The arbitration requirement establishes a mandatory procedural framework for dispute resolution that supersedes court litigation as the primary mechanism for addressing claims related to the service, except in the enumerated categories where parties may pursue alternative forums.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users must pursue disputes through binding arbitration rather than court litigation, except for small claims proceedings, injunctive relief relating to intellectual property rights, or actual or threatened infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or patents.
