Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. You agree that, by agreeing to this Agreement, you and we are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.
