The arbitration before the AAA shall proceed solely on an individual basis without the right for any claims to be arbitrated on a class action basis or bases involving claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of others. The Federal Arbitration Act, and not any state arbitration law, governs all arbitration under this paragraph. All decisions rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and final. The arbitrator’s award is final and binding on all parties. The arbitrator’s authority to resolve and make written awards is limited to claims between you and N3RD Media alone. Claims may not be joined or consolidated unless agreed to in writing by all parties. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. If you initiate litigation or any other proceeding against N3RD Media in violation of this paragraph, you agree to pay N3RD Media’s reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with our enforcement of this paragraph.

24) Independent Contractor

N3RD Media and User are independent contractors, and nothing contained in this Agreement places N3RD Media and User in the relationship of principal and agent, partners or joint venture’s. Neither party has, expressly or by implication, or may represent itself as having, any authority to make contracts or enter into any agreements in the name of the other party or to obligate or bind the other party in any manner whatsoever.

25) Governing Law; Jurisdiction
