Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver
Summary: Disputes with us must be resolved through individual arbitration, not through courts or class actions.

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

You agree that all disputes between you and us or any of our affiliates arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Services, or any other matters that we refer to arbitration, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may assert claims in small claims court, if they qualify.

You agree that any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. You agree that you may bring claims only in your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis. The arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one person or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

Governing Law
Summary: New York law governs these Terms.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed, controlled, interpreted, and defined by and under the laws of the State of New York and the federal laws of the United States of America, without giving effect to any principles that require the application of the law of a different jurisdiction.

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Summary: IMPORTANT We are agreeing to use arbitration, instead of litigation in court, to resolve any legal disputes that may arise.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, AND ANY OTHER STATUTORY OR REGULATORY PROVISIONS. EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE ANY CONTROVERSY, CLAIM OR DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY.

THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ALSO APPLIES TO THRESHOLD ARBITRABILITY ISSUES, INCLUDING ISSUES RELATED TO WHETHER THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS UNCONSCIONABLE OR ILLUSORY AND ANY DEFENSE TO ARBITRATION. YOU ALSO AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION MAY ONLY BE BROUGHT IN YOUR AND OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES, NOT AS A CLASS, PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING.

The mutual promise by you and us to arbitrate any and all disputes, and to do so on an individual basis, rather than to litigate before the courts or other bodies, provides the mutual consideration for this agreement to arbitrate.

Either party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the substance of such claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.

Unless you and we otherwise agree, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then-current rules for resolution of disputes of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (available online at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879). The parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue the award in writing and therein state the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules.

If this arbitration clause is held unenforceable or arbitration is for any other reason not available, any disputes under these Terms shall be heard in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, New York.

General
Summary: This clause contains common general provisions, such as how the contract will be interpreted and enforced, and whether it can be assigned.

You shall be deemed an independent contractor and nothing contained herein shall constitute this arrangement to be employment, a joint venture, or a partnership. You will not represent yourself to be or hold yourself out as our employee.

You further acknowledge that, other than the Services, no goods or services are, have been, or will be exchanged under these Terms and therefore no consideration other than your ability to access and use the Services is due to you.

No failure to enforce these Terms shall constitute a waiver of any provision contained herein. To the extent any portion of these Terms is determined to be unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such portion will be modified solely to the extent necessary to cause such portion to be enforceable, and these Terms, as modified, will remain in full force and effect.

This is the entire agreement between you and us relating to the subject matter herein and shall supersede all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any kind between us.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms without your consent in the event of a reorganization, consolidation, or merger, or a transfer of all or substantially all of our assets or business operations to a successor entity. These Terms shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon you, us, and our successors and assigns.

The word “including” as used in these Terms shall be read to mean “including but not limited to.”
