ARBITRATION
All disputes arising out of or relating to any purchase you make with via this Website, any information you provide via the Website, the Terms of this Agreement (including its formation, performance or alleged breach), and your use of the Website will be exclusively resolved under confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”) then in effect at the time of the dispute. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. If you initiate arbitration, STC will promptly reimburse you for any standard filing fee which may have been required under AAA Rules once you have notified STC in writing and provided a copy of the arbitration proceedings.

If for any reason the AAA is unavailable, the parties shall mutually select another arbitration forum. The arbitration will be conducted in the city of Salt Lake City, Utah, but may proceed telephonically if the claimant so chooses. The arbitrator’s award will be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
