Arbitration:
By accessing this web site and using the information therein available and/or by purchasing any products or services made available through this site, you agree with MBA OF NENY, its service providers, their affiliates, parents, subsidiaries and any other content provider or offeror of goods or services on this site or through any other associated activity, that any claim or dispute ("Claim"), you may have against or with any of these persons or entities, whether related to the purchase or to the Content, including the enforceability of this arbitration clause, and whether under a statute, in contract, tort, or otherwise and whether for money damages, or declaratory or equitable relief, shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitration hearing at which you appear will take place within the State of New York, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to make any award that provides for punitive or exemplary damages. Each party shall bear its own costs in connection with any arbitration proceedings. The parties shall equally share the fees of the arbitration and the arbitrator. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 ("FAA"). The arbitrator shall follow existing substantive law of the District of Columbia, without regard to its choice or conflict of laws provisions, to the extent consistent with the FAA, and applicable statutes of limitations and shall honor any claims or privilege recognized by law. If any party requests, the arbitrator shall write an opinion containing the reasons for the award. NO CLAIM SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION IS HEARD BY A JURY, AND NO CLAIM MAY BE BROUGHT AS A CLASS ACTION OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL. You do not have the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any Claim. This Arbitration Section applies to all Claims now in existence or that may arise and shall survive the termination of any dealings with us.
For the purposes of this Arbitration Section, "we" and "us" means MBA OF NENY, its parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, licensees or sublicensees, predecessors, successors, assigns and all of their officers, directors, employees, agents and assigns or any and all of them. Additionally, "we" or "us" shall mean any third party providing benefits, services, or products in connection with this web site and all of their officers, directors, employees and agents if, and only if, such a third party is named by you as a co-defendant in any Claim you assert against us.
If any part of this Arbitration Section is found to be invalid or unenforceable under any law or statute consistent with the FAA, the remainder of this Arbitration Section shall be enforceable without regard to such invalidity or unenforceability.
THE RESULT OF THIS ARBITRATION SECTION IS THAT CLAIMS CANNOT BE LITIGATED IN COURT, INCLUDING SOME CLAIMS THAT COULD HAVE BEEN TRIED BEFORE A JURY, AS CLASS ACTIONS OR AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTIONS.
