Except for claims that may be brought in small claims court, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Dane County, Wisconsin, under its Consumer Arbitration Rules then in effect, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.

YOU AND INSPIRED ATHLETICS EACH AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, AND EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

If any part of this arbitration provision is found unenforceable, the remainder shall remain in effect, except that if the class action waiver in this Section is found unenforceable, the entire arbitration provision shall be null and void and any dispute shall proceed instead in the courts identified in the Governing Law section below.

Your continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
