Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
The terms contain an arbitration clause and a class action waiver clause, meaning disputes must be resolved through binding arbitration individually, rather than in court or as part of a class action.
Mandatory arbitrationClass-action waiver
Why it matters: You are agreeing that you must pursue your claims in a binding arbitration proceeding (and not in a court) and only on an individual (and not a class action) basis. This limits your ability to take legal action against the company through traditional court processes or as part of a group.
THESE TERMS OF USE CONTAIN AN ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER CLAUSE. BY USING THIS APPLICATION, YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE TERMS OF USE AND, WHILE YOU MAY STILL PURSUE CLAIMS AGAINST US, WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS (FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 20.5 BELOW), YOU ARE AGREEING THAT YOU MUST PURSUE YOUR CLAIMS IN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROCEEDING (AND NOT IN A COURT) AND ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (AND NOT A CLASS ACTION) BASIS.
