  7. Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration within two years after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim. If applicable law provides a different limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.
  8. Any arbitration hearing (“Hearing”) will be located at a site in New York (Manhattan) County selected by the Arbitrator, pursuant to the Rules.  The Hearing may be conducted telephonically or videographically, upon request from either party.

  9. The arbitration will be conducted in front of a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”), selected from the appropriate list of JAMS, Inc. arbitrators pursuant to the Rules. The parties agree that the Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Service or the documents it incorporates by reference, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Service (including this Arbitration Agreement) is void or voidable.

  11. The Arbitrator may issue an arbitration award in accordance with the Rules and any limitations of liability set out in Section 12 of these Terms of Service.  Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so.

An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential effect. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law.
