These Terms of Use will be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflict-of-law provisions.

Arbitration
In case of a dispute, you are agreeing to waive certain rights, including the right to sue in court, the right to a jury, and the right to participate in class proceedings.
1. Each party (each, a “Party” and together, the “Parties”) to these Terms of Use agrees that all Claims between or among them will be resolved by binding arbitration through either the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) or the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. A Party may initiate arbitration by serving a written demand for arbitration. If the Claim underlying the demand is not resolved informally between the Parties, the Parties agree that the arbitration will commence within 30 days of the date on which the written demand for arbitration is served.
2. For purposes of this section, “Claim” means any claim, dispute, or controversy arising under these Terms of Use, or the interpretation, performance, or breach of these Terms of Use, and/or activities, or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from these Terms of Use.
3. If a Claim does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents the Parties submit to the arbitrator, unless a Party requests a hearing or the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary. If a claim exceeds $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the rules of the selected arbitration organization. The hearing may be held telephonically or videographically if agreed to by the Parties and permitted by applicable rules.
4. Notwithstanding anything in these Terms of Use to the contrary, each Party retains the right to pursue in small claims court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision will apply only to disputes in which a Party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the small claims court.
5. The Party initiating the arbitration will pay the filing fee provided that if the Claim initiated by you is for less than $10,000, then Topkey will reimburse you for the filing fee.
6. Any arbitration proceeding will be conducted in accordance with JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or the Expedited Procedures of the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (“Rules”). If a conflict or inconsistency arises between the rules and procedures of the selected arbitration administrator and this arbitration provision, this arbitration provision will control.

8. CLASS ACTION WAIVER. NO PARTY WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR CONSOLIDATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHERS IN ANY ARBITRATION, OR TO INCLUDE IN ANY ARBITRATION, ANY DISPUTE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, OR TO ACT IN ANY ARBITRATION IN THE INTEREST OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY
9. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE ALL CLAIMS, ALL PARTIES WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EACH MAKES THIS WAIVER KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY, AND VOLUNTARILY AND WITHOUT DURESS, AND ONLY AFTER EXTENSIVE CONSIDERATION OF THE RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER WITH ITS
Miscellaneous
