Arbitration Agreement
a. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement
You agree that any dispute or claim against us, or our vendors or service providers (collectively, "We" or "Us"), related in any way to your access or use of this Site, to these Terms, or to any aspect of your relationship with Us, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, and (2) you or We may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or misuse of intellectual property rights.
You agree that you must commence any arbitration or claim within one (1) year after the dispute arises, otherwise the claim is permanently barred.
By agreeing to arbitration, you waive the right to participate in any class action or representative lawsuit.
The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.
b. Process
To begin a claim, you must send a detailed letter describing your claim, including your name, contact information, and details of your legal claim, to:

If the claim is not resolved within thirty (30) days, you may commence arbitration through JAMS, using their rules as described at www.jamsadr.com. Arbitration may be conducted remotely, by written submissions, or in person at a mutually agreed location.
c. Fees
If you cannot afford JAMS's filing or administrative fees, and cannot obtain a waiver, we will cover them. If your claim is deemed frivolous, you agree to reimburse our legal fees.
d. Authority of Arbitrator
The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve disputes regarding the interpretation or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement, and may award damages or equitable relief consistent with applicable law.
e. Waiver of Jury Trial
You waive the right to a trial by jury. Arbitration is final and binding.
f. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
All claims must be brought individually, not as part of a class action or collective proceeding.
g. Batch Arbitration
If 50 or more similar claims are filed against Us within 30 days, they may be grouped into a collective arbitration under JAMS's rules.
h. Severability
If any part of this Arbitration Agreement is found unenforceable, the remaining parts remain valid.

This Arbitration Agreement survives termination of your use of the Site.
j. Modification
If we materially change this Arbitration Agreement in the future, it will not apply to disputes that arose prior to the change.
