These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Arizona, USA, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or the use of the Site (collectively, “Disputes”) shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect, except as modified herein. The arbitration shall be conducted in Maricopa County, Phoenix, Arizona, by a single arbitrator mutually agreed upon by the parties or, if no agreement can be reached, appointed in accordance with the AAA Rules. The language of the arbitration shall be English. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The parties agree to waive any right to litigate Disputes in court or participate in a class action or representative proceeding. This arbitration provision requires mandatory arbitration on an individual basis.
