You and GiftPay agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or may arise between you and GiftPay shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration

rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA rules are available at www.adr.org. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA rules. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, or the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. If a court decides that any part of this Section 9.10 is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Section 9.10 shall still apply.

The arbitration shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, you or GiftPay may elect to have the arbitration conducted by telephone or based solely on written submissions, which election shall be binding on you and GiftPay subject to the discretion of the arbitrator(s) to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or GiftPay may attend by telephone, unless required otherwise by the arbitrator(s).

The arbitrator(s) will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator(s) shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different merchants, but is/are bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same merchant to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
