2. Binding Arbitration Agreement

   Both Parties and each of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, and Representatives agree that any dispute, action, or other controversy ("Dispute") with respect to the Contract shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The Parties acknowledge that these TOS and your use of the Digital Properties evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., shall control any arbitration proceedings commenced under this Section 14.2. Arbitration shall be the exclusive dispute resolution process. You understand that you and Xola are giving up the right to sue in court and to have a trial before a judge or jury.

   Parties agree that any proceedings to resolve or litigate any Dispute will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Parties agree that they shall not bring or participate in any class action, private attorney general action, collective arbitration, or any other proceeding in which either party acts in a representative capacity, even if AAA's procedures or rules would otherwise allow such action. Parties also agree that if this Section 14.3 is found to be unenforceable, then Section 14.2 above and any other provision of the Contract concerning mandatory arbitration shall not apply to any action involving a purported class or representative proceeding, and such actions between Parties shall proceed, if at all, in accordance with Section 14.1 above.
