  15. ARBITRATION
    PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. ARBITRATION REPLACES THE RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO A JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEEDING.  IN ARBITRATION, A DISPUTE IS RESOLVED BY AN ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF A JUDGE OR JURY.

    BY VISITING, USING, AND/OR CONTINUING TO VISIT OR USE ANY PART OF THE PLATFORM, BY PROVIDING ANY INFORMATION TO US, AND/OR BY INITIATING OR COMPLETING ANY TRANSACTION ON OR THROUGH THE PLATFORM, YOU, ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF, YOUR PARENT, PRINCIPAL, SUBSIDIARY AND AFFILIATED ENTITIES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, AND AGENTS, AND YOUR HEIRS, EXECUTORS, REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND RCP ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR VISIT TO AND/OR USE OF ANY PART OF THE SITE, THE PRIVACY POLICY OR THIS AGREEMENT,  INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE INTERPRETATION OR CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY, A “DISPUTE”) WILL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”). THE ARBITRATION, INCLUDING THE SELECTION OF THE ARBITRATOR, WILL BE PURSUANT TO THE AAA’S COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (THE “RULES”) BY A SINGLE NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AGREED ON BY THE PARTIES WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE ARBITRATION OR, WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS THEREAFTER, APPOINTED BY THE AAA ADMINISTRATOR.

    NOTWITHSTANDING ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR OTHER PROVISION IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS AGREEMENT EVIDENCES A TRANSACTION INVOLVING INTERSTATE COMMERCE AND THAT THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, 9 U.S.C. § 1 ET SEQ. (“FAA”) GOVERNS ITS INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT AND PROCEEDINGS PURSUANT THERETO. IT IS THE INTENT OF THE PARTIES THAT THE FAA AND RULES SHALL PREEMPT ALL STATE LAWS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. IF THE FAA AND RULES ARE FOUND TO NOT APPLY TO ANY ISSUE THAT ARISES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT THEREOF, THEN THAT ISSUE SHALL BE RESOLVED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

    EITHER PARTY MAY INITIATE THE ARBITRATION PROCESS BY FILING THE NECESSARY FORMS WITH AAA. TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ARBITRATION, YOU CAN CALL ANY AAA OFFICE OR REVIEW THE MATERIALS AT WWW.ADR.ORG. THE ARBITRATION SHALL BE HELD IN SUFFOLK COUNTY, MASSACHUSETTS. THE PARTIES WILL EXCHANGE NON-PRIVILEGED INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE DISPUTE BEING ARBITRATED.  YOU MAY BE REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL OF YOUR CHOICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE ARBITRATION, AT YOUR COST.

    THE PARTY THAT INITIATES THE ARBITRATION WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY THE FILING FEE. EACH PARTY SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ONE-HALF OF THE ARBITRATION FEES. EACH PARTY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR RESPECTIVE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND COSTS. THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY ARBITRATION BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ITS ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS FROM THE NON-PREVAILING PARTY.

    DISPUTES MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE NAME OF AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON OR ENTITY AND MUST PROCEED ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS.  THE ARBITRATOR WILL NOT AWARD RELIEF FOR OR AGAINST ANYONE WHO IS NOT A PARTY. IF EITHER PARTY ARBITRATES A DISPUTE, NEITHER PARTY, NOR ANY OTHER PERSON, MAY PURSUE THE DISPUTE IN ARBITRATION AS A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, NOR MAY ANY SUCH DISPUTE BE PURSUED ON BEHALF OF EITHER PARTY IN ANY LITIGATION IN ANY COURT. CLAIMS REGARDING ANY DISPUTE AND REMEDIES SOUGHT AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION ARE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS, AND THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL (NON-CLASS, NON-REPRESENTATIVE) BASIS. THIS MEANS THAT THE ARBITRATION MAY NOT ADDRESS DISPUTES INVOLVING OTHER PERSONS WITH DISPUTES SIMILAR TO THE DISPUTES BETWEEN YOU AND US.

    THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO AWARD ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE REMEDY OR RELIEF THAT A COURT COULD ORDER OR GRANT UNDER THIS PRIVACY POLICY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS AND SUBJECT TO THIS AGREEMENT. THE ARBITRATOR, HOWEVER, IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO CHANGE OR ALTER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TO MAKE ANY AWARD THAT WOULD EXTEND TO ANY TRANSACTION OTHER THAN THAT CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. ALL STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO ANY DISPUTE SHALL APPLY TO ANY ARBITRATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO. THE ARBITRATOR WILL ISSUE A DECISION OR AWARD IN WRITING, BRIEFLY STATING THE ESSENTIAL FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW.

    BECAUSE THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE AGREED TO ARBITRATE ALL DISPUTES NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT DISPUTE IN COURT, OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT DISPUTE, OR ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE RULES.   FURTHER, YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF ANY CLASS PERTAINING TO ANY DISPUTE. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES AND MAY BE ENTERED AND ENFORCED IN ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IT IS SUBJECT TO REVIEW IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAW GOVERNING ARBITRATION AWARDS.   OTHER RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE IN COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

  16. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury of any arbitrable claim under this Agreement and in connection with the enforcement of an arbitral award rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Each party (i) certifies that no representatives, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party hereto have been induced to consent to this Agreement.

  17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect.

  18. Waiver. The failure of RCP to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver of this Agreement RCP must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of RCP.

  19. Modification and Termination of the Website. RCP reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the website or any service provided by the website (or any part thereof) with or without notice.
