15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING claims against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or clASS member in any PURPORTED class or representative action or proceeding

[Confirm: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN THE MANNER SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 15 AND THAT YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO BRING SUCH CLAIMS BEFORE ANY COURT OF LAW.

Any dispute between you and us and our agents, employees, officers, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries or affiliates arising from or relating to these Terms & Conditions and their interpretation or the breach, termination or validity thereof, the relationships which result from these Terms & Conditions, including disputes about the validity, scope or enforceability of these Terms & Conditions to arbitration (collectively, “Covered Disputes”) will be settled by binding arbitration in the State of Delaware administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its rules (including its rules and procedures for United States

sumer-related disputes) in effect on the date thereof. Prior to initiating any arbitration, the initiating party will give the other party at least 60 days’ advanced written notice of its intent to file for arbitration. We will provide such notice by email to the email address that you provided to us through our Site and you must provide such notice to us by email at ____.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. If, however, you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive for you as compared to the costs of litigation, we will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive for you. If the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous, you agree to reimburse us for all fees associated with the arbitration that we paid on your behalf which you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.

A single arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not, however, have the power to award punitive or exemplary damages, the right to which each party hereby waives. The arbitrator will apply applicable law and the provisions of these Terms & Conditions and the failure to do so will be deemed an excess of arbitral authority and grounds for judicial review. The arbitrator’s decision must be with written explanation and remain confidential. We and you agree that any Covered Dispute will be submitted to arbitration on an individual basis only. If any provision of the agreement to arbitrate in this Section 15 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced (but in no case will there be a class, representative or private attorney general arbitration). Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, notice on any claim arising from or related to these Terms & Conditions must be made within one (1) year after such claim arose or be forever barred. For purposes of this Section 15, these Terms & Conditions and related transactions will be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sec. 1-16 (FAA). ]
