14.2 Binding Arbitration

If the informal dispute resolution process does not resolve the dispute, you and nom agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that:

We will also pay all fees if required by law or the AAA rules.

14.5 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND NOM AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

If this class action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision will be null and void (but the rest of these Terms will remain in effect).
