Dispute Resolution

In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or our services, we encourage you to contact us first to seek an informal resolution. Most concerns can be resolved quickly through good-faith discussion. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, any legal action must be brought in the courts of our operating jurisdiction.

Class Action Waiver

You agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. You may not consolidate your claims with those of any other party.
