1. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with the Products or the Terms and Conditions, shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate applies to, but is not limited to, all disputes arising out of or in connection with the Products, the construction or application of the Terms and Conditions, all claims arising under federal, state, or local statutory or common law, including: claims of breach of covenants, breach of contract or breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, tort claims, and any other claims of illegality or breach of any right which a party might hold with respect to the other whether arising out of or in connection with the Products, these Terms and Condition, or otherwise. The arbitration shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the Delaware. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. The arbitration shall take place in Chicago, Illinois before a single neutral JAMS arbitrator. After the appointment of the arbitrator, the parties shall have the right to take depositions and to obtain discovery by other means regarding the subject matter of the arbitration as if the matter were pending in the United States District Court located in Chicago, Illinois, although the arbitrator may, for good cause shown, limit the nature and extent of such discovery and establish or modify the schedule relating to any discovery requests or applications relating thereto. The arbitrator must follow applicable law. The award of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the arbitrator’s award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision. All fees and expenses of the arbitrators and all other expenses of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties equally (i.e., 50% for each party). The parties are responsible for their own attorney’s fees in connection with the arbitration. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND THAT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, DO NOT PERMIT CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRAL TRIBUNAL MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. The arbitral tribunal shall have the power to determine the validity or enforceability of the agreement to arbitrate solely on an individual basis. In the event the prohibition on class arbitration is deemed invalid or unenforceable by a court, then the remaining portions of the arbitration agreement will remain in force. The right to rule on any challenge to the arbitral tribunal’s jurisdiction or to the validity or enforceability of any portion of the agreement to arbitrate is reserved to the courts.
2. Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything in Section 8(a) to the contrary, you may elect to pursue your claim in small claims court of any State in the United States of America, rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intention to do so; provided that the small claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy. However, if such claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, we may then choose to arbitrate, and you must submit the dispute or controversy to arbitration in accordance with Section 8(a).
3. Venue. Subject to Section 8(a) and Section 8(b), any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Products shall be instituted exclusively in the federal courts of the United States or the courts of Illinois, in each case located in the City of Chicago, Illinois (and the courts competent to determine appeals from those courts).
