These Terms are governed by the governing law of the Organization’s Services Agreement with Company.

Except where your claim arises under or is related to a Service Agreement, in which case such Agreement shall control, any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of, related to, or in connection with, the Applications, without regard to the theory of liability asserted, shall be determined only by binding arbitration in Rochester, New York, administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules.
