This section effects legal rights that you may have. It requires binding arbitration of most disputes instead of litigation in court and includes CLASS ACTION and JURY TRIAL WAIVERS.

You agree that any claim, controversy, or dispute related to or arising out of access to and use of the Sites and Services without regard to the legal basis of the claim shall be resolved by binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Administrative Rules and Consumer Arbitration Rules.

Notwithstanding the previous paragraph, we and you may bring suit in a federal or state court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

Any such claim that is not subject to this arbitration clause will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts of Dallas County, Texas and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

BOTH WE AND YOU WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. WE AND YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT DISPUTES MAY NOT BE AGGREGATED OR CONSOLIDATED, UNLESS WE AND YOU OTHERWISE AGREE IN WRITING. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ARBITRATION OF ALL DISPUTES SHALL PROCEED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE, YOU ARE ALSO WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

This arbitration clause does not amend or modify any rights or obligations under any franchise agreement, development agent agreement, or any other contract that you might have with us. Any dispute arising from or related to those agreements are governed by the dispute resolution provisions of those agreements.
