If the Company is not able to resolve the dispute informally, then this Section 10(e) will govern any dispute, claim, action, proceeding or controversy (collectively, “Disputes”) that arises out of or in connection with or relates or is incident to this Agreement or the Membership Documents or the execution, delivery or performance hereof or thereof, including Membership or the Service.

Class Action Waiver. Each Party agrees (A) that any Dispute shall be conducted on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action and (B) to waive the right to participate as a plaintiff as a class member in any class action or proceeding. Unless each Party mutually agrees otherwise in writing, the arbitrator in any Dispute may not consolidate more than one Person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class action or proceeding.
Arbitration Administration and Rules. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (if you use the Products as a consumer) or Commercial Arbitration Rules (if you are a professional, vendor, seller or other business), as applicable and then in effect (the “AAA Rules”), except as expressly modified by this Section 10(e). (The AAA Rules are available at http://www.adr.org).
Arbitration Process. A Party who desires to initiate arbitration to resolve a Dispute must provide the other Party with a written “Demand for Arbitration” as specified in the AAA Rules. The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law and will be selected by the Parties from the AAA’s roster of arbitrators with relevant experience. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA shall appoint an arbitrator in accordance with AAA Rules.
Arbitration Location and Procedure. The seat of the arbitration shall be in New York, New York, unless the Parties mutually agree or the AAA Rules or AAA Consumer Due Process Protocol, as applicable, provide otherwise. If the amount in Dispute does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents each Party submits to the arbitrator, unless a Party requests a hearing and the arbitrator then determines that a hearing is necessary. If the amount in Dispute exceeds $10,000, then the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the Parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration. Hearings may be conducted by telephone or video conference, if requested and mutually agreed to by the Parties.
Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the timeframe specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any award of damages by an arbitrator must be consistent with the "Disclaimers and Limitations of Liability" section above. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief in favor of the claimant only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. g. Fees. Each party's responsibility to pay the arbitration filing, administrative and arbitrator fees will depend on the circumstances of the arbitration and are set forth in the AAA Rules.
Opt-Out. You have the right to opt out of the arbitration provisions of this Section 10(e) by sending a written notice of your decision to opt out to the Company in accordance with Section 10(a).

The Member hereby releases and forever discharges, irrevocably and unconditionally, each Indemnified Party, of and from any such Third Party Claim.

If any provision of this Agreement is illegal, invalid or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever after giving effect to Section 10(g)(i) above, such provision will be fully severable, and this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not a part of this Agreement with the remaining provisions of this Agreement remaining in full force and effect and unaffected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Agreement so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.
