This provision requires individual arbitration for all covered disputes, precluding class or representative actions. The delegation of arbitrability questions to the arbitrator, rather than a court, limits judicial review at the threshold stage of any dispute.
Under this clause, US users and other non-EEA/UK users must pursue any claims against Pinterest individually through AAA arbitration rather than through court proceedings or class actions. EEA, Switzerland, and UK consumers are expressly excluded from this requirement by the agreement.

"If we haven't been able to resolve the dispute through the mandatory processes above, you and we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service through binding arbitration or, for qualifying claims, in small claims court. By accepting these Terms, you agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section, and that you and Pinterest are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. The arbitrator also has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement, including any dispute regarding arbitrability. All disputes must be brought in the party's individual capacity, and not as a member in any class or representative proceeding. You agree that, by entering into these Terms, you are waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.Excerpt from Pinterest's Terms of Service
