General Terms

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts without regard to or application of its conflict of law provisions or your state or country of residence.

For any claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) under this Agreement where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. The party electing such arbitration shall initiate the arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution ("ADR") provider mutually agreed upon by the parties.
