THIS SECTION CONTAINS A BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY.

You and PilatesBody Studios LLC agree that any and all disputes, claims, or controversies arising out of or relating to:

This Agreement or your use of the Service
The breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of this Agreement
Any aspect of the relationship between you and us

shall be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration rather than in court, except as specified in Section 13.6 (Small Claims Exception).

13.2 Arbitration Procedures

Arbitration Administration: Any arbitration will be administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures in effect at the time the arbitration is commenced.

Arbitration Process:

Arbitration provides a private dispute resolution process that is usually more streamlined and less formal than litigation
Your rights will be determined by a neutral third party called an arbitrator, not a judge or jury
Both parties are entitled to fundamentally fair proceedings at every stage
The arbitrator will decide all issues relating to the dispute, including questions of arbitrability
The arbitrator can grant any relief that a court could grant
Arbitration decisions are enforceable in court and may be overturned only for very limited reasons

13.3 Location of Arbitration

For Consumers: If you are a consumer as defined by JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards, you may request that the arbitration hearing be conducted in the area in which you reside.

For Non-Consumers: Otherwise, the hearing (if any) shall take place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America.

Virtual Hearings: The arbitrator may, in their discretion or upon request of either party, conduct hearings by telephone, video conference, or other remote means, particularly when doing so would reduce costs or increase convenience without compromising the fairness of the proceedings.

13.4 Class Action and Representative Proceeding Waiver

EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT, TO A TRIAL BY JURY, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION.

This means:

You cannot bring claims against us as part of a class action lawsuit
You cannot seek to represent other users in any legal proceeding
All disputes must be resolved through individual arbitration
You waive any right to participate in or receive benefits from any class settlement

Prohibition on Consolidation: The arbitrator may not consolidate multiple parties' claims or preside over any form of representative or class proceeding.

13.5 Arbitration Costs and Fees

Consumer Arbitrations: For consumers as defined by JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards:

We will pay all JAMS filing, administration, and arbitrator fees for claims seeking less than $10,000
For claims seeking $10,000 or more, costs will be allocated according to JAMS Consumer Minimum Standards
Each party bears their own attorney's fees unless applicable law provides otherwise

Non-Consumer Arbitrations: Costs and fees will be allocated according to JAMS rules, with each party typically responsible for their own attorney's fees.

Fee-Shifting: The arbitrator may award attorney's fees and costs to the prevailing party if applicable law or this Agreement provides for such an award.

13.6 Small Claims Court Exception

Notwithstanding the arbitration requirement, either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if:

The claim is within the monetary jurisdiction of small claims court
The claim is brought in a court of competent jurisdiction
The proceeding remains in small claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction

If a small claims court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over a claim, that claim must be arbitrated.

13.7 Opt-Out Right

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice within 30 days of first accepting this Agreement. Your opt-out notice must be sent to:

PilatesBody Studios LLC

13.8 Survival and Severability

Survival: This arbitration agreement survives termination of this Agreement and termination of your account.

Severability: If any portion of this arbitration agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect, provided that:

If the class action waiver is held invalid, the entire arbitration agreement shall be deemed unenforceable
If the arbitration agreement as a whole is held invalid, disputes shall be resolved in court subject to the jury waiver in Section 14.2

13.9 Changes to Arbitration Terms

We may modify this arbitration agreement, but any such changes will not apply to disputes arising before the effective date of the modification. We will provide notice of material changes to the arbitration agreement.
