You further acknowledge that You have read this Arbitration provision carefully, agree to its terms voluntarily and not in reliance on any promises or representations whatsoever except those contained in this Privacy Policy and this binding Arbitration clause. Arbitration of Claims. Except as expressly provided herein, any claim, dispute or controversy (whether based upon contract; tort, intentional or otherwise; constitution; statute; common law; or equity and whether pre-existing, present or future), including initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims and third-party claims, arising from or relating to (i) the Website, (ii) the Application, (iii) the Services; (iv) the Privacy Policy, including the validity, enforceability, interpretation, scope, or application of the Privacy Policy and this binding Arbitration provision; (v) any other agreement or instrument relating to the Website, Application or Services, including our Terms of Service and Services Agreement; and (vi) any product(s) or service(s) sold using the Website, Application or Services (collectively a “Claim” or “Claims”) shall be decided, upon the election of You, Us (which includes all Indemnified Parties) or the seller of goods or services using the Website, Application or Services (which includes their owners, partners, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates, insurers, and attorneys, by binding Arbitration pursuant to this Arbitration Clause and the applicable rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), which shall serve as the Arbitration administrator, in effect at the time the Claim is filed.

Other Claims Subject to Arbitration. In addition to Claims brought by either You, Us or a User of the Website, Application or Services, Claims made by or against Us or anyone acting on Your or our behalf (including anyone with access to Your mobile phone or account with Us, or an employee, agent, representative, affiliated company, predecessor or successor, heir, assignee, or trustee in bankruptcy) shall be subject to Arbitration as described herein. Exception. You and We agree not to invoke our right to arbitrate any individual Claim You bring in small claims court or an equivalent court so long as the Claim is pending only in that court and remains pending only in that court. Individual Claims Only. It is the intent of the parties to require all Claims to be submitted to Arbitration on an individual basis only. Claims subject to this Arbitration Clause may not be joined or consolidated in Arbitration with any Claim of any other person or be arbitrated on a class basis, in a representative capacity on behalf of the general public or on behalf of any other person, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. If a claim is made against Us (which includes Released Parties) and a User, We and the User are one person for purposes of this Arbitration Clause. Arbitration Fees. If an Arbitration is initiated by either party, who is responsible for payment of any Arbitration deposit or fees will be governed by the then applicable AAA rules, except that if the claim is governed by the AAA’s commercial rules, the parties agree to share equally in the costs of the Arbitration with respect to any AAA deposits, fees and expenses, except that each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and costs. Procedure. A single arbitrator will resolve the Claims. The Arbitrator will be a lawyer with at least ten years’ experience or who is a former or retired judge. The Arbitration shall follow the AAA rules and procedures in effect on the date the Arbitration is filed, except when there is a conflict or inconsistency between the rules and procedures of the Arbitration administrator and this Arbitration provision, in which case this Arbitration provision shall govern. Location of Arbitration Proceeding. Any in-person Arbitration hearing for a Claim shall take place within the federal judicial district in which the claimant lives or maintains its principal place of business, or at such other reasonably convenient location as agreed by the parties. Governing Law. This Arbitration provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (the “FAA”). The Arbitrator shall apply applicable substantive law consistent with the FAA and shall honor all claims of privilege and confidentiality recognized at law. All statutes of limitations that would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any Arbitration proceeding. The Arbitrator shall only be empowered to grant only relief that would be available in court under law or in equity. The Arbitrator shall not be permitted to disregard the applicable law to do equity. At the request of any party, the arbitrator will provide a written explanation of the basis for the disposition of each claim, including written findings of fact and conclusions of law. XXII.
