Any Claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the AAA in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, which are available at the AAA website https://www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any Court of Competent Jurisdiction. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be Charlotte, North Carolina. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of North Carolina. Hearings will take place pursuant to the standard procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules that contemplate in-person hearings. The prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of reasonable attorney fees. The award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a reasoned opinion. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties.

23.3.    No Joinder of Claims. You and Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to each Claim individually. You and Company agree that each may only bring claims against the other in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable by a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, the Claim will still be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration upon the election of either party. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. No arbitration shall be joined with any other arbitration. There is no right for any Claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to employ class action procedures. There is no right of authority for any Claim to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of either the general public or any other individuals.

23.4.    Judicial Remedies in Aid of Arbitration or Equitable Relief. As exceptions to Section 23.2  (Binding Arbitration), any party may seek, in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, provisional remedies in aid of arbitration (including orders to stay a court action, to compel arbitration, or to confirm an arbitral award) or equitable relief (including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim or conservatory relief).

23.5.    Frivolous Claims. If the arbitrator or a Court of Competent Jurisdiction finds that the substance of a Claim or the relief sought is frivolous, or that a Claim is brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards of Rule 11(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and relate case law), then the party bringing that Claim shall pay all arbitrator fees, attorneys’ fees, and costs related to that Claim.
