Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us, the parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration.

Any Dispute that the parties are unable to resolve through informal negotiations will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its rules then in effect, except as modified by this section. The arbitration will be conducted in Denton County, Texas, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

Restrictions

The parties agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law: (a) no arbitration will be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to use class-action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
