation and scope of this Section 24, these Terms and Conditions generally, our Privacy Policy, and your use of the Web Site and Web Site Services) shall be settled exclusively through binding and confidential arbitration (“Arbitration”). THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, PROCEDURES FOR ARBITRATION ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN LITIGATION RULES IN COURT, AND REVIEW BY A COURT IS LIMITED.

AAA Rules and Procedures. Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before one commercial arbitrator. The conduct of the Arbitration shall be subject to AAA’s then-current rules and procedures for commercial arbitration and, if the arbitrator deems it appropriate, the then-current supplementary rules and procedures for consumer-related disputes (collectively, “Arbitration Rules and Procedures”). YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT YOU ARE BOUND TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES IN ARBITRATION, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. Payment of Arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case we will pay as much of your Arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. We also reserve the right, in our sole and exclusive discretion, to assume responsibility for all Arbitration costs imposed by the AAA. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision or remedy under the governing law that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses.

Information on AAA , its Rules and Procedures, and how to start arbitration can be found at http://www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879.

Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the dispute arises from a violation of your or our intellectual property rights in any manner, both parties agree that the non-infringing party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court consistent with the Governing Law and Jurisdiction subsections below, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Additionally, you or we may take the dispute to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for small claims court.

Waiver of Class Arbitration: To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all disputes shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree that no other disputes shall be consolidated or joined with your dispute, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You further acknowledge and agree that any arbitrator assigned to a dispute shall not, and lacks the authority to, conduct class arbitration or award class-wide relief and that such arbitrator shall only hear your individual dispute. You acknowledge that you are voluntarily and knowingly waiving any right to participate as a representative of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to Arbitration, such that you shall not be entitled to arbitrate any dispute as a representative plaintiff or claimant, class representative, class member, or private attorney general.

Governing Law: These Terms and Conditions and all disputes between the parties shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within New York between New York residents, without regard to any conflict-of-law provisions which result in the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. Further, in any Arbitration, both parties agree the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized under New York law.

Enforcement of Arbitration Award: The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Severability: If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section (with the exception of the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection) is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion shall be severed and removed from these Terms and Conditions, and the remaining portions (including the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection) shall remain binding on you and us. If any arbitrator deems the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection shall be null and void. Under such circumstances, you expressly acknowledge and agree that the Governing Law and Jurisdiction subsections apply to any disputes between you and us, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.

Jurisdiction: If, in any dispute, this Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, notwithstanding the Severability subsection above, or null and void by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, or if the dispute seeks injunctive remedies arising from a violation of your or our intellectual property rights, the dispute shall be resolved by a state or federal court located in New York County, New York, USA. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such New York state or federal courts for the purposes of litigating any such dispute.
