This provision requires that disputes proceed through individual arbitration rather than court litigation, and prohibits users from participating in class or collective proceedings.

Interpretive note: The enforceability of the class action waiver and private attorney general waiver varies by jurisdiction, particularly in California and EU member states, and may be constrained by applicable law independent of the document's assertions.
The agreement requires that all disputes be resolved through individual binding arbitration, and the class action waiver in Section 16.3 applies concurrently.
