In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or the use of the platform, the parties agree to first attempt to resolve the issue informally through negotiation.

This section is intended to be interpreted broadly and, in the event of any dispute between the parties regarding the interpretation or application of this class action waiver, the arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this class action waiver.
