These Terms are for the benefit of the ECI Parties as defined herein, and each of these individuals or entities shall have the right to assert and enforce their provisions directly against you on its own behalf.
14. BINDING ARBITRATION
Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have. It provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of these Terms.
This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of our relationship. Any dispute or claim between you and any ECI Party arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Services (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved on an individual basis through binding arbitration except that (a) you may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court, or (b) you or we may choose to pursue claims in court if the claims relate solely to the collection of any debts you owe to us (collectively, the “Excluded Disputes”).YOU AND WE BOTH WAIVE ANY CLAIMS FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AND ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE CLAIMS ON A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS, INCLUDING IN ANY EXCLUDED DISPUTE. FOR ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM OTHER THAN AN EXCLUDED DISPUTE, YOU AND WE ALSO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY.
You must first present any claim or dispute to us by contacting us in writing or by electronic mail, at the information provided in the “Contacting Us” section herein, to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved to your satisfaction within sixty (60) days. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS“) (or any successor to JAMS), as modified by these Terms. The JAMS Rules are available at www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration. In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration,” then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable arbitration administration service that will hear the case. You and we agree that these Terms evidence a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law. The federal or state law that applies to these Terms will also apply during the arbitration.
Unless you and we agree otherwise, any arbitration will take place in Baltimore, Maryland and will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what these Terms provide, order consolidation or arbitration on a class-wide or representative basis, or award punitive damages or any other damages aside from the prevailing party’s actual damages, except that the arbitrator may award on an individual basis damages required by statute and may order injunctive or declaratory relief pursuant to an applicable consumer protection statute. In any arbitration applying the JAMS Rules applicable to large/complex cases, the arbitrators must also apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, and the losing party may have the award reviewed in accordance with the review procedures set forth in the JAMS Rules. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.
All administrative fees and expenses of any arbitration will be divided equally between you and us, unless otherwise prohibited by law. In all arbitrations, each party will bear the expense of its own counsel, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration.
IF FOR ANY REASON THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE IS DEEMED INAPPLICABLE OR INVALID, YOU AND WE BOTH WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, ANY CLAIMS TO RECOVER PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES AND ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY CLAIMS ON A CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS OR IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. IF THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE ORTHE CLASS ACTION WAIVER SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS IS DEEMED INAPPLICABLE OR INVALID, THEN YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN OR HAVING JURISDICTION OVER BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND AND YOU HEREBY CONSENT AND WAIVE ALL OBJECTIONS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. However, you further agree that we retain the right to bring legal proceedings in any jurisdiction where we believe that infringement of these Terms is taking place or originating.
15. Miscellaneous and Additional Terms
A. Changes to the Terms: We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and at any time, to change or add to the terms of these Terms. If we make a material change, we will provide appropriate notice to you. Your use of the Services after the changes take effect (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement and consent to the updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these Terms before using the Services.
B. Entire Understanding: These Terms (together with our Privacy Policy, which is expressly incorporated herein, and any Additional Terms) contain the entire understanding between you and us with respect to use of the Services and no representation, statement, inducement oral or written, not contained herein shall bind any party to this agreement.

This agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the successors, representatives and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.
D. Severability And Non-Waiver: Failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision, and a waiver by us of any right under these Terms on any occasion will not in any way constitute a waiver of such right or any other right on any other occasion. In the event any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, such invalidity will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of these Terms, and the parties will substitute for the invalid provision a provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.
E.Law & Jurisdiction: These Terms shall be subject to, governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Maryland in the United States of America, without regard to conflict of law principles. Your access to, or use of, the Services or information, materials, products and/or services through the Services may be prohibited by law in certain countries or jurisdictions.
