Arbitration. All disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of, relating to, or regarding this Agreement, including the breach, termination, or validity thereof, shall be determined pursuant to arbitration on the following terms, namely:
If you and TradersPost are unable to resolve a dispute (a “Dispute”) through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except where explicitly prohibited by applicable law) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. 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. You and TradersPost shall equally share the cost of the arbitration, but each party shall be responsible for its own attorney’s fees. The arbitration may be conducted in person at mutually agreed upon location, or virtually 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 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.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either party be commenced more than 2 years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts of TradersPost’s home state, and the parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
The parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) 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.
