(e) Notwithstanding any other terms of this ADR Requirement, You and We agree that either of Us may litigate any Claim in the small claims court of New York County (Manhattan), New York, if the Claim meets all requirements to be heard in that court, but if such a Claim is transferred, removed or appealed to a different court, You and We will each have the right to require that the Claim be arbitrated pursuant to this Agreement.
(f) If either You or We commence an arbitration against the other, arbitration costs, including compensation for the arbitrator(s), shall be split between Us according to AAA rules. Additionally, the prevailing party in any arbitration proceeding commenced pursuant to this ADR Requirement shall be entitled to be reimbursed for its reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(g) You may opt out of this ADR Requirement by notifying Us in writing within 30 days of the date You first became subject to this ADR Requirement with a statement that includes Your name, address and email address used for Your Member account along with a clear statement that You do not agree to be bound by this ADR Requirement.
