The Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration must be filed with one of the following neutral arbitration forums: American Arbitration Association or JAMS. That organization will apply its code of procedures in effect at the time the arbitration claim is filed. If there is a conflict between that code and this arbitration provision and/or this agreement, this arbitration provision and this agreement will control. If JAMS or the AAA is unable to handle the claim for any reason, then the matter shall be arbitrated by a neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties (or, if the parties cannot agree, selected by a court in accordance with the FAA).

A Claim in an arbitration proceeding may be decided by the arbitrator based on the parties’ written submissions. If a hearing is necessary as determined by the Arbitrator, it may be conducted by telephone or by video, if the parties have such capabilities. Otherwise, arbitration shall be conducted in the county and state where you signed the Agreement, you reside, or another reasonably convenient place to you as determined by the arbitrator, unless applicable laws require another location.
