The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this agreement is void or voidable.

This arbitration provision applies to all Disputes, whether arising before, on, or after the date you first accepted these Terms, including Disputes based on conduct, acts, or omissions that occurred prior to your acceptance. By accepting these Terms, you agree to arbitrate all such past, present, and future Disputes on an individual basis.

If you initiate arbitration, you will be responsible for paying the AAA's consumer filing fee (currently $225 for claims under $75,000). If the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, the arbitrator may reallocate fees as permitted by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules and applicable law.
