You will cooperate as fully as required by us in the defense or settlement of any claim. We will provide you with timely notice of any such claim, suit or proceeding.
11. Arbitration, Class‐Action Waiver, and Jury Waiver
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO AGREE TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION.
Waiver of Jury Trial. RJW AND YOU EACH AGREE TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JUDGE OR JURY FOR ALL DISPUTES, EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR INFRINGEMENT OF YOUR OR OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (SUCH AS COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS, DOMAINS, LOGOS, TRADE DRESS, TRADE SECRETS, AND PATENTS). Such disputes include those relating to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with your rights of privacy and publicity, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration, which is typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. RJW and you agree not to combine a dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Agreement with a dispute that is not eligible for arbitration under this Agreement.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If, however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth herein.
Required Use of AAA. You agree that the arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the arbitration is started, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer‐Related Disputes (together, the “AAA Rules”). The arbitration will be presided over by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the AAA Rules. The AAA Rules, information regarding initiating a dispute, and a description of the arbitration process are available at http://www.adr.org. The arbitrator will decide whether a dispute can be arbitrated. The location of the arbitration and the allocation of fees and costs for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules.
Opt‐Out Procedure. You may opt out of this Agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither we nor you can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing postmarked within 30 days of the later of: (i) the date that you first accepted our Terms and Conditions of Use; and (ii) the date you became subject to this arbitration provision. You must use this address to opt‐out:
termsofuse@mynewsite641603894.wpcomstaging.com
You must include: (1) your name and residence address; (2) the mobile phone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of our agreement to arbitrate.
Place to File Permitted Court Actions. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, if your dispute is related to intellectual property rights, or if the arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, you and RJW agree and consent that such disputes will be resolved in the federal or state courts in the State of Illinois and that agree to submit to personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in the Northern District of Illinois.
Time Limit to Start Arbitration. We and you agree that for any dispute (except intellectual property disputes) must commence an arbitration proceeding within one year after the dispute first arose; otherwise, such dispute is permanently barred. This means that if we or you do not commence an arbitration within one year after the dispute first arose, the arbitration will be dismissed as untimely.
Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with RJW.
12. Availability and termination of RJW’s Website
The Website may be interrupted, including for maintenance, repairs, upgrades, or network or equipment failures. We may discontinue some or all of our services at any time and events beyond our control may affect our services.

13. General
Modifications
At any time and at RJW’s sole discretion, we may add, delete, or modify this Agreement or the Website. We will provide you notice of amendments to this Agreement, as appropriate by amending the “Last Modified” date at the top of this Agreement. Amendments to the Agreement will automatically take effect upon the date that an update is published. Your continued use of RJW’s Website indicates you have read, understood, and agreed to the then current version of our Agreement, as amended.

Miscellaneous
This Agreement, together with our Privacy Policy and any other legal notices we have published, constitute the entire agreement between you and us. If any provision of the Agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, including, but not limited to, the warranty disclaimers and liability limitations set forth above, then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. The provision shall be deemed severable from the Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
Our failure or delay to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any provision of this Agreement. We may assign our rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.
This Agreement, and any rights and licenses granted under this Agreement, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by us without restriction.
No action arising out of this Agreement or your access to or use of our Website, regardless of form or the basis of the claim, may be brought by you more than one (1) year after the cause of action has arisen (or if multiple causes, from the date the first such cause arose) and you hereby waive any longer statute of limitations that may be permitted by law.
