16.&nbsp;WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION; ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF USE, IN PARTICULAR THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AND THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE FIRM ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION OR OTHER ACTION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED.

THE FIRM AND YOU MUTUALLY AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE OR ANY CONTENT OR MATERIALS THEREON, OR THESE TERMS (INCLUDING OUR PRIVACY POLICY), INCLUDING DISPUTES ARISING FROM OR CONCERNING THEIR INTERPRETATION, VIOLATION, INVALIDITY, NON-PERFORMANCE, OR TERMINATION, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION UNDER THE RULES OF ARBITRATION OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION ("AAA") APPLYING OHIO LAW, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five (5) years' experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"). The parties also agree that the AAA's rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal, except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall not have the authority to award attorneys' fees, unless otherwise expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages, and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. THE PARTIES AGREE TO ARBITRATE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND THESE TERMS OF USE DO NOT PERMIT CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. For the avoidance of doubt, this section shall be construed as a written agreement to arbitrate a dispute of any kind between you and the Firm that may arise through the use of this Website, and you hereby agree with us that this paragraph satisfies any writing or consent requirement of the FAA. Any and all arbitration proceedings and hearings shall be conducted in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. Except as required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in a federal or state court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial.

No waiver by the Firm of any term or condition set out in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of the Firm to assert a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms will continue in full force and effect.

The Terms and our Privacy Policy constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and the Firm regarding the Website and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, regarding the Website.

From time to time, we review these Terms to ensure that they comply with applicable law. Consequently, we reserve the right to update and revise these Terms at any time. We will notify you if these Terms are updated by updating the "Last Updated" section of these Terms. These Terms are effective as of the "Last Updated" date provided herein. Your continued use of the Website signifies your consent to the Terms, as of the "Last Updated" date.
