This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and survives your relationship with Company. We agree that any use relating to or arising from your relationship with us must be arbitrated and not brought in a court of law. If we cannot agree whether a certain claim belongs in arbitration, we mutually agree to allow only an arbitrator to resolve such ambiguity. To start arbitration, a claim must be filed with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and the written Demand for Arbitration (found at www.adr.org) must be provided to the other party. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the AAA Rules in effect at the time available at adr.org or by calling the AAA at 800-778-7879. The arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules. You and we agree that arbitration shall be administered before only 1 arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties. If parties cannot agree, then 30 days later the AAA shall choose said single arbitrator. The arbitrator may award any remedies that would be available in court. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Your arbitration related fees will be dictated by the AAA Rules subject to the following: Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and pay any costs that are not unique to the arbitration (i.e., costs that each party would incur if the Claim(s) were litigated in a court). The law to be applied and the venue shall be of the State of New York.

The exception to banning a class proceeding is the California Private Attorney General Act (PAGA), addressed below. You and we agree not to bring a representative action on behalf of others under PAGA, in any proceeding and for any attorney general claim thereunder you and we agree that any such claim shall be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis only. If any portion of this PAGA Waiver is found unenforceable: the unenforceable provision shall be severed from these Terms; and severance of such provision shall not impact the Arbitration Agreement.
