Any attempt to assign or transfer these Terms without such consent will be null and of no effect. We may assign or transfer these Terms at our sole discretion and without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of you, the Company, and the respective successors and permitted assigns of you and the Company.

For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

You and the Company agree that any dispute, claim or controversy that has arisen, or may arise, between you and the Company out of or relating to these Terms (including previous versions of these Terms) or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, your use of or access to the Service, the actions of the Company or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through the Service (collectively, "Disputes") shall be settled by final and binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief. YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR ONE PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER THIRD PARTIES. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph's limitations as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to your and the Company's right to appeal the court's decision. All other claims will be arbitrated.

Arbitration Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and will be governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this "Dispute Resolution" section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) If the AAA is unavailable for the arbitration, the parties will select an alternative private neutral arbitrator to conduct the arbitration in accordance with the AAA Rules. The use of the word "arbitrator" in this "Dispute Resolution" section shall not be construed to prohibit more than one arbitrator from presiding over an arbitration; rather, the AAA Rules will govern the number of arbitrators that may preside over an arbitration conducted under this "Dispute Resolution" section. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this "Dispute Resolution" section.

Arbitration Process and Selection of Arbitrator. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration by mail as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org/ConsumerForms. Unless you and the Company otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside within a reasonable time, without undue delay. All parties participating in arbitration shall have the right, at their own expense, to be represented by a spokesperson of their own choosing. If your claim does not exceed $10,000, then you or the Company may elect to have the arbitration be conducted by telephone or solely on the basis of documents you and the Company submit to the arbitrator, unless you request a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.

If the AAA is unavailable for the arbitration and the parties must select an alternative private neutral arbitrator to conduct the arbitration, the parties will select such alternative arbitrator as follows: both the Company and you will exchange a list of three preferred private arbitrators. If there is a common name on the two lists, that person will be appointed as the arbitrator. If multiple common names appear on the two lists, the parties will act in good faith and select one of the multiple common names. If there are no common names on the lists, the two arbitrators listed as the first name on each list will confer and appoint a third arbitrator who will conduct the proceeding ("Presiding Arbitrator"). If the parties agree to have more than one arbitrator preside over the arbitration, the Presiding Arbitrator will select the additional arbitrators taking into account any additional common names on submitted lists.

Arbitrator's Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator's decision will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, but subject to review in accordance with the applicable statutes governing arbitration awards. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.

Fees. You and the Company agree that, in accordance with the AAA Rules, the amount of the filing fee associated with the arbitration that is payable by you is capped at $200, and the Company will be responsible for payment of the balance of such filing fee in excess of $200 and other administrative and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, the Company will pay as much of your share of the filing fee as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive.

Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions of the "Modification" section above, if we change this "Dispute Resolution" section after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by contacting us here) within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated Date" above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Dispute between you and the Company in accordance with the provisions of this "Dispute Resolution" section as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).

Severability. With the exception of any of the provisions under the Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief subsection of this "Dispute Resolution" section, if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this "Dispute Resolution" section is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this "Dispute Resolution" section will still apply.

Opt-Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor the Company can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt out:

You must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your Account, and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement.

WAIVER; SEVERABILITY

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of the Company. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
