Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Guerrero and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

(a) Except for small claims disputes in which you or Guerrero seek to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or Guerrero seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for any alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, you and Guerrero waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services (including regarding our privacy policy) (“Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website (available at: www.jamsadr.com) and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.Each arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator, and Guerrero and you will have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the process of choosing the arbitrator.

(b) You and Guerrero agree that any Dispute is personal to you and Guerrero and that any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

(c) You and Guerrero agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 16 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. As part of the arbitration, both you and Guerrero will have the opportunity for reasonable discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Dispute.

(d) Unless you and Guerrero otherwise agree, the arbitration will be held in the county of your billing address. If JAMS arbitration is unavailable in that county, the arbitration will take place in the nearest available location for a JAMS arbitration.

(e) With respect to the cost of the arbitration, if you initiate arbitration against Guerrero, you will be responsible for JAMS filing fees up to a maximum of $250. All other costs payable to JAMS will be paid by Guerrero, including any remaining JAMS case management fee and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. If Guerrero initiates arbitration against you, Guerrero will pay all costs payable to JAMS in connection with the arbitration.Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees and any other costs that are not payable to JAMS to administer the arbitration.

(f) You and Guerrero agree that the state or federal courts of the State of Illinois and the United States sitting in Cook County, Illinois have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

(g) ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR OUR SERVICES MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM AROSE; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU AND GUERRERO WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THE CLAIM.

(h) You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within thirty (30) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by emailing [[email protected]]. In order to be effective, the opt out notice must include your full name and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 16.
