SECTION 18 – DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER – PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Class Action Waiver
You understand and agree that You may only resolve disputes with Us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You agree that class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not permitted.
YOU AGREE THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND IN SO DOING YOU HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION (EITHER AS A NAMED PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER), AND TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND.
Arbitration Agreement
BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
You and the Company agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms, your purchases from Us, the Website, any and all dealings with Us, any representations made by Us, and/or Your use of our Website, including any dispute that arose or involves facts occurring before You accepted the Terms (collectively, a “Dispute”), by binding arbitration rather than in court.
You and the Company expressly delegate to the arbitrator or arbitrators the authority to determine the arbitrability of any Dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement provisions shall survive after your use of the Website ends. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Procedure
You or We may initiate arbitration in either North Carolina or the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address.
You agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. In the event that the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, the parties agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) under its rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
You further agree that if Your arbitration claim is filed at or around the time of other similar claims by the same or related counsel, your claim may be temporarily stayed or phased to allow the AAA to establish efficient and fair adjudication procedures.
Small Claims Court Alternative
In lieu of arbitration, either You or the Company may bring any individual claim in small claims court, even after a party has initiated arbitration, so long as the claim qualifies with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, and that it is brought and maintained as an individual claim.
Effect of California Law
To the extent not in conflict with or otherwise preempted by the FAA or other applicable federal law, the terms of this Arbitration Agreement shall be construed in accordance with all relevant provisions of the California Civil Code and the California Code of Civil Procedure.

SECTION 19 – GOVERNING LAW, CHOICE OF FORUM, CLASS ACTION WAIVER.
These Terms shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of law provisions, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (to the extent permitted by applicable law). If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration (including claims brought by parties outside the United States), the Parties agree that the dispute shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in New York City, New York (unless the dispute is being brought in small claims court, in which case the dispute can be brought in any small claims court that sits within the federal judicial district that includes Your billing address, so long as the claim qualifies with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply).
You understand and agree that You may only resolve Disputes with Us on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You agree that class actions, private attorney general actions, and requests for public injunctive relief are not permitted unless required by law, unless You opt out of this provision by following the procedure outlined below.
