Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with Skillzboard and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms, our Services or Products purchased through our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in New York, New York before and in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("Rules") of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services ("JAMS"), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference.

You and Skillzboard agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms, our Services or Products purchased through the Services is personal to you and Skillzboard and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual arbitration and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
You and Skillzboard agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 14 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court; provided, however, that the arbitrator does not have the authority to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms. The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual. You and Skillzboard agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and Skillzboard will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs.
