Binding Arbitration:  Any controversy or claim arising out of your use of the
Platform, these Terms and Conditions, and/or our Privacy Policy shall be settled by
binding arbitration before Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), in a
location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein (provided that such location

is reasonably convenient for claimant), or at such other location as may be mutually
agreed upon by the parties, in accordance with the procedural rules for commercial
disputes set forth in the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS
(“JAMS Rules and Procedures”) then prevailing, and judgment upon the award
rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and
Procedures. Please go to www.jamsadr.com to see a complete copy of the JAMS
Rules and Procedures or to submit a claim for arbitration.


In resolving a claim for arbitration, the arbitrator shall apply Missouri law consistent
with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall
honor claims of privilege recognized at law. In the event that you are able to
demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the
costs of litigation, we will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection
with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration
from being cost-prohibitive. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be
invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a
class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures
established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in
effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid,
unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If,
however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims
will not be arbitrated on a class, representative, or collective basis, or as a private
attorney general on behalf of other persons similarly situated, then the entirety of
this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor we shall be
entitled to arbitrate the dispute. Upon filing a demand for arbitration, all parties to
such arbitration shall have the right of discovery, which discovery shall be
completed within sixty days after the demand for arbitration is made, unless further
extended by mutual agreement of the parties. Disputes regarding the arbitrability of
any claim shall be resolved by the arbitrator.


THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL
BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS
MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE
PROCEEDING. YOU MAY NOT BRING ANY CLAIM AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY
GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED PERSONS.THE
ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN THE CLAIMS OF OTHER
PERSONS OR PARTIES WHO MAY BE SIMILARLY SITUATED.
BY AGREEING TO THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN,
YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND
LIMITING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL. DO NOT USE THIS SITE IF YOU DO NOT
AGREE TO THE FOREGOING BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.

​

Terms and Conditions shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the
right to enforce such provision. A printed version of the Terms and Conditions and
of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or
administrative proceedings based upon or relating to the Terms and Conditions to
the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents
and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
