15. Arbitration
Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by individual arbitration in Clark County, Nevada before a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Any appeal shall be heard and decided by a panel of three neutral arbitrators. All arbitrators shall be retired judges or justices of any Nevada state or federal court, and shall in their substantive rulings (as opposed to procedural or discovery-related rulings that are otherwise governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures), apply the laws of the State of Nevada without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rules that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Nevada. The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be binding and final on all parties. The arbitrator(s) shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. If the arbitrator(s) determine a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the arbitrator(s) may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration. Judgment on the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrators may not award any punitive, incidental, indirect, special, or consequential damages, including, but not limited to, damages for lost profits.
Any dispute resolution proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including arbitration, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action on behalf of others. There is no right for any dispute here under to be brought or heard as a class arbitration, class action, or private attorney general action or for the consolidation of arbitrations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, and without waiving any party’s right to appeal, if this waiver of class action is held invalid or unenforceable, then the entire Arbitration clause in Section 15 (with the exception of this sentence) shall not apply.
