DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER. If a dispute arises in connection with your use of our Site or Services or in relation to any of these Terms of Service (collectively, “Disputes”) our hope is that we can resolve the matter informally. Accordingly, in the event of a Dispute, we agree to first contact each other via email with a description of the Dispute and any proposed resolution. You will email support@SparkRise.com with your concern and the Company will contact you via the email address we have on file for you. 

If a Dispute cannot be resolved informally, we each agree that except as provided below, the Dispute will be submitted to final and binding arbitration in Los Angeles, CA before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. Please refer to www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ for details on this process. Either party may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration with JAMS and providing a copy to the other party. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You expressly agree to refrain from bringing or joining any claims in any representative or class-wide capacity, including but not limited to bringing or joining any claims in any class action or any class-wide arbitration.
