THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, AND COURT REVIEW OF AN ARBITRATION AWARD IS LIMITED. THE ARBITRATOR MUST FOLLOW THESE TERMS OF USE AND CAN AWARD THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS A COURT (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES).
Your choice to opt out of arbitrationNotwithstanding the above, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO PURSUE YOUR CLAIM (i) IN COURT AND NOT BY ARBITRATION AND (ii) ON A CLASS AND NOT INDIVIDUAL BASIS, IF YOU OPT OUT WITHIN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU CREATED YOUR ACCOUNT (OR FIRST ACCESSED THE ONLINE SERVICES, IF YOU HAVE NOT CREATED AN ACCOUNT) (the “Opt Out Deadline”).

Arbitration proceduresAny claim or dispute that has not been resolved by the parties following reasonable attempts to resolve same shall be submitted to the office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) located in New York, NY for binding arbitration in accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (or Consumer Arbitration Rules for any individual User that uses the Online Services in their individual capacity) then in effect, as amended by these Terms of Use. The cost of the arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s), will be shared equally by the parties, with each party paying its own attorneys’ fees. The arbitrator(s) will not have the authority to award any damages not available under these Terms of Use. The arbitration award (the “Award”) will be presented to the parties in writing, and upon the request of either party, will include findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any post-Award proceedings will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may, without inconsistency with the foregoing arbitration provision, apply to any State or Federal court located in New York, NY and having jurisdiction hereof and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable relief until the Award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved, and in connection with any such proceeding, each party expressly waives its right to a jury trial.
