Dispute Resolution
Your use of the website is governed in all respects by the laws of the state of Delaware in the United States, without regard to choice of law provisions, except to the extent that federal law applies. These Terms of Use and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the United States Arbitration Act shall apply in all cases and govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings. Any claims arising out of, relating to, or connected with these Terms of Use must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The arbitrator shall not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The only exception is, if we reasonably believe that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you hereby irrevocably waive any right you may have to a court trial (other than small claims court) or to serve as a representative, as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity, or to participate as a member of a class of claimants, in any lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding filed against us and/or related third parties.

You acknowledge and agree that, regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of, relating to, or connected with your use of the Website or Services must be filed within one calendar year after such claim or cause of action arises, or forever be barred.
