This clause establishes the procedural mechanism for dispute resolution and specifies that arbitration will be the exclusive forum for resolving claims. It operates to channel disputes away from court systems and into a private arbitration process governed by AAA rules, with a defined seat of arbitration and language requirement.
Users operating under these terms are bound to resolve disputes through individual arbitration rather than pursuing claims in court or participating in class action proceedings. The arbitration process must occur in New York City under English-language proceedings and AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, with a single arbitrator making a final binding determination.
