1. Waiver of Class Actions and Jury Trials. Please read this section carefully as it affects rights that you may otherwise have. You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.
