Both parties agree that, except as otherwise provided herein, all disputes (including any dispute involving interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of the Agreement, including any claim that the Agreement or any part of it is void or voidable) will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration under the American Arbitration Association’s rules.
