- 6.1 Agreement to Arbitrate. By using the Site, you agree that any disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or your use of the Site will be resolved through binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 6 (“Arbitration”). You understand that you have the right to reject this provision as set forth under “Right to Opt Out” below. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable.

- 6.3 Arbitration Procedures. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Section 6 or any countervailing law. You may obtain copies of the current rules, forms, and instructions for initiating an arbitration with the AAA by visiting www.adr.org. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Section 6, this provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply. The arbitration will be held in the United States county of your residence, or any other location the parties agree to. All fees and expenses of the arbitrator and administrative fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be paid by the parties as provided by the AAA rules governing the proceeding, or by specific ruling by the arbitrator or agreement of the parties.

Further, unless consented to in writing by both parties, the arbitrator may not join or consolidate Claims with claims of any other persons. No arbitrator shall have authority to conduct any arbitration in violation of this provision or to issue any relief that applies to any third party. Any challenge to the validity of this Section 6 shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by an administrator or any arbitrator.
