Arbitration. Please read this carefully.  It affects your rights.  XXXXXXXXXXXXXX and you (such references include our respective predecessors in interest, successors and assigns) agree to arbitrate all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement between XXXXXXXXXXXXXX and you.  The arbitration shall be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AA”), as modified by this Agreement, and shall be administered by the AA.  All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including the scope of this arbitration clause, but the arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided for herein, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX will pay all AA filing, administration and arbitrator fees.  If, however, the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought is improper or not warranted, as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b), then the payment of all such fees shall be governed by the AA Rules.  In such case, you agree to reimburse XXXXXXXXXXXXXX for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AA Rules.  If the arbitrator grants relief to you that is equal to or greater than the value of your Demand, XXXXXXXXXXXXXX shall reimburse you for your reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred for the arbitration.  You agree that, by entering into this Agreement, you and XXXXXXXXXXXXXX are waiving the right to a trial by jury.

Further, you agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings or more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that if this specific proviso is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration clause shall be null and void. 

Formal Resolution. If we cannot resolve a Claim informally, you and XXXXXXXXXXXXXX each agree to submit to personal jurisdiction in New York and agree that any and all Claims either of us asserts shall be exclusively brought in the appropriate state or federal court in the Southern District of the State of New York, provided that neither you nor XXXXXXXXXXXXXX shall be precluded from filing a Claim in small claims court for disputes within the small claims court jurisdictional level.
