You and BlindPay agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, or to the use of the BlindPay Services (collectively, "Disputes") will be resolved solely by binding individual arbitration and not in a class, representative, or consolidated action or proceeding.
