14. CLASS ACTION WAIVER; ARBITRATION; JURY TRIAL WAIVER

To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, you and the Company each agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof or the use of the Service (collectively, “Disputes”) will be resolved solely by final and binding, individual arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association applying Arizona law located in Phoenix, AZ.
