11.3 Class Action Waiver

⚖️ REVIEW REQUIRED: To the extent permitted by law, any arbitration or court proceeding shall be conducted on an individual basis and not as a class action, collective action, or representative action. You waive the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration.
