14.2 Arbitration Agreement

You and DIAL agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you or DIAL may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, and (2) you or DIAL may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

14.3 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND DIAL AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.
