11. Dispute Resolution

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms and Conditions (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

Binding Arbitration

If a Party is unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration, on an individual basis, not on a class, consolidated or representative basis, administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”). The AAA Rules are available online at adr.org. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and legally binding and judgment may be entered thereon.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

We may revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time. The most current version will always be posted on the Site. If a revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you via email to the email address associated with your account or through a notice on the Site.
