NOTE: Please read this section carefully as it affects your rights and the resolution of disputes.
-
Any dispute or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with these TOU shall be finally resolved by arbitration under the Arbitration Rules of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced (http://www.adric.ca). Such arbitration will be administered by the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. The seat of arbitration will be in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, unless the arbitrator determines that justice or fairness requires otherwise. The language of the arbitration will be in English. The parties will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding except as may be necessary to enforce any award or to comply with Law. If the amount of the claim is CA$10,000.00 or less, the arbitration shall be conducted under the simplified procedure rule of the ADR Institute of Canada, Inc. Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim and, as such, will not affect issues or claims involving any person or entity who is not a party to the arbitration. Any decision rendered in any arbitration proceeding shall be final and binding on each of the parties to the arbitration and judgement may be entered thereon in any court of competent jurisdiction.
-
Class Action Waiver. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all disputes arising out of or in connection with these TOU shall be resolved on an individual basis without resort to any form of class action and shall not be consolidated with the claims of any other parties.
