You and Pangaea Parties further agree that any decision regarding the enforceability or validity of this arbitration provision will be determined by the arbitrator and not by any court. You further agree not to, under any circumstances, bring or maintain any claim against the Pangaea Parties as part of a class action, class arbitration, or other representative action or proceeding.

      In arbitration, your claims will be heard and determined by a neutral arbiter, not a judge or jury. You are entitled to a fair hearing in front of the arbitrator. Arbitration is usually a more informal streamlined procedure than a court proceeding. An arbitrator can grant the same relief that a court can award. Therefore, decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons. The arbitrator will not have the authority to: (1) consolidate claims brought by more than one person against the Pangaea Parties; (2) preside over any representative or class action against the Pangaea Parties; or (3) award damages to a class. Any proceeding to confirm, modify, or vacate an arbitration award, may be commenced in any court of competent jurisdiction. You acknowledge and agree that this class action waiver is material to the agreement to arbitrate disputes.

      This Agreement, and any dispute between you and Pangaea, shall be governed by the laws of the state of California without regard to principles of conflicts of law, provided that this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“), and conducted under AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) in effect at the time of the dispute. You may obtain copies of the AAA Rules which explain how to begin an arbitration procedure by visiting the AAA website at www.adr.org, or by calling AAA at (800) 778-7879.

      In the event that this arbitration agreement is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against the Pangaea Parties may be commenced only in the federal or state courts located in Los Angeles, California. You hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of these courts and waive any right to a trial by jury.

1 All card transactions are transacted between you and Pangaea US. Transactions with other payment methods are transacted between you and Pangaea entity in your region.
