The arbitration requirement operates as a mandatory procedural mechanism that channels dispute resolution through arbitration proceedings governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, rather than through judicial courts. This affects how legal disputes are adjudicated and the procedural framework available to parties.
Users are required to pursue disputes through binding arbitration rather than filing lawsuits in court, with limited exceptions for intellectual property claims and small claims. The terms apply this requirement to all disputes arising from any aspect of the relationship, regardless of when the dispute originates.
