ConductAtlas Analysis

By eliminating the arbitrator's authority to conduct class arbitration or consolidate claims, this clause requires each user to pursue disputes individually, removing the collective enforcement mechanism that class actions provide.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Readers must pursue any dispute against Perplexity AI individually; they cannot join their claim with others' claims or benefit from a class-wide arbitration award.
