To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a "Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least 15 days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any Dispute relating to these Terms of Use, use of the App or the Content shall be subject to final and binding arbitration resolved by a single impartial arbitrator pursuant to proceedings administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes.
