This provision establishes the procedural framework for dispute resolution by channeling all claims into individual arbitration proceedings, which operates as the exclusive mechanism for addressing disagreements between the parties regarding the agreement or service provision.
Users are bound to pursue disputes through individual binding arbitration, meaning any disagreement with OpenAI regarding the Terms or Services must follow arbitration procedures rather than court proceedings. Users waive participation in class action, representative, or consolidated legal proceedings.
