The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration following the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Selavy Ltd.'s principal place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws.

In that case, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the exact experience requirement.
In a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement following the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). The parties also agree that the AAA's rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in place of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision.

The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages. Each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages concerning any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis. This agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding.

Suppose any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable. Such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or condition of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable, such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

You understand and agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, you and Selavy Ltd. are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Accordingly, these Terms shall be subject to and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act.
Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this agreement or the performance of such duties will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation.

In that case, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary. This agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates, or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise.
