The parties hereby waive all rights to judicial review of the arbitrator’s decision and any award contained therein.

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.   Either you and/or Company may assert claims, if it qualifies, in small claims court in Chicago, Illinois. Either party may also bring a lawsuit for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use and/or abuse of the Services, breach of Company’s confidential information, Content and/or use of Materials and/or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright and/or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration and/or the informal dispute-resolution process described herein.

Judicial forum for disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you and/or your claim, you and Company agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Chicago, Illinois.  Both you and Company consent to the foregoing venue and jurisdiction.
