Excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief, any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to the Services or these Terms, including without limitation, any and all disputes, claims (whether in tort, contract, statutory or otherwise) or disagreements concerning the existence, breach, interpretation, application or termination of the Terms, shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Inc.
