21. Arbitration

In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim between the parties hereto arising out of or relating to these Terms, the parties shall first seek to resolve the dispute in good faith through informal discussion. You agree that before initiating any dispute or arbitration proceeding, the parties will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of any dispute and then proceed with mediation.

If a resolution is not achieved through informal resolution or mediation, it will be settled by individual (not class or class-wide) binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with the then current Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules, including any expedited procedures. A demand that a claim be submitted to arbitration may be made before the initiation of any legal proceeding or within ninety (90) days following the service of a complaint, third party complaint, cross-claim or counterclaim and if a party in a pending legal proceeding demands a claim to be submitted to arbitration, the party initiating the action will immediately dismiss the legal proceeding and file the claim in arbitration.

CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER. TO THE EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES’ INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION (COLLECTIVELY “CLASS ACTION WAIVER”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS OR ENGAGE IN ANY CLASS ARBITRATION. USER AGREES THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, USER AND ITT ARE EACH VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, neither AAA nor the arbitrator may consolidate another person’s claims with your claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding for any purpose. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section shall be null and void.

In any lawsuit in which (1) the complaint is filed as a class action or collective action; and (2) the civil court of competent jurisdiction in which the complaint was filed finds the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable (and such finding is confirmed by appellate review if review is sought), the Class Action Waiver shall be severable from these Terms and in such instances, the class action, collective action must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not as a class or collective.
