DISPUTE RESOLUTION:

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation, and enforceability of these Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Illinois, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Illinois. To the extent any disputes arising out of these Terms appear in court, they will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Chicago, Illinois, and each party consents to such exclusive jurisdiction and agrees not to challenge such venue.

You and BLUEPRINT agree that any legal disputes or claims arising out of or related to these Terms that cannot be resolved informally shall be submitted to binding arbitration in Illinois, except that You may assert claims in small claims court if Your claims qualify. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “Rules”), or as otherwise mutually agreed by You and BLUEPRINT. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The Rules, including instructions for how to initiate arbitration, are available at https://www.adr.org. Claims shall be brought within the time required by applicable law.

You and BLUEPRINT agree that any claim, action or proceeding arising out of or related to the Terms must be brought in Your individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding.

All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope, application, and enforceability of the arbitration provision are for a court to decide. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive termination of these Terms.
