c. General Provisions.
This Agreement embodies the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties respecting the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings and agreements between the parties respecting such subject matter, except that if You or Your company have executed a separate written agreement or You have signed an order form referencing a separate agreement governing Your use of the Services, then such agreement shall control to the extent that any provision of this Agreement conflicts with the terms of such agreement.

Exhibit A
Binding Arbitration
This Exhibit A to the TOS describes the further provisions which apply to the Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.
1. Disputes
A dispute is any controversy between You and the Website concerning the Services, any software related to the Services, or any term of this Agreement, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of Your or the Website’s intellectual property rights
As part of the best-efforts process to resolve disputes, and before initiating arbitration proceedings, each party agrees to provide notice of the dispute to the other party, including a description of the conflict, what efforts have been made to resolve it, and what the disputing party is requesting as resolution, to howdiditgo1@gmail.com.
2. Small Claims Court Available
You may initiate an action in Your local Small Claims Court if You meet the court’s requirements. However, if such a claim is transferred, removed, or appealed to a different court, the Website reserves the right to require arbitration.
3. Arbitration Procedure
Disputes not resolved under Section 1 or 2 shall be resolved through arbitration. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. For more information, see adr.org. Arbitration hearings will occur in Suffolk County, Massachusetts. A single arbitrator will be appointed. The arbitrator must: (a) follow all applicable substantive law; (b) follow applicable statutes of limitations; (c) honor valid claims of privilege; (d) issue a written decision including the reasons for the award. The arbitrator may award damages, declaratory or injunctive relief, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees). Any arbitration award may be enforced (such as through a judgment) in any court with jurisdiction. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on their authority, including the arbitrability of any claim; however, a court has exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity.
4. Arbitration Fees
The AAA Rules will govern the payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
5. Conflict with AAA Rules
This Agreement governs if there is a conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.
6. The Requirement to File Within One Year
Notwithstanding any other statute of limitations, a claim or dispute under this Agreement must be filed in Small Claims Court or noticed for arbitration within one year of when it could first be filed, or such lawsuit will be permanently barred.
7. Severability
If the class action waiver is illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts will not be arbitrated but will be resolved in court, with the balance resolved through arbitration. If any provision of this Exhibit A is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed; however, the remaining provisions shall still apply and shall be interpreted to as nearly as possible to achieve the original intent of this Exhibit, inclusive of the severed provision.
