B. Agreement to Binding Arbitration. If the parties do not reach an agreed upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is pursued pursuant to Section 8(A) above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms and Conditions (including their formation, performance and breach), the parties' relationship with each other and/or BinIT Disposal Solutions' provision of the Services shall be finally settled by binding individual arbitration administered on a confidential basis by Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution, in accordance with the Alabama Center for Dispute Resolutions’ Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class arbitration. Each party will have the right to use legal counsel in connection with arbitration at its own expense. The parties shall select a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the Alabama Center for Dispute Resolutions’ Rules and Procedures. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Terms and Conditions is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing and provide a statement of the essential findings and conclusions, shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms and Conditions shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.The Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution rules governing the arbitration may be accessed at alabamaadr.org.

If BinIT Disposal Solutions is required to pay the additional cost of the filing fees, Customer should submit a request for payment of fees to Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution along with Customer's form for initiating the arbitration, and BinIT Disposal Solutions will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to Alabama Center for Dispute Resolutions. BinIT Disposal Solutions will also be responsible for paying all other arbitration costs arising in connection with the arbitration. Customer will not be required to pay fees and costs incurred by BinIT Disposal Solutions if Customer does not prevail in arbitration. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
C. Class Action and Class Arbitration Waiver. Customer and BinIT Disposal Solutions each further agree that any arbitration shall be conducted in their respective individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and Customer and BinIT Disposal Solutions each expressly waive their rights to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provision set forth above in Section 8(B) shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes
D. Exception - Small Claims Court Claims. Notwithstanding the parties' agreement to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court's jurisdiction.
E. 30 Day Right to Opt Out.
