In the event of a dispute, claim or controversy between us that arises out of or relates to these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between you and State and Liberty, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (collectively, a “Dispute”), you and State and Liberty agree to try to resolve such Dispute informally by first sending a notice to the other.  Such notice must be clearly marked “Notice of Dispute” and include the name and contact information of the party giving such notice.  The notice must also include the nature of the dispute, including the facts related to the dispute, in reasonable detail.  Further, the notice must include a specific statement of the proposed resolution of the Dispute.

IN THE EVENT THAT ANY DISPUTE IS UNRESOLVED THROUGH INFORMAL DISCUSSIONS WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AS DESCRIBED IN THE “INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION ABOVE, AND EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, YOU AND STATE AND LIBERTY AGREE TO RESOLVE SUCH DISPUTE THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT STATE AND LIBERTY AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND TO HAVE A TRIAL BY JURY.
