Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, your access to or use of the Services or the Properties or any relationship between us, including but not limited to the validity, applicability or interpretation of these terms or the privacy policy (any of these, a “Dispute”), including any dispute regarding the scope or enforceability of this arbitration provision, shall be settled exclusively by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The place of arbitration shall be Seattle, Washington before a panel of three arbitrators. Pursuant to the Emergency Rules of Protection of the AAA Rules, either party may apply to the arbitrator(s) seeking injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.

Neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties.

You hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts and waive any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds with respect to any such proceeding.
