ARBITRATION & CLASS ACTION WAIVER NOTICE: Section 15 of these Terms contains a mandatory binding arbitration agreement and class action waiver that requires you to resolve disputes with us on an individual basis (with specific bellwether staging rules for Mass Claims) rather than through jury trials or class actions, and limits the remedies available to you.
