Disputes. We want to address your concerns without filing a formal legal case.

Opt-Out.

If you opt out, neither you nor Company can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.
Arbitration Procedures. Except in the event the claim meets the requirements set forth in the ‘Exceptions to Consumer TOS to Arbitrate’ section below and/or if you opt out of arbitration as described below, all claims shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules, in effect at the time the proceedings begin, of the American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy and/or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. All information relating to and/or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any disputes shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information and shall not be disclosed without prior written authorization of the disclosing party. The arbitration shall be held in Cook County, Illinois or any other location we agree to. Each party shall bear the burden of its own counsel fees incurred in connection with any arbitration proceedings.
Exceptions to Consumer TOS to Arbitrate. Either you and/or Company may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Cook County, Illinois. Company may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use and/or abuse of the Services, breach of Company’s confidential information and/or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright and/or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration and/or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein.
Judicial forum for disputes. In the event that the Consumer TOS to arbitrate is found not to apply to you and/or your claim, you and Company agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Cook County, Chicago, Illinois. Both you and Company consent to the foregoing venue and jurisdiction.

Waiver. The failure by either party at any time to enforce any of the provisions of this Consumer TOS and/or any right or remedy available hereunder and/or at law and/or in equity, and/or to exercise any option herein provided, shall not constitute a waiver of such provision, right, remedy and/or option and/or in any way affect the validity of this Consumer TOS.
