Miscellaneous.

All disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms, or any other acts or omissions for which you may contend that we are liable, shall be settled through a binding and final arbitration consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act (to the extent permitted by applicable law). The arbitration shall be before a sole arbitrator in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), adr.org, 1-800-778-7879, and pursuant to the then applicable AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures. You may decide whether to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submission, or in a mutually agreed location.  In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, We will pay as much of your arbitration filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems is necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation, unless the arbitrator finds some or all of your claims to be frivolous.  No award or procedural order made in the arbitration shall be published. The arbitration shall occur in English.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you and We agree that any Dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, collective, or representative action.   To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you further agree that you will not be a member of any putative or actual class in a class action brought by anyone else, nor will you seek to become a class representative.   If any portion of this or the prior paragraph is found to be void or unenforceable as to a particular claim, then that claim (and only that claim) shall be resolved in federal court in Washington DC rather than in arbitration; if there is no federal jurisdiction, the case shall be resolved in Washington DC state court.

The use of any automated system or software to by You, a third-party, or any other individual or entity, to “scrape” or collect information from the Site for commercial, research, or others purposes is strictly prohibited without Our written consent.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms. The Terms will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, and licensees.

If any provision of these Terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

IN THE EVENT YOU HAVE A CAUSE OF ACTION THAT IS NOT OTHERWISE BARRED BY THESE TERMS, YOU AND GLMA AND TSF AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS AND/OR THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES) MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
