-
No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you and SeaVees agree that any Dispute is personal to you and SeaVees and that any Dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

-
Process. You and SeaVees agree that any Dispute or small claims dispute must be commenced or filed by you or SeaVees within one (1) year of the date the Dispute or small claims dispute arose, otherwise the underlying claim is permanently barred (which means that you and SeaVees will no longer have the right to assert such claim regarding the Dispute or small claims dispute).

You may also litigate a small claims dispute in the small claims court located in the county of your billing address if the small claims dispute meets the requirements to be heard in that small claims court.
-
Authority of Arbitrator. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the AAA Rules referenced above, the arbitrator will have (a) the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding a Dispute, including the determination of the scope of this arbitration agreement and whether a Dispute is arbitrable, and (b) the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Section 15. To the extent there are any conflicts between the AAA Rules and these Terms, the Terms will control.
-
Severability. If any term, clause or provision of this Section 15 is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be so held to the minimum extent required by law, and all other terms, clauses and provisions of this Section 15 will remain valid and enforceable.

-
