YOU AND SECRET OF MEDUSA ALSO AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER IN ARBITRATION ONLY IN YOUR OR SECRET OF MEDUSA'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND IN SO DOING YOU AND SECRET OF MEDUSA HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION ARBITRATION, TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LAWSUIT OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ARBITRATION, AND TO ASSERT OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED LAWSUIT OR JOINT OR CONSOLIDATED ARBITRATION OF ANY KIND.

Either party may initiate arbitration, which shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") pursuant to its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplemental Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes in effect on the date the arbitration is filed ("AAA Rules"), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA's website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. Any arbitration hearing that you attend will be held at a place chosen by the AAA in the same city as the U.S. District Court closest to your then current billing address, or at some other place to which you and Secret of Medusa agree in writing. A single, neutral arbitrator will resolve Claims. The arbitrator will be either a lawyer with at least ten (10) years experience or a retired or former judge, selected in accordance with the AAA rules. Those procedures and rules may limit the discovery available to you or us. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect your customer account information and other confidential information if requested to do so by you or us. The payment of administrative and arbitrator's fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. Unless your claim is valued at more than $75,000, Secret of Medusa waives the right to recover an award of attorney's fees and expenses against you. The arbitrator's award is final and binding on the parties. Any Claim you have must be commenced within one (1) year after the Claim arises.

The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

Modification. These Terms of Use are subject to revision by Secret of Medusa. If we deem any of the revisions to be material changes, we will notify you in advance by sending you an email to the last e-mail address you provided to us and by posting notice of the changes to our websites and mobile applications. Any changes will be effective upon the earlier of the date specified in such notice or that posting of notice of changes, provided that the changes will not apply to your use of the Services prior to the effective date of the changes. If you do not accept the changes, you should terminate your member relationship with Secret of Medusa before the effective date of the changes. If any change is found invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, that change is severable and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining changes or conditions. You should check for any new notices of changes regularly and stay informed of the Terms of Use. Your continued use of the Services after any change, regardless of whether a change was received by you directly, indicates your acceptance and agreement to any such change.
