8. Dispute Resolution.
   1. Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes. INSTEAD OF SUING IN COURT, YOU AND WE EACH AGREE TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES ON A BILATERAL (INDIVIDUAL) BASIS. Any and all disputes, controversies, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action between you and us and/or Covered Parties (including, but not limited to, disputes related in any way to the interpretation and scope of this clause, these Program Terms and Privacy Policy, your use of the Site and Program, and the arbitrability of the dispute) must exclusively be settled through individual, binding and confidential arbitration. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY IN ARBITRATION, PROCEDURES FOR ARBITRATION ARE SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT, AND REVIEW BY A COURT IS LIMITED. Arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) before one commercial arbitrator. The conduct of the arbitration will be subject to AAA's then-current rules and procedures for consumer arbitration (currently titled “Consumer Arbitration Rules”) (collectively, Rules and Procedures). YOU SPECIFICALLY AGREE THAT YOU ARE BOUND TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES IN ARBITRATION, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by AAA's fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case we will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. We also reserve the right, in our sole and exclusive discretion, to assume responsibility for all arbitration costs imposed by AAA. Each party agrees to pay its own attorneys' fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision or remedy under the governing law that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys' fees and expenses. Information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to start arbitration can be found at http://www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the dispute arises from a violation of your or our intellectual property rights in any manner, both parties agree that the non-infringing party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court consistent with the subsections below, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Additionally, you or we may take the dispute to small claims court if the dispute qualifies for small claims court.

   2. Waiver of Class Arbitration. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, all disputes must be resolved by binding confidential arbitration on an individual basis. You expressly agree that no other disputes will be consolidated or joined with your dispute, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You further acknowledge and agree any arbitrator assigned to a dispute will not and will lack the authority to conduct class arbitration or award class-wide relief and that such arbitrator will only hear your individual dispute. You acknowledge you are voluntarily and knowingly waiving any right to participate as a representative of any class of claimants pertaining to any dispute subject to arbitration, such that you will not be entitled to arbitrate any dispute as a representative plaintiff or claimant, class representative, class member, or private attorney general.
   3. Governing Law. These Terms and all disputes between the parties will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Massachusetts, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Massachusetts between Massachusetts residents, without regard to any conflict-of-law provisions. Further, in any arbitration, both parties agree the arbitrator will honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized under Massachusetts law.
   4. Enforcement of Arbitration Award.  The arbitrator's award will be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
   5. Opt Out. If you do not choose to accept this binding arbitration provision, you must notify us within twenty (20) days after receipt of these Program Terms in writing and by registered mail at: ARBITRATION OPT-OUT, In the Company of Dogs Rewards P.O. Box 3335, Chelmsford, MA 01824-0935. If you notify us that you do not accept the arbitration provision of these Program Terms by that time, you may continue to be a Member for your current Membership term unless your Membership is otherwise terminated hereunder. If your Membership is continued, we have the right not to renew your Membership at the end of the twelfth (12^th) month anniversary date.
   6. Severability. If any portion of this Dispute Resolution section (with the exception of the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection) is deemed invalid or unenforceable by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, the invalid or unenforceable portion will be severed and removed from the Terms, and the remaining portions (including the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection) will remain binding on you and us. If any arbitrator deems the Waiver of Class Arbitration subsection to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes subsection will be null and void. Under such circumstances, you expressly acknowledge and agree that the Governing Law and Jurisdiction subsections apply to any disputes between you and us, and both parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts.
   7. Jurisdiction. If, in any dispute, this subsection is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, notwithstanding the Severability subsection above, or null and void by any arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, or if the dispute seeks injunctive remedies arising from a violation of your or our intellectual property rights, the dispute must be resolved by the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts or a state court located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such Massachusetts state or federal courts for the purposes of litigating any such dispute. This subsection does not apply disputes made in small claims court.
9. Miscellaneous. These Terms and policies incorporated herein are the entire agreement between you and us and supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements between you and us relating to your use of the Site or the Program. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, it will not impact any other provision of these Terms, all of which will remain in full force and effect. Our failure to partially or fully exercise any rights, shall not prevent our subsequent exercise of such right or be deemed a waiver by us of any subsequent breach by you of the same or any other term of these Terms. Our rights and remedies under these Terms and any other applicable agreement between you and us shall be cumulative, and the exercise of any such right or remedy shall not limit our right to exercise any other right or remedy. You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement.
