The arbitration requirement establishes a procedural framework in which dispute resolution occurs outside the judicial system, with an arbitrator making binding determinations. The class action waiver eliminates the procedural mechanism through which multiple similarly-situated claimants could aggregate claims, requiring instead that claims proceed on an individual basis.

The terms specify that only injunctive relief for intellectual property violations may be sought in court.
