• “You cannot purchase securities of the Company on the Site, and you will not acquire any ownership interest in the Company by investing in an Issuer.

• “Any claim we may have against you arising out of your activities with respect to the Site, other than Excluded Claims (as defined below), shall similarly be resolved exclusively by arbitration.
• “The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with and pursuant to the arbitration procedures of FINRA, as long as all of the claims (other than Excluded Claims) are eligible to be arbitrated in accordance with such procedures. If some or all of the claims (other than Excluded Claims) are not eligible to be arbitrated in accordance with FINRA procedures, then the arbitration shall be conducted and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA (“Rules and Procedures“) (available at http://www.adr.org).

Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe, or describe the scope or extent of such section. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our rights with respect to subsequent breaches.
