Arbitration
Any dispute relating to these Terms, which is not resolved after the parties’ attempt at amicable negotiations, shall be finally settled by arbitration. If such a dispute arises, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings by filing a demand for arbitration with the other party at the New York office of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before an arbitrator selected in accordance with the Commercial Rules of Arbitration of the AAA. All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules of Arbitration of the AAA, except that, for a period of 60 days following the date the demand for arbitration was filed, the parties shall be entitled to the rights of discovery authorized under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure; provided, that such rights are exercised in a reasonable manner. All arbitration proceedings shall be held in New York. In the event that any legal or equitable action, proceeding or arbitration arises out of or concerns these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees. The arbitrator’s award resulting from such arbitration may be confirmed and entered as a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction and enforced accordingly.

The enforcement of any arbitration award or any legal action or proceeding relating in any way to any other matter concerning any arbitration proceeding may be brought and enforced in the United States District Court for the District of New York; provided, that, if for whatever reason the United States District Court for the District of New York will not or cannot hear such action or proceeding, it may be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York.

The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection which they may now or thereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with the enforcement of any arbitrator’s award or any other matter relating to any arbitration proceeding brought in the aforementioned courts, and hereby further irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient or improper forum.

Class Action Waiver
Any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN EACH’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, COLLECTIVE AND/ OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, SUCH AS IN THE FORM OF A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION AGAINST THE OTHER. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

The headings herein are provided for convenience only, and are not of any force or effect in construing any provision of these terms.
