Any issue, question, dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or our Terms of Sale or any provision thereof, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of your agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in New York, New York, before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”).

Judgment on an award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This dispute resolution provision shall include urgent or emergency arbitration relief and not preclude any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of such urgent or emergency arbitration relief from an arbitrator in accordance herewith.
(c) Effects of Mandatory Arbitration.
You understand, acknowledge and agree that by agreeing to arbitrate in the manner required above in sub-paragraph (b), you are waiving any right you may have to bring before a court (for other than injunctive relief as provided below), any claim that you may have arising out of, or for any violation of, any federal, state, local or other law, regulation or ordinance, or any other rights protected or arising under any law, rule or regulation. Nevertheless, you agree to waive all such rights you may have and agree to submit all disputes to binding arbitration in accordance with the terms hereof.
(d) Waiver of Class Action. All arbitrations under these Terms of Use or our Terms of Sale must be on an individual basis.

To the extent that a dispute arises as to this waiver, only a court, and not an arbitrator, shall determine the validity and effect of this class action waiver.
