Accordingly, you further agree that any representation (written or verbal) by any of Our Representatives (or by anyone else acting on our behalf or by anyone purportedly acting on our behalf) that we (including but not limited to any of Our Representatives, anyone else acting on our behalf, or anyone purportedly acting on our behalf) would or would not prevent, restrict, redress or regulate content (including, without limitation, screen, block, moderate, review, remove, terminate, delete, edit or otherwise stop, cure or exclude any content), or to implement other enforcement measures against any content, conduct or potential or purported Terms of Use violation is superseded by this provision and is nonbinding and unenforceable.

Arbitration means that the Dispute will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. An arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act applies to this agreement.
Exclusions from Arbitration

In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, you must send a copy of the completed form to us at the following address to initiate arbitration proceedings: [ ].]
You and we agree to treat the arbitration proceedings and any related discovery confidential. The terms of this Section govern in the event they conflict with the rules of the AAA.
Location of Arbitration
The arbitration proceedings shall be held in New York County, New York, unless you can demonstrate that arbitration in New York County would create an undue burden to you. If you can demonstrate that arbitration in New York County would create an undue burden to you, we may allow you to initiate the arbitration in your home state.
Class Action Waiver
YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE SPECIFICALLY AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S OR PARTY'S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER SITE USERS.
Severability
If any clause within this Section (other than the Class Action Waiver clause above) is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from this Section, and the remainder of this Section will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, this entire Section will be unenforceable, the Dispute will be decided by a court, and you and we each agree to waive in that instance, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
Continuation
This Section shall survive any termination of the provision of the associated services to you.]

Terms and Conditions Applicable to Community Marketplace
AGREEMENT TO TERMS: MTI Community Marketplace, owned and operated by MTI L.P. ("MTI"), is a service through which you may list or search for show specific items. Your participation in MTI Community Marketplace is subject to these additional terms.
In addition, by participating in MTI Community Marketplace, you agree to comply with any posted guidelines and rules applicable to MTI Community Marketplace. All such guidelines and rules are incorporated by reference. Please note: the MTI Community Marketplace guidelines include a description of those items that may not be listed or sold through MTI Community Marketplace. Unless otherwise expressly provided, MTI reserves the right to update and change, from time to time, these additional terms and all documents incorporated by reference. You can always find the most recent version of the MTI Terms of Use and the MTI Community Marketplace guidelines at the URL indicated above.
YOUR RELEASE AND WAIVER: You understand and agree that MTI provides a platform for sellers to list items and buyers to search for and purchase items in connection with MTI Community Marketplace. MTI is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers. MTI does not screen or control users who may sell or buy items, nor does MTI review or authenticate all listings or items offered for sale. MTI does not specifically approve, advocate or endorse any of the products or services listed on Community Marketplace.
Because MTI is not involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, in the event that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release MTI and its affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, agents and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code §1542, which provides: "A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor." Also, as MTI is acting only as a platform, MTI is not responsible for the collection and remittance of any federal, state or local taxes. Buyers and sellers are responsible for all tax related issues that may arise.
LEGAL COMPLIANCE: You shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances and regulations regarding your use of MTI Community Marketplace and your listing of, purchase of, and sale of any and all items.
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS: MTI expressly reserves the right to, but has no duty to, refuse, reject or remove any listing in MTI's sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that MTI has the right to immediately modify, suspend or terminate any listings or your account and refuse current or future use of any MTI service if MTI, in its sole discretion, believes you have: (i) violated or tried to violate the rights of others; or (ii) have acted inconsistently with the spirit or letter of these additional terms or any document incorporated by reference, including, without limitation, the MTI Terms of Use.
INVALIDITY OF SPECIFIC TERMS: If any provision of these additional terms or any document incorporated by reference is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the such documents remain in full force and effect.
LOCATION OF LAWSUIT: By participating as a buyer or seller in MTI Community Marketplace, you agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of New York, New York in connection with any action brought by or against MTI.
Effective Date: November 20, 2015
