14. Dispute Resolution

You agree that any dispute, action, or claim relating in any manner to these Terms or the Online Services will be resolved, individually and not in a class action, by binding arbitration in Englewood, Colorado pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect the party’s rights or property.

A class action, consolidated action, or representative action is a legal proceeding brought by a group of people, with an identical claim, who are represented together by a member of the group.

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree that any dispute, action, or claim will be resolved on an individual basis and not in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. If, for any reason, any dispute, action, or claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you agree to only bring your claim on an individual basis and not as part of a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. You agree to waive any rights that you may have to bring a claim in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action.

Your use of the Online Services will constitute your agreement to the updated Terms.

b. Severability

If any portion of these Terms are held unenforceable, the unenforceable portion shall be construed to the greatest extent possible under applicable law. Our failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these Terms shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right.

Our failure to enforce or exercise our rights under or provision of the Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
