Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party.

Any arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.

The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of arbitration.
Parties to the arbitration shall each pay an equal share of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, including but not limited to JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, except as prohibited by law. Each party shall separately pay for such party’s attorneys’ fees and costs.
Exception for Equitable Relief.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST TAPTAB ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
19. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
