When 25 or more similar arbitration demands are filed within 60 days or through the same law firm, Pinterest's terms require AAA to consolidate them into a single batched arbitration with one arbitrator and one set of fees per side per batch.

This provision establishes a mass arbitration management mechanism that consolidates similar claims into batches, which affects the procedural timeline and structure for users who file claims alongside others with similar disputes. Similarity disputes are resolved by a single arbitrator whose fees Pinterest pays.
Interpretive note: The operational effect of the batching mechanism on individual claim timelines and outcomes depends on AAA administrative practices and arbitrator capacity not specified in the document.
Under this clause, users whose arbitration demands are consolidated into a batch proceed through a single arbitration proceeding with other similarly situated claimants rather than through individual arbitration. The batching mechanism applies when 25 or more similar demands are filed within 60 days or through the same law firm.

For each batch, AAA will administer one set of filing and administrative fees per side, per batch, and AAA will appoint one arbitrator to resolve each batch as a single consolidated arbitration. Arbitration demands are similar if they arise from similar facts and raise similar legal issues while seeking similar relief. Any dispute about similarity will be submitted to a single arbitrator, whose fees will be paid by us.Excerpt from Pinterest's Terms of Service
