Any and all legal issues, claims or disputes arising out of or connected or related in any way any Site Activity (a “Claim”) shall be resolved through final, binding arbitration.

- Class Action Waiver. To fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You agree that any Claim MUST BE BROUGHT ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION. There shall be no right or authority for any Claim to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class or collective action, and the arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator may award any remedy to which a party is entitled under applicable law, but remedies shall be limited to those that would be available to a party in their individual capacity.
- One-Year Time Limit to Raise Claims. You agree that any Claim must be filed within ONE (1) YEAR of the omission, event or occurrence giving rise to the Claim. After the expiration of the one-year period, such Claim will be time-barred and prohibited, without regard to any longer period of time which may be provided by any period of limitation or pursuant to law or statute.
- Waiver of Jury Trial. BOTH YOU AND WE HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL, STATUTORY AND COMMON LAW RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.
