Excluding (i) claims for injunctive or other equitable relief sought by MountainSeed as provided below, or (ii) disputes that are brought and exclusively and fully resolved in small claims court, any claims related to the Sites and any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, including without limitation, any and all disputes, claims (whether in tort, contract, statutory or otherwise) or disagreements concerning the existence, breach, interpretation, application or termination of the Terms, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) to be heard under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect. The parties intend to be bound to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. An arbitration means there will be no jury, and no judge.

The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and take place in the state of Georgia or at the option of the party seeking relief, online, by telephone, online, in your state of residence or via written submissions alone. The arbitrator may not issue any injunction. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU AGREE THAT EACH PARTY TO A DISPUTE HEREUNDER MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

Unless both you and we agree, no arbitrator or judge may consolidate more than one person’s claims or otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
