The arbitration requirement establishes a procedural framework for dispute resolution that substitutes the arbitration process for traditional litigation channels. The class action waiver and jury trial waiver restrict the procedural mechanisms available to users for advancing claims, concentrating disputes into individual arbitration proceedings rather than aggregated legal proceedings.
Users accept the obligation to arbitrate disputes individually rather than pursue litigation in court or participate in class actions. The terms authorize Vercel to require arbitration as the exclusive dispute resolution mechanism while preserving specific carve-outs for small claims court and intellectual property injunctive relief.
