Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure
Most disputes go to individual binding arbitration, with court exceptions and a 30-day opt-out
Section 9 requires most disputes about the company's services or products to be resolved through final, binding, individual arbitration administered by JAMS, after an informal first step in which each side tries in good faith to resolve the dispute and the receiving party gets 30 days to respond. You give up a judge or jury and class actions. Certain disputes go to court instead: small-claims cases brought individually, claims seeking only injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief), and intellectual property claims. You can opt out of the arbitration provisions by written notice within 30 days of first registering or agreeing to the Terms; opting out of arbitration alone leaves the class action waiver in place, and you cannot opt out of the class waiver alone.
Supporting quotations

Claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual dispute and not as a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding;
Claims where the sole form of relief sought is injunctive relief (including public injunctive relief); or
intellectual property Claims.
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by the arbitration provisions set forth in these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out
The notice must be sent to the Company within 30 days of your first registering to use the Services or agreeing to these Terms
You may not opt out of only the Class Action waiver and not also the arbitration provisions.
YOU AND THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY ABILITY TO MAINTAIN A CLASS ACTION IN ANY FORUM.

Legal Rights & Agreement Rules · Procedure
Arbitration is run by JAMS under its Comprehensive Rules, before one arbitrator, governed by the Federal Arbitration Act
Arbitration is administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time (deemed incorporated by reference), and is handled by a sole arbitrator under those rules. Because the contract concerns interstate commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act governs the arbitrability of all disputes, but the arbitrator applies applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and the applicable statute of limitations or condition precedent to suit. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.

You and the company give up jury trials and class, consolidated or representative actions
You and the company each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action or class arbitration. Any proceeding must be brought only in each party's individual capacity and not as part of a class, consolidated, multiple-plaintiff or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine or aggregate claims, conduct a class action, award relief to anyone who is not a party, or consolidate more than one person's claims. You can still seek public injunctive relief to the extent authorized by law and consistent with the exceptions in Section 9.4. If the class waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then unless the parties agree otherwise the agreement to arbitrate is void for that proceeding so long as it may proceed as a class action, and a class, private attorney general, consolidated or representative action must go to a court of proper jurisdiction instead of arbitration. This applies to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

IF THE DISPUTE IS SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION, THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO COMBINE OR AGGREGATE CLAIMS, CONDUCT A CLASS ACTION, OR MAKE AN AWARD TO ANY PERSON OR ENTITY NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION.
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, HOWEVER, YOU CAN SEEK PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF TO THE EXTENT AUTHORIZED BY LAW AND CONSISTENT WITH THE EXCEPTIONS CLAUSE ABOVE.
IF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED, OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN, UNLESS THE PARTIES MUTUALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING SO LONG AS THE PROCEEDING IS PERMITTED TO PROCEED AS A CLASS ACTION.
IF A COURT DECIDES THAT THE LIMITATIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH ARE DEEMED INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, ANY PUTATIVE CLASS, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION MUST BE BROUGHT IN A COURT OF PROPER JURISDICTION AND NOT IN ARBITRATION.
