      9. Dispute Resolution. THIS SECTION 2.13.9 APPLIES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND IS VOID WHERE PROHIBITED BY LAW. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of the Agreement.
        1. Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of a Claim, you and Alliance agree to first attempt to negotiate any Claim (except those Claims expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address shall be any address you have proved to Alliance, including an email address. If necessary, to preserve a Claim under any applicable statute of limitations, you or Alliance may initiate arbitration while engaging in the informal negotiations.
        2. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver**. Subject to Section 2.13.9.3, you Alliance agree that any Claim between you and Alliance will be resolved solely by binding, individual arbitration and not in a class, representative or consolidated action or proceeding. This Section 2.13.9 is governed, in all respects, both procedurally and substantively, by the American Arbitration Association. You and Alliance agree that you are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. 

YOU AND Alliance AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. 

SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD TO CLAIMS COVERED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

If any other provision of this Section 2.13.9 requiring that Claims be brought only on an individual basis and not on a class, collective, or representative basis, is determined to be invalid or unenforceable with respect to any particular Claim, then that Claim shall not proceed in arbitration but rather will be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction subject to Section 2.13.8. If that happens, however, the arbitration provisions in this Section 2.13.9 will still be fully enforceable as to all other Claims, which must be resolved in arbitration on an individual basis. Any arbitrable Claims will be resolved before non-arbitrable Claims, which the parties will jointly request to be stayed pending the conclusion of arbitration.

        1. Exceptions Nothing in this Section 2.13.9 precludes any party from filing or participating in administrative proceedings before state, provincial/territorial, or federal agencies to address alleged violations of law enforced by those agencies. Further, to the extent a party would have to file a timely administrative charge or complaint as a prerequisite to filing a Claim in court, the party must do the same before submitting a Claim to arbitration under this Agreement. Upon receipt of a right-to-sue letter or similar administrative determination, however, the Claim can only be resolved in individual arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

This Section 2.13.9 also does not prevent any party from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for any interim or provisional relief available under the law that is necessary to protect the rights of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal. This Section 2.13.9 further does not prevent any party from filing any Claim that otherwise qualifies in small claims court on an individual basis.

        1. Equitable Remedies. Except for individual Claims brought in small claims court, the arbitrator shall determine all issues of liability on the merits of any Claim asserted by you or Alliance, and may award declaratory or injunctive 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. To the extent that you or Alliance prevail on a Claim in arbitration and seek injunctive relief that has the primary purpose and effect of prohibiting unlawful acts that threaten future injury to the general public, the entitlement and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, subject to Section 2.13.8 and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief shall be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual Claims in arbitration.
        2. Rules and Logistics Governing Arbitration. The arbitration will be conducted by the AAA under its AAA Rules then in effect, except as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. A party who wishes to start arbitration must submit a written Demand for Arbitration to AAA and give notice to the other party as specified in the AAA Rules. The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration at www.adr.org.

If your claim is for U.S. $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic or video-conference hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. If your claim exceeds U.S. $10,000, the right to a hearing will be determined by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place in the county (or parish) where you live, unless we both agree to a different location. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to decide all issues relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability and scope of this arbitration agreement.

        1. Arbitration Costs. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. 
        2. Delivery of Demand for Arbitration. A demand for arbitration must be in writing and delivered by hand or first-class mail to the other party within the applicable statute of limitations period. Any demand for arbitration shall be provided to Alliance pursuant to Section 2.13.2. Any demand for arbitration made by Alliance shall be provided to the last address on file with Alliance. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes regarding the timeliness or propriety of the demand for arbitration.
        3. Effect of Changes on Arbitration. Notwithstanding Section 2.13.3 above, if we change any of the terms of this Section 2.13.9 after the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice (including by email to [email protected] within thirty (30) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Last Updated" date above or in the date of our email to you notifying you of such change. By rejecting any change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any Claim between you and Alliance in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.13.9 as of the date you first accepted these Terms (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Terms).
