18. Dispute Resolution
Informal Negotiations
Before initiating arbitration, the parties agree to attempt to negotiate any dispute, controversy, or claim (“Dispute”) informally for at least sixty (60) days after written notice.
Binding Arbitration
If unresolved, the Dispute (except as excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where applicable, the AAA Consumer Rules. Arbitration may be conducted in person, by documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator must apply applicable law. Unless required otherwise, arbitration will take place in Denver, Colorado. Either party may seek court assistance to compel arbitration, stay proceedings, or confirm/vacate/enter judgment on the award.
If a Dispute proceeds in court, it shall be commenced in the state or federal courts located in Denver, Colorado, and the parties consent to such jurisdiction and venue. The CISG and UCITA do not apply. No Dispute related to the Services may be brought more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose. If any portion of this provision is found illegal or unenforceable, that portion will be severed and the Dispute decided by a court of competent jurisdiction as provided above.

Arbitration is limited to the parties individually; no class actions or representative proceedings are permitted.
Exceptions
The following Disputes are excluded from informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) enforcement or validity of our intellectual-property rights; (b) allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) claims for injunctive relief.
