10. Dispute Resolution
a. Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms or the Services (each a "Dispute"), you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one party to the other.
b. Binding Arbitration
If you and the Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved through binding arbitration. You understand that without this provision, you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in [Your County], [Your State]. Except as otherwise provided herein, the parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
c. Restrictions
You and the Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Company and you individually. To the fullest extent permitted by law:
(i) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding;
(ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and
(iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
d. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:
(i) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or the Company’s intellectual property rights;
(ii) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and
