<h1>3. Arbitration</h1>
<p>PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS,
INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION,
YOU AND THE COMPANY AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED BELOW)
THAT HAVE ARISEN OR MAY ARISE BETWEEN YOU AND THE COMPANY SHALL BE RESOLVED
EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, RATHER
THAN IN COURT.</p>
<p>Except where expressly provided below, you and the Company agree that all claims, disputes or
controversies between you and the Company, its parents, affiliates, subsidiaries, related companies,
predecessors in interest, successors or assigns and any and all of their respective directors, officers,
employees and contractors, that have arisen or may arise, shall be resolved by the final and binding
arbitration procedures and terms set forth in this section. This arbitration provision is intended to be
broadly interpreted. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties agreement to arbitrate includes, but is not
limited to, all claims, disputes or controversies relating to (i) the Website, the Services and Materials
available on or through the Website, (ii) the display of information about you on the Website, Services and
Materials, (iii) any transaction or relationship between usresulting
from your use of our Websites, communications between us, or the purchase, order, (iv) the information provided in connection with our website (v) the issue of arbitrability, including the
interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, whether any of the
aforementioned claims arise in tort, contract, federal, state or local statute, law, order, ordinance,
regulation or other basis, and whether such claims arose prior to your agreement to these Terms or may
arise after your termination of your use of the Website, (all collectively “Claims”).</p>
<p>THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE BROUGHT SOLELY IN
THE PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY
PURPORTED CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.
THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD A PREVAILING CLAIMANT ANY RELIEF THAT A COURT COULD
AWARD PROVIDED SUCH RELIEF IS ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF
AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF WARRANTED BY THAT PARTY’S
INDIVIDUAL CLAIM AND NOT CLAIMS OF ANY THIRD PARTIES. UNLESS THE PARTIES AGREE
OTHERWISE, THE PARTIES FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE
THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A
REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. THE COMPANY DOES NOT CONSENT TO CLASS
ARBITRATION. You acknowledge that this PROVISION is material and essential to the arbitration of any
Claims between the parties and is nonseverable from the agreement to arbitrate claims. If any portion of this PROVISION is limited, voided, or cannot be enforced, then the parties' agreement to arbitrate shall be
null and void.</p>
<p>BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU ARE GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO
COURT, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. In the arbitration provided for in this provision, a
dispute is resolved by a neutral arbitrator, rather than by a judge or jury. ANY CONTROVERSY
CONCERNING THE VALIDITY, ENFORCEABILITY, REVOCABILITY AND SCOPE OF THIS AGREEMENT
TO ARBITRABLE SHALL BE DETERMINED BY THE ARBITRATOR AND NOT BY THE COURT. THIS
ARBITRATION CONTRACT IS MADE PURSUANT TO A TRANSACTION IN INTERSTATE COMMERCE
AND ITS INTERPRETATION, APPLICATION, ENFORCEMENT AND PROCEEDINGS HEREUNDER,
INCLUDING ENFORCEMENT OF ANY RESULTING AWARD, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE FEDERAL
ARBITRATION ACT (“FAA”).</p>
<p style="text-decoration: underline;">
  The following procedures shall apply to any arbitration conducted under this section:
</p>
<p><b>A. Negotiate First</b>. In the event a party wishes to proceed with binding arbitration, it shall provide written
notice thereof to the other party by registered or certified mail and shall describe in such notice (“Notice of
Dispute”), with reasonable particularity, the nature and basis of such Claim and the total amount of the
Claim. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, the party receiving notice of a Claim shall provide a
written response which, with reasonable particularity, sets forth its position concerning the Claim. If the
parties are unable to resolve the dispute arising from the Claim by good faith negotiations to be conducted
within the thirty (30)-day period following the written response, either of them may initiate binding
arbitration pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. This is a mandatory requirement prior to
initiating any arbitration proceeding.</p>
<p><b>B. Arbitration Rules</b>. The arbitration will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures
and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and will be administered by the AAA. If the AAA is unavailable or
refuses to arbitrate the parties’ dispute for any reason, the arbitration shall be administered and conducted
by a widely-recognized arbitration organization that is mutually agreeable to the parties, but neither party
shall unreasonably withhold their consent. The AAA Rules are available online <a href="https://www.adr.org/">www.adr.org</a>.</p>
<p><b>C. Location</b>. Unless otherwise agreed, the arbitration shall take place in the capital city of the state in which
the consumer resides, but may proceed telephonically if both parties agree.</p>
<p><b>D. Cost Sharing</b>.  Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s
rules. The Company will pay as much of the filing, administration and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator
deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The arbitrator may award
reasonable documented attorneys' fees to the party that ultimately prevails.</p>
<p><b>E. Arbitrator’s Decision.</b>. The arbitrator will decide the substance of the Claims in accordance with the laws
of the State of New York, regardless of choice of law principles. The arbitrator will have the power to
awarda party any relief or remedy that the party could have received in court in accordance with the laws
thatapply to the Claims except as limited by the provision above requiring that claims be adjudicated on an
individual basis. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Unless otherwise prohibited by law,
regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall not issue a reasoned
written decision.</p>
<h2>Exceptions</h2>
<p><b>A. Small Claims</b>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may choose to pursue their Claims in small
claims court (rather than arbitration) where jurisdiction and venue over the Company and you are proper,
and where the claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief, and so long as the matter
advances on an individual (non-class) basis.</p>
<p><b>B. Temporary or Preliminary Injunctive Relief</b>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in court. The proceeding shall be limited to determining the
appropriateness of preliminary or injunctive relief only and only with respect to the claim for which such
relief is sought. Any decision rendered by the court shall then be subject to review by the arbitrator should
the seeking party pursue permanent injunctive relief or other Claims in arbitration.</p>
<h2>Arbitration Opt-Out</h2>
<p>Agreeing to this arbitration is not a mandatory condition of your contractual relationship with the
Company. If you do not want to be subject to this arbitration provision, you may opt out. To do so send
written notice of your decision to opt out to the address in Section 36. The opt-out notice must state that
you do not agree to this agreement to arbitrate and must include your name, address, phone number and
email address(es) used to register with or use the Website, the related Services and Materials or the
Background Information Services, as well as the name, address, phone number and email address(es) of any
person for whom you are opting out as their agent. You and any persons for whom you are opting out as an
agent on their behalf must sign the opt-out notice for it be effective.</p>
<p>The required opt out must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first use of either the Website, the related
Services and Materials from our website, or if you are already a user of the Website,the related Services
and Materials upon initial posting of thisarbitration provision, within thirty (30) days of the posting of this
arbitration provision. Any opt-out notreceived within the applicable thirty (30) day period set forth above
will not be valid. For existing usersbound by a prior arbitration provision with the Company for which they
did not opt out, any opt outexercised within thirty (30) days of the posting of this arbitration provision,
shall only apply to thisarbitration provision. Your existing arbitration provision with the Company will
remain in full force andeffect. Moreover, neither your acceptance of this Agreement nor your decision to
opt out of this arbitrationprovision will affect any obligation you have to arbitrate disputes not specified in
this arbitration provisionpursuant to any other agreement you have with the Company.</p>
<p>If you opt-out of the agreement to arbitrate, you and the Company agree that any Claims will be resolved
by a state or federal court located in New York County pursuant to Section 5. Further, if you opt out of the
agreement to arbitrate, you will remain bound by the separate Class Action Waiver set forth below.</p>
<h2>Administration of Coordinated Arbitrations</h2>
<p>If 10 or more claimants submit Notices or seek to file arbitrations raising similar claims and are represented
by the same or coordinated counsel (whether such case are pursued simultaneously or not), all the cases
must be resolved in staged proceedings. You agree to this process even though it may delay the arbitration
of your claim. In the first stage, claimants’ counsel and the Company will each select an equal number of
cases (up to the lesser of one-half of the similar claims each or 25 cases each (50 cases total)) to proceed in
arbitration and resolved individually by different arbitrators. In the meantime, no other cases involving the
same or similar subject matter may proceed in arbitration, and the parties will jointly request that the AAA
to not assess or demand payment of fees for the remaining cases or administer or accept the remaining
cases.</p>
<p>The arbitrators are encouraged to resolve the cases within 120 days of appointment or as swiftly as
possible thereafter, consistent with fairness to the parties. After the first stage is completed, the parties
must engage in a single mediation of all remaining cases. The arbitrators will pay the mediation fee. If the
parties cannot agree how to resolve any of the remaining cases after mediation, they will repeat the
process of selecting and filing up to 50 cases to be resolved individually by different arbitrators, followed
by mediation.</p>
<p>If any cases remain after the second stage, the process will be repeated until all claims are resolved, with
four differences. First, a total of 100 cases may be filed in the third and later stages. Second, the cases will
be randomly selected. Third, arbitrators who decided cases in the first two stages may be appointed in later
stages if different arbitrators are not available. Fourth, mediation is optional at the election of counsel for
the claimants.</p>
<p>Between stages, counsel will meet and confer regarding ways to improve the efficiency of the staged
proceedings, including whether to increase the number of cases filed in each stage. Either party may also
negotiate with the AAA regarding the amount or timing of AAA fees.</p>
<p>This Section concerning Coordinated Arbitrations and each of its requirements are intended to be
severable from the rest of this arbitration provision. If, after exhaustion of all appeals, a court decides that
the staging process in this Section is not enforceable, then the cases may be filed in arbitration and the
payment of AAA Fees will be assessed as the arbitrations advance and arbitrators are appointed rather
than when arbitrations are initiated.</p>
<h1>4. Class Action Waiver</h1>
<p>Separate and apart from the agreement to arbitrate set forth above and to the maximum extent permitted
by law, the parties hereby independently waive any right to bring or participate in any class action, private
attorney general action, or other representative action, however denominated, in any way for any Claims
against the other.</p>
<p>YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER, YOU MAY ONLY BRING
CLAIMS AGAINST THE COMPANY, ITS AGENTS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES,
SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS AND/OR ASSIGNS IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS
ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.</p>
<h1>5. Forum Selection</h1>
<p>Unless you and the Company agree otherwise, to the greatest extent permitted by law, the state and
federal courts in New York County, New York will have exclusive jurisdiction over any disputes that are not
subject to arbitration or actions to enforce any arbitration award (except for disputes brought in small
claims court). You and the Company consent to the jurisdiction of those courts and waive any objections as
to personal jurisdiction or venue in those courts, or any other basis or right to seek to transfer or change
venue to another court.</p>
