Dispute Resolution
Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to access to or use of the Website will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, rather than in court. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of access to or use of the Website, and to arbitrate any part of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of the this section or these Terms is void or voidable.
The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) exclusively in Douglas County, Colorado, under the AAA’s rules and procedures, as modified by this section. The AAA’s rules and a form for initiating arbitration proceedings are available at www.adr.org.
You and we will select the arbitrator, and if you and we are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the AAA will select the arbitrator. Arbitration will not commence until the party requesting arbitration has deposited such fees and costs as required by the AAA for arbitration of the type of claim brought by the person requesting arbitration. The party requesting arbitration will advance such sums as are required from time to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs.
Agreement to these Terms constitutes an agreement to pursue your claim on an individual basis and a waiver of the ability to pursue your claim in a class or representative action. If a dispute is arbitrated, you give up your right to participate as a class representative or class member on any class claim you may have against the Company, including any right to class arbitration or any consolidation of individual arbitrations.
The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other Users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same User to the extent required by applicable law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive upon you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may only be entered in the state or federal courts of record for Douglas County, Colorado.
