-

If we are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 days, either party may proceed to file a claim for arbitration.
Arbitration procedure. Federal arbitration law applies to these terms. Except for small claims court cases, any and all disputes will be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The AAA will apply the Commercial Arbitration Rules to the arbitration of any dispute under these Terms, unless you are an individual and use the Services for personal or household use, in which case the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules will apply ( excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions).

location of arbitration. Unless you and we agree otherwise, the arbitration must take place, or the small claims action must be brought, in the county of your principal residence or in Santa Clara County, California.
Arbitration Fees and Expenses. We will reimburse you for any filing fees charged by the AAA for arbitration of the dispute. If you provide us with a signed written notice that you are unable to pay the filing fee, we will pay the fee directly to the AAA. if arbitration proceeds, we will also pay any arbitrator and administrative fees subsequently collected.
Settlement offers. We may, but are not required to, make a written settlement offer at any time before or during the arbitration. the amount or terms of any settlement offer may not be disclosed to the arbitrator unless and until the arbitrator issues an award on the claim. if you do not accept the offer and the arbitrator awards you more than our offer but less than $5,000, we agree to: (a) pay you $5,000 instead of the lower amount awarded, (b) pay your reasonable fees and costs of attorneys, and (c) reimburse arbitration filing fees and arbitrator fees and expenses incurred in connection with the arbitration of your dispute. If the arbitrator awards you more than $5,000 and we do not contest the award, then we will pay you the amount of the award.
severability. If any part of this arbitration agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the court will amend the agreement to the extent necessary to cure the unenforceable part(s). enforceable(s), and the parties will arbitrate their dispute(s) without reference to or reliance on the non-enforceable party(s). however, if for any reason the class action waiver set forth in subsection 14.3.c below is unenforceable with respect to part or all of the dispute, then the agreement to arbitrate will not apply to that dispute or part of her. Any dispute covered by any class action waiver provision found to be unenforceable may only be litigated in a court of competent jurisdiction, but the remainder of the arbitration agreement will be binding and enforceable. For the avoidance of any doubt or uncertainty, the parties do not agree to class arbitration or arbitration of any claim brought on behalf of others.
Class Action Waiver. These Terms do not allow class or collective arbitrations, even if the AAA Rules or Procedures did. Notwithstanding any other provision of these terms, the arbitrator may award money or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief justified by that party’s individual claim. court or arbitration proceedings conducted under these terms may not be commenced, maintained, or resolved on behalf of or by a class, such as a private attorney general, or in any other representative capacity. furthermore, individual proceedings cannot be combined without the consent of all parties. Any question regarding the applicability or interpretation of this paragraph will be decided by a court and not by the arbitrator.
Jury trial waiver. if for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, you and yahoo agree that there will be no jury trial. you and yahoo unconditionally waive any right to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim arising out of or related to these terms. in the event of litigation, this paragraph may be presented to show a written consent for trial in court.
