If you choose to submit a claims form and are a natural person, you agree that in the event of any dispute, controversy, or claim between us (or our respective heirs, successors, assigns, or affiliates) arising out of, relating to, or in connection with your engagement of us (any of the foregoing, a “dispute”), you and we waive the right to seek remedies in court, including the right to a jury trial, and agree to submit said dispute exclusively to binding individual arbitration. For disputes where less than $10,000 is in controversy, the arbitration should be conducted in accordance with Part 137 of the Rules of the Chief Administrator of the Courts (22 NYCRR), provided that arbitration is otherwise permitted under the rules. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to decide any claims as a class, collective, or representative action. For disputes where greater than $10,000 is at issue, or for disputes less than $10,000 but for which 22 NYCRR does not permit arbitration, such dispute shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding confidential arbitration pursuant to the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures, as they may be amended from time to time.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator appointed pursuant to JAMS rules. The arbitrator shall not have the authority to decide any claims as a class, collective, or representative action. The parties will share the expense of arbitration equally. Threshold issues of arbitrability shall be decided by the arbitrator, including the scope of this agreement and whether a controversy or claim arises out of or relates to your engagement of us. If you are an employee of Valve, an attorney for Valve, a principal, employee, or former employee of Zaiger LLC, or a principal, employee, or former employee of Black Diamond Capital Management, this provision does not apply to you.
