any provision of this section or any other provision of these Terms of Service, except

protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral
tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal’s determination of the merits of the

individual basis and not in any class action, mass action, or on a consolidated or representative basis.
You further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief or to combine or aggregate similar claims or unrelated transactions. You acknowledge and agree that this agreement
specifically prohibits you from commencing arbitration proceedings as a representative of others. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, each party waives any right to a jury trial. Any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void, or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
