Unless we each agree otherwise, the Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator and will take place in New York City, New York. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms of Use will also apply during the arbitration. We each agree not to pursue arbitration on a classwide basis. We each are responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other fees and costs relating to the arbitration.
