Governing Law and Submission to Arbitration

The laws of the State of Illinois will govern these Terms of Use, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws. You agree that any action arising out of the Terms of Use or your use of the Service shall be submitted to and resolved only by binding arbitration instead of litigation. Both parties agree to share equally in the entire cost of conducting the arbitration, including the fees of the Arbitrator.

The parties agree that a party will bring all claims in its individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. Neither party will be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration. The arbitration shall be held only in Cook County, Illinois. Except as expressly provided herein, the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with applicable rules and procedures established by the American Arbitration Association. One arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitrator”). The prevailing party shall not be entitled to recover its costs/expenses or attorneys’ fees; provided that if a party fails to submit to arbitration in accordance with this Section and the claim is ultimately found to be arbitrable hereunder, the party that failed to submit shall be responsible for paying the other party’s costs/expenses and attorneys’ fees. Any result reached by the Arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties to the arbitration, and no appeal may be taken. Any party to any award rendered in such arbitration proceeding may seek a judgment upon the award and that judgment may be entered thereupon by any court having jurisdiction.
