All disputes will be resolved via arbitration. DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Content, or the Websites (hereafter referred to as “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”).

Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party.

If either party elects arbitration, neither shall have the right to litigate such claim in court or to have a jury trial. Either party may bring its claim into its local small claims court if that is permitted by the small claims court rules and if they are within such a court’s jurisdiction.

All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator in the state of Michigan, selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules www.adr.org and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules,or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online or with a designated proxy.

If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States in the state of Michigan. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 18, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY ONLY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

21. EQUITABLE RELIEF

We may, without waiving any other agents under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, provisional, or equitable, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration as referenced above.

You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of Michigan for purposes of any such action by us.
