15. Dispute Resolution
It is expressly agreed that any Dispute (as defined below) arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York and the arbitration rules of the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”).

In arbitration, there’s no judge or jury and review is limited. However, just as a court would, the arbitrator must honor the terms and limitations in the Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief, including any attorney’s fees authorized by law. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. We each also agree as follows:

1.“Disputes” are any claims or controversies against each other related in any way to our website, mobile app, content or these Terms of Use – this includes claims you bring against our employees, agents, affiliates or other representatives, and claims Erin may bring against you.
2. If either of us wants to arbitrate a Dispute, we agree to send written notice to the other providing a description of the dispute, previous efforts to resolve the dispute, all supporting documents/information, and the proposed resolution. We will send notice to you based on the contact information you have provided us and notice to us must be sent to: _______________________________________We agree to make attempts to resolve the dispute. If we cannot resolve the dispute within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the notice to arbitrate, then we may submit the dispute to formal arbitration.
3. The FAA applies to this Agreement and arbitration provision. We each agree the FAA’s provisions, not state law, govern all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.
4. The arbitration will be administered by the National Arbitration Forum (“NAF”) under its arbitration rules. If any NAF rule conflicts with these Terms of Use, these Terms of Use apply. You can obtain procedures, rules, and fee information from the NAF at 1-800-474-2371 or www.adrforum.com.
5. 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.
6. We each agree not to pursue arbitration on a classwide basis. We each agree that any arbitration will be solely between you and us (not brought on behalf of or together with another individual’s claim). If for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the dispute must be brought in court.
7. 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.

16. No Class Actions
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE DISPUTES ON A CLASSWIDE BASIS; THAT IS, TO EITHER JOIN A CLAIM WITH THE CLAIM OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY, OR ASSERT A CLAIM IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF ANYONE ELSE IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

17. No Trial By Jury
TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, WE EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING.

18. Amendments
We reserve the right in our sole discretion and at any time and for any reason, to modify or discontinue any aspect or feature of our website or mobile app. In addition, we may modify these Terms of Use. Modifications to these Terms of Use will be effective immediately upon notice, either by posting on our website or mobile app or by notification by email or conventional mail. It is your responsibility to review the Terms of Use and our website from time to time for any changes. Your continued use of the website or mobile app after any changes have been made to these Terms of Use signifies and confirms your acceptance of any changes or amendments to these Terms of Use. If you object to any subsequent revision to the Terms of Use you may terminate your membership. If you do not have a membership, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use of our website and/or mobile app.

19. Miscellaneous
No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import. If any provision of these Terms of Use is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use, which shall remain in full force and effect.
These Terms of Use (including any amendments and the Privacy Policy incorporated by reference) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between us with respect to such subject matter.
You may not assign these Terms of Use or assign any rights or delegate any obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without our prior written consent. Any such purported assignment or delegation by you without the appropriate prior written consent will be null and void and of no force and effect.

20. Notices
