Mandatory Arbitration. Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the use of the Site shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. You agree to waive your right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
