Arbitration of Disputes
EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ONLINE SERVICES (EACH, A "DISPUTE"), WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY AND YOU AGREE THAT, WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE, (A) TESTSMARTER AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A COURT ACTION AND A TRIAL BY A JURY; (B) ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; (C) CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED; AND (D) YOU ARE GIVING UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (currently available online at https://adr.org/consumer) as amended by these SMS / Text Messaging Terms and Conditions. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will follow the terms of these SMS / Text Message Terms and Conditions and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim, or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these SMS / Text Messaging Terms and Conditions, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these SMS / Text Messaging Terms and Conditions will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if applicable law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
