Arbitration; Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (JURY TRIAL WAIVER) OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SPECIFIED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS) WITH TSR AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM TSR (NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS).

1. Binding Arbitration; Disputes; Small Claims. You and TSR agree to waive any right to a jury trial, or the right to have any Dispute resolved in any court, and instead accept the use of binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination); provided, however, that you have the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the Dispute, are satisfied. You agree to bring a Dispute in small claims court in New York County (Manhattan), New York, or, if you reside in the U.S., in a small claims court in your county of residence. “Dispute” as used in this Section means any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy arising out of or in any way related to TSR, this Agreement, the subject matter of these this Agreement, or access to and use of the Site, including, but not limited to, contract, personal injury, tort, warranty, statute or regulation, or other legal or equitable basis and disputes that involve third parties (such as developers of third party content), except any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy relating to the Client’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and/or patents). You and TSR empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.
2. No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and TSR agree that any Dispute is personal to you and TSR, and that any Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding.  Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither you nor TSR agree that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action whether inside or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.
3. Federal Arbitration Act. You and TSR agree that This Agreement affects interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section shall be governed by, construed, and enforced, both substantively and procedurally, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
4. Confidentiality. The arbitrator, TSR, and you shall maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including, but not limited to, any and all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator shall have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.
5. Process. Our goal is to resolve claims fairly and quickly. Accordingly, for any Dispute that you have against TSR, you agree to first contact TSR and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to TSR. The Notice to TSR must be sent by certified mail addressed to:  14 Business Park Drive, Suite 7, Branford, CT 06033. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, and the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your account; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and TSR cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may, as appropriate in accordance with this Section, commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in court. You and TSR agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred.
   In the event that you and TSR cannot resolve a Dispute and you do not pursue your claims through small claims court, you or TSR shall promptly submit the Dispute to binding arbitration at the office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). In the event AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, you and TSR agree to use an arbitration forum or arbitrator that you and TSR mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, you and TSR are not able to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) then in effect. The AAA Rules and other information about AAA and arbitration are readily available at http://www.adr.org, by calling 1-800-778-7879, or by mail at 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271.  By entering into this Agreement, you either (1) acknowledge that you have read and understand the AAA Rules or (2) waive reading the AAA Rules and waive any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair in any way. You and TSR agree that this Agreement governs the arbitration, and that the applicable AAA Rules shall be subject to changes in procedures that AAA may make from time to time.
   As limited by the FAA, this Agreement, and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute; provided, however, that this power does not include the power to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by this Agreement (as stated above). The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, or any proceeding on behalf of or involving more than one person or persons.
   Unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, TSR will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you the amount of the award or U.S. $5,000, whichever is greater, and pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorneys’ fees incurred, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that you or your attorney reasonably accrue for investigating, preparing and pursuing your claim in arbitration. We waive any right to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any non-frivolous arbitration between you and us.
6. Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor TSR can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within thirty (30) days of the date that you first became a Member, and must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your Site membership account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Any requests to opt out must be sent to:  14 Business Park Drive, Suite 7, Branford, CT 06033.  If a court or arbitrator decides that any of this section’s limitations cannot be enforced as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Unless you choose to opt out, this dispute resolution provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.
7. Waiver of Injunctive Relief.  IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SITE, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND.  THIS MEANS THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCT, SERVICES, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED OR CONTROLLED BY TSR OR CLIENT (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED CONTENT) OR A LICENSOR OF TSR OR CLIENT.
