That means neither you and your affiliates can bring a claim as a plaintiff or class member in a class action, consolidated action, or representative action. The arbitrator cannot combine more than one person’s or entity’s claims into a single case, and cannot preside over any consolidated, class or representative proceeding. And, the arbitrator’s decision or award in one person’s or entity’s case can only impact the person or entity that brought the claim, not other RML customers, and cannot be used to decide other disputes with other customers. If a court decides that this Section -Class Action Waiver is not enforceable or valid, then the entire Section-Agreement to Arbitrate will be null and void (i.e., go away). But, the rest of the Terms will still apply.
