  12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
    1. Alternative Dispute Resolution. All disputes (the "Dispute") arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the furnishing of Work hereunder shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration, conducted in accordance with the Commercial Rules of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association (the "Rules") which are deemed to be incorporated by reference. The tribunal shall be composed of one (1) neutral arbitrator if the Dispute involves a maximum exposure of less than $1,000,000. If the Parties are unable to agree on a neutral arbitrator, one will be appointed pursuant to the Rules. If the Dispute involves a maximum exposure in excess of $1,000,000, then the Tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, with each Party appointing one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so appointed appointing the third arbitrator who shall act as Chair (the "Tribunal"). The place of arbitration shall be Shoreline, Washington, and the proceedings shall be conducted and concluded as soon as reasonably practicable, based upon the schedule established by the Tribunal, which the Tribunal may modify for good cause shown. No award shall be made for punitive, special, exemplary, or consequential damages or losses, including loss of profits or loss of business opportunity. Judgment on the award may be entered in, and enforced by, any court of competent jurisdiction. All statutes of limitation that would otherwise be applicable shall apply to the Dispute. Any attorney-User and/or Purchaser privilege and other protection against disclosure of privileged or confidential information, including without limitation, any protection afforded the work-product of any attorney, that could otherwise be claimed by any Party shall be available to, and may be claimed by, any such Party in any arbitration proceeding. The Parties shall treat all matters relating to the arbitration as confidential. Subject to each Party's right to cooperate fully with the United States' authorities, the Parties understand and agree that this confidentiality obligation extends to information concerning the fact of any request for arbitration, and any ongoing arbitration, as well as all matters discussed, discovered, or divulged, (whether voluntarily or by compulsion) during the course of such arbitration proceeding. It is the desire of the Parties that any Dispute is resolved efficiently and fairly and the Tribunal shall act in a manner consistent with these intentions.
    2. Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver. This arbitration provision affects your ability to participate in class, collective or representative actions. Both you and BackShield agree to bring any dispute in arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, collective, or representative basis on behalf of others. There will be no right or authority for any dispute to be brought, heard or arbitrated as a class, collective, representative or private attorney general action, or as a member in any such class, collective, representative or private attorney general proceeding ("Class Action Waiver"). The Class Action Waiver does not prevent you from bringing a Claim in arbitration as a private attorney general solely on your own behalf and not on behalf of others. Notwithstanding any other portion of this Arbitration Provision or the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have authority to hear any Claim on a class, collective, or representative basis if, only if, and only to the extent that, the arbitrator determines that the waiver of such class, collective, or representative Claim is unenforceable. You and BackShield agree that you will not be retaliated against, disciplined or threatened with discipline as a result of exercising any rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act by filing or participating in a class, collective or representative action in any forum. However, BackShield may lawfully seek enforcement of this arbitration provision and the Class Action Waiver under the Federal Arbitration Act and seek dismissal of such class, collective or representative actions or claims.
    You may opt out of the foregoing arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provision of this Agreement by notifying BackShield in writing within 30 days of the date you first registered for the Site, stating: (a) your account username, (b) your name, (c) your address, (d) your telephone number, (e) your email address, and (f) a clear statement indicating that you do not wish to resolve claims through arbitration and demonstrating compliance with the 30-day time limit to opt out of the above arbitration and class action/jury trial waiver provisions.

    3. Enforcement and Waiver.

If necessary, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to delete the unenforceable provision or portion thereof, in which event such invalidity, voidness, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof and this Agreement shall remain unaffected and shall be construed as if such invalid, void, illegal or unenforceable provision never had been contained herein. The Parties agree and acknowledge that this Agreement has been jointly drafted and negotiated by both Parties and thus that no provision shall be construed against a Party on grounds that it drafted, proposed or revised such provision (or any other proposed or final provision for this Agreement).
    7. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be considered in breach of an obligation under the Terms, other than obligations to pay money, to the extent the party can demonstrate that fulfillment of the obligation has been prevented by a force majeure event. "Force majeure" shall include, but not be limited to, acts of God, laws and regulations, strikes, lightening, fire, flood, washout, storm, war (declared or undeclared), acts or threats of terrorism, breakage or accident to equipment or machinery, and any other causes that are not reasonably within the control of the party affected.
