Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement, this Mutual Arbitration Provision, or the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver and/or Representative Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable shall be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. As stated above, all other disputes regarding interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this Mutual Arbitration Provision shall be determined exclusively by an arbitrator.

The arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in the law underlying the dispute; (2) Unless applicable law provides otherwise, as determined by the Arbitrator, yourspace and You shall equally share filing fees and other similar and usual administrative costs, as are common to both court and administrative proceedings. yourspace shall pay any costs uniquely associated with arbitration, such as payment of the Arbitrator and room rental; (3) The arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third-parties) allowing the Parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each Party to prepare that Party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes; (4) Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver and Representative Action Waiver, the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a Party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration. The arbitrator shall apply the state or federal substantive law, or both, as is applicable; (5) The arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions; (6) The arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law; (7) Either yourspace or You may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration provided in this Section 10 may be rendered ineffectual.

You may only opt out on behalf of Yourself. A written notice submitted to yourspace indicating Your intention to opt out may apply, at most, to You.
Your decision to opt out of this Mutual Arbitration Provision will relieve You only of Your obligation to arbitrate the disputes specified in this Mutual Arbitration Provision, and does not relieve You of any obligation to arbitrate disputes not specified in this Mutual Arbitration Provision that might arise under any yourspace Terms of Service to which You may be bound as a customer.
