​

13. Dispute Resolution: Binding Arbitration & Class Action Waiver PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. WE EACH AGREE TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH BINDING ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT INSTEAD OF IN COURTS OF GENERAL JURISDICTION TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. ARBITRATION IS MORE INFORMAL THAN A LAWSUIT IN COURT. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

(a) Company and you agree to arbitrate any and all disputes and claims between us arising out of or relating to this Agreement, use of the sites, or products/services you purchase, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. However, any dispute you or we may have relating to copyrights or other intellectual property shall not be governed by this agreement to arbitrate and may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction. You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and Company are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class or representative action.

(b) A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice''). The Notice to Company should be addressed to the Company's physical address listed in Section 10.

(c) The arbitration will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as modified by this Agreement, and will be administered by the AAA.

(d) YOU AND COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. The arbitrator may not consolidate or aggregate more than one person’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

(e) Mass/Batch Arbitration: In the event 150 or more similar arbitration demands against Company are filed within a 180-day period, the arbitration provider shall group the arbitration demands into batches of no more than 150 demands per group and provide for resolution of each group as a single arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees and a single arbitrator.
