15.1 Binding Arbitration

You and Living Stones agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or your use thereof (including but not limited to breach of contract, tort, products liability, fraud, and statutory claims) shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS (Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services) under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures, or if JAMS is unavailable, by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules.

15.2 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND LIVING STONES AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You waive your right to participate in class actions, class arbitrations, or representative actions against Living Stones. If a court determines that the class action waiver is unenforceable, any class action must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, not through arbitration.

If you do not agree to the modified Terms, you must cease using the Service and delete your account.

18. Severability
