Unless you and Canvas agree otherwise in writing, YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER YOU BY SUCH COURTS AND TO VENUE IN SUCH COURTS.
These provisions, except as otherwise provided in the Arbitration Agreement of these Terms, are only intended to specify the use of Alabama law to interpret these Terms and the forum for disputes asserting a breach of these Terms, and these provisions shall not be interpreted as generally extending Alabama law to you if you do not otherwise reside in Alabama. The foregoing choice of law and forum selection provisions do not apply to the Arbitration Agreement or to any arbitrable disputes as defined therein. Instead, the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to any such disputes.

25. DISPUTES; MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”)
By agreeing to the Terms, you agree that you are required to resolve any claim that you may have against Canvas on an individual basis in arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. YOU AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This will preclude you from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against Canvas, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative action brought against Canvas by someone else.
(a) Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Canvas.
You and Canvas agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to (a) these Terms or the existence, breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to the Terms, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and Canvas, and not in a court of law.
You acknowledge and agree that you and Canvas are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and Canvas otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. However, you and Canvas each retain the right to bring an individual action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.
(b) Rules and Governing Law.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (the "AAA Rules") then in effect, except as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org/arb_med or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
The parties agree that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including issues relating to whether the Terms are unconscionable or illusory and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms, the parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of Delaware.
(c) Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration - Consumer Arbitration Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Arbitrator will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed to practice law in the state of Alabama and will be selected by the parties from the AAA's roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules.
(d) Location and Procedure. Unless you and Canvas otherwise agree, resolution of any and all disputes will be conducted in Jefferson County, Alabama, U.S.A., which shall have jurisdiction over such disputes and over Users. YOU WAIVE ANY AND ALL OBJECTIONS TO VENUE AND TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER YOU.
(e) Arbitrator's Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the claimant's individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect.
(f) Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA Rules. If the Arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from AAA, Canvas will pay them for you. In addition, Canvas will reimburse all such filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the Arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, Canvas will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the Arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
(g) Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions above, regarding consent to be bound by amendments to these Terms, if Canvas changes this Arbitration Agreement after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change by providing Canvas written notice of such rejection within 30 days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the "Effective" date above.

By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between you and Canvas in accordance with the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent changes to the Terms).
(h) Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

26. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS

No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Canvas as a result of these Terms, your account, or your use of the Services.

28. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY
No waiver by Canvas of any term or condition set forth in these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of Canvas to assert or enforce a right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision unless acknowledged and agreed to by Canvas in writing.

This provision shall not affect the Severability and Survival provisions with respect to the Arbitration Agreement which is part of these Terms.
