Thus, for example, if you provide prior express written consent to be contacted via telemarketing or SMS/text messaging, any claims that you may have regarding any telemarketing or SMS/text messages that you receive are subject to the mandatory arbitration provision.&nbsp.

CHOICE OF LAW/JURISDICTION AND VENUE  You agree that these Terms &amp. Conditions constitute the agreement between us and that New York law controls, without regard to conflicts of law provisions.&nbsp. Any dispute that is not resolved by arbitration and proceeds in a state or federal court will be adjudicated in a court in the state of New York.&nbsp. You expressly waive any defense or objection to venue or personal jurisdiction. ARBITRATION/DISPUTE RESOLUTION You agree to arbitrate any and all claims arising out of or related to the Agreement.&nbsp. If you have a dispute concerning any aspect of the Agreement, including without limitation, your participation in a Promotion, entitlement to an Incentive or a telemarketing call or SMS/text message that you received from us or a Marketing Partner, you should first contact customer support on the Site or complete a customer support ticket.&nbsp. We will attempt to resolve the matter to your satisfaction within thirty (30) days of our receipt of a customer support ticket.&nbsp. We may choose to provide you with a final written settlement offer during this process.&nbsp. If we provide you with a final written settlement offer and you don't accept it, if we can't otherwise satisfactorily resolve your dispute, or if you choose to skip this step, you must submit your dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in the county where you live by filing a separate Demand for Arbitration online by following the instructions at https://apps.adr.org/webfile/. An AAA arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute or claims that you may have with us—and our Marketing Partners who are third-party beneficiaries of the mandatory arbitration provision—arising out of or related to the Agreement.&nbsp. Matters subject to mandatory arbitration include, without limitation, whether this Arbitration/Dispute Resolution provision applies to your particular claim or dispute, and any claim that all or any part of the Agreement, including this provision, are/is unenforceable.&nbsp. If the claim is against us, you will need our mailing address to file online.&nbsp. To obtain our mailing address, contact us by clicking here.  Either party may submit the dispute for resolution by arbitration at a location reasonably convenient to both parties.&nbsp. If either party files for arbitration, it will be conducted in accordance with the then current AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules.   If you proceed to arbitration against us, you will pay all AAA filing fees and we will pay for all administration and arbitrator fees unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).&nbsp. For claims brought by you of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00) or less, you can choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by telephone or based only on submissions.&nbsp. The arbitrator may award any form of individual or equitable relief, including injunctive relief.&nbsp. Any award will be final and conclusive to the parties and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.&nbsp. If you initiate arbitration against us and the arbitrator awards you relief that is greater than our final written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected, then we will pay you a minimum recovery of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), plus we will reimburse any reasonable expenses incurred by your attorney, if any, including fees reasonably accrued for investigating, preparing and pursuing the claim in arbitration.&nbsp. Although under some laws we may have a right to an award of attorneys' fees and expenses if we prevail in arbitration, we agree that we will not seek such an award from you.&nbsp. You and your attorneys are not required to keep the results of the arbitration confidential.&nbsp. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in such a suit.  Class Action Waiver.  The arbitration provision contained in these Terms &amp. Conditions does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights and remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above.&nbsp. This provision preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits is an independent agreement.   Exceptions to Mandatory Arbitration.&nbsp. There are two narrow exceptions to mandatory arbitration.&nbsp. First, you may opt-out of the Arbitration/Dispute Resolution provision by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first register on the Site.&nbsp. To obtain our mailing address, contact us by clicking here.   Second, you may choose to pursue your dispute or claim in Small Claims Court rather than by arbitration but only if your dispute or claim qualifies for Small Claims Court in a location where jurisdiction and venue over both you and APC is proper. Other than these two exceptions, you must arbitrate any claims as provided above. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, VIA YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THESE DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS, YOU WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AS WELL AS YOUR RIGHT TO BRING, JOIN OR PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR A CLASS MEMBER IN A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR MULTI-PARTY ARBITRATION BROUGHT AGAINST US, OUR MARKETING PARTNERS OR ANY SERVICE PROVIDER USED BY US TO PROVIDE THE SUBJECT SERVICE.
