PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.

Arbitration.  If we are not able to amicably resolve any dispute, claim, action or proceeding between us arising out of or concerning this Site, these Terms and Conditions, any transaction through the Site or any related matters, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise at law or in equity (each, a “Dispute”), then such Dispute shall be resolved only by final and binding arbitration conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and administered by the ADR Chambers (“ADR”) in accordance with the provisions of its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the supplementary procedures for consumer related disputes of the ADR, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions, or a similar arbitration service selected by us, in a location mutually agreed upon by us.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.  The arbitrator’s award shall be final, and judgment may be enforced by any court having jurisdiction.  The Dispute, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration provision shall be determined by the arbitrator. This arbitration provision shall survive the termination of these Terms and Conditions for any reason.

Class Action Waiver.  Any arbitration under these Terms and Conditions will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class/representative/collective actions are not permitted. WE AGREE THAT WE MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN OUR 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, 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.

Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each of us hereby knowingly and voluntarily waives our right to trial by jury with respect to any Dispute arising out of or in connection with this Site, these Terms and Conditions, any transaction through this Site or any related matters, or by our conduct or relationship.
