You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, mobile apps, and service, or to any aspect of your relationship with TSC, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify.

Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review. Waiver of Class of Other Non-Individualized Relief.
