Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

We may require you, in our sole discretion, to submit any claim, dispute or controversy (whether in contract, tort or otherwise, whether pre-existing, present or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive and equitable claims) between you and us arising from or relating in any way to your use of the website, including disputes arising from or concerning the interpretation, violation, invalidity, non-performance, or termination of these Terms, to confidential, final, and binding arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying English law. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL BE ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS, REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS, MASS ACTIONS, AND CONSOLIDATION WITH OTHER ARBITRATIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. YOU WAVIE ANY RIGHT TO CONSOLIDATE ANY CLAIM AND/OR TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER, OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM THAT MAY ARISE HEREUNDER IN ANY MANNER OR FORUM. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Section. (The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.) The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this section.

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by us, the place of arbitration shall be London, England. Any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of the State of Illinois. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees.

The arbitral tribunal may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration Terms will be enforced.

If you are a business, these Terms of service, their subject matter and their formation (and any non-contractual disputes or claims) are governed by English law. We both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

No delay in, or failure to, enforce any right or provision of these Terms by us, or partial enforcement, or any course of dealing related to any right or provision of these Terms, will constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by us.
