Accuracy of Information
We expect Members to submit and maintain accurate and current information in connection with their Membership. Such information includes, without limitation, name, address, email address and phone number.

The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowProperty?nodeId=/UCM/ADRSTAGE2021425&revision=latestreleased.

The Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures are available online at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. If both the AAA and JAMS are unable or decline to administer the arbitration, a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint the arbitrator. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances, or as otherwise required by the AAA or JAMS, as applicable. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or JAMS, as applicable, or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator's decision will follow these Terms and Conditions and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms and Conditions, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms and Conditions will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, provincial, territorial or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
