(b) Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Incantio agree that any and all claims and disputes arising between you and us pursuant to this Agreement and your use of the Site or the Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration.

The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern this agreement to arbitrate.
(i) Class and Representative Actions Prohibited. You and Incantio agree that each of us (or any other Related Party) may bring claims and disputes against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative action or proceeding. Unless both you and Incantio agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's or entity's claims or disputes or preside over a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual bringing the action and any relief awarded may not affect other Users.
(ii) Arbitration Procedures. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its rules and procedures, including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable) as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org. The AAA's rules shall govern the number of arbitrators assigned to conduct the arbitration. The party intending to seek arbitration shall send to the other, by certified mail, notice of the dispute. Such notice should be sent to Incantio, Inc., 9030 35th Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98126, United States, Attn: Legal. Incantio shall send any notice to you at the email address on file associated with your Account. If you and Incantio are unable to resolve any of the claims or disputes described in such notice within 30 days after such notice is received, either party may initiate arbitration proceedings. The form for initiating arbitration is available at www.adr.org, and the party initiating arbitration must both file this form with the AAA and mail a copy of the completed form to the other party at the same addresses as set forth earlier in this paragraph. Any settlement offer made by you or Incantio shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator. The arbitration hearing shall be held in a mutually agreed location. The arbitrator's award shall be consistent with this Agreement and final and binding, and judgment shall be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees shall be governed by AAA's rules.
(iii) Invalidity. With the exception of Section 15(b)(i) above ("Class and Representative Actions Prohibited"), if an arbitrator or court decides that any portion of this Section 15 is invalid or unenforceable, all other portions of this Section 15 shall continue to apply. If an arbitrator or court decides that Section 15(b)(i) is invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15(b) and its subparts shall be null and void, but the rest of this Section 15 shall continue to apply.
(iv) Opt-Out Procedure. If you are a new User, you can opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by mailing a written opt-out notice postmarked no later than 30 days after the date you accept the terms of this Agreement for the first time.

(v) Amendments to Agreement to Arbitrate. You and Incantio agree that if Incantio amends this agreement to arbitrate in the future, the amendment shall not apply to a claim or dispute filed by either party prior to the effective date of the amendment.
(c) If the agreement to arbitrate does not apply to you, either because you opt-out or as a result of a decision by an arbitrator or court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen between you and Incantio will be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Seattle, WA. You and Incantio agree to submit to personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Seattle, WA for purposes hereof.
