- Mandatory Arbitration of Disputes. We 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 Services or Content (collectively,
“Disputes”) will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class,
representative or consolidated action or proceeding. You and Iron Funnel agree that the U.S. Federal
Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these Terms of Service, and that you and
Iron Funnel are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. This
arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms of Service.
- Exceptions and Opt-out. As limited exceptions to this Dispute Resolution section (i) you may seek
to resolve a Dispute in small claims court if it qualifies; and (ii) we each retain the right to
seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court to prevent (or enjoin) the infringement or

individuals located in the European Economic Area.
- Conducting Arbitration and Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted by the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”). If you are an individual, the arbitration will be conducted under
the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by these

will be conducted under the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to
start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other
party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.
- If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be
conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or
video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim
exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration
hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a
different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide
all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this
arbitration agreement.
- Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by
the applicable AAA Rules. If you are an individual, we’ll pay for all filing, administration and
arbitrator fees and expenses if your Dispute is for less than $10,000, unless the arbitrator finds
your Dispute frivolous. If we prevail in arbitration we’ll pay all of our attorneys’ fees and costs
and won’t seek to recover them from you. If you prevail in arbitration you will be entitled to an
award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to the extent provided under applicable law.
- Class Action Waiver. YOU AND Iron Funnel AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY

REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, if the parties’ dispute is resolved through arbitration, the
arbitrator may not consolidate another person’s claims with your claims, and may not otherwise
preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found
to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Dispute Resolution section shall be null and void.

Terms of Service is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of these Terms of Service will still
apply.

Agreement, and nothing herein will constitute either party as the employer, employee, agent or
representative of the other party, or both parties as joint venturers or partners for any purpose.
