11. ARBITRATION
Any dispute relating in any way to your use of the OFP website and the services offered therein shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Denver, Colorado. You agree that any Dispute between you and OFP shall be resolved exclusively and finally by arbitration administered by the National Arbitration Forum ("NAF"), using interpretations under Colorado law, and conducted under its rules, except as otherwise provided below. You and OFP will agree on another arbitration forum if NAF ceases operations. The arbitration will be conducted before a single arbitrator, and will be limited solely to the Dispute between you and OFP. The arbitrator may award reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in staying or dismissing such other proceedings or in otherwise enforcing compliance with the arbitration provision. The arbitrator's award, including attorneys' fees, shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under these TOS or Privacy Policy shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to these TOS or Privacy Policy, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise. You understand that, in the absence of this provision, you would have had a right to litigate disputes through a court, including the right to litigate claims on a class-wide or class action basis, and that you have expressly and knowingly waived those rights and agreed to resolve any Disputes through binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section. This arbitration provision shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. ยง 1, et seq. For the purposes of this provision, the term "Dispute" means any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to: (i) this TOS or Privacy Policy, its interpretation, or the breach, termination, applicability or validity thereof; (ii) the related order for, purchase, delivery, receipt or use of any product or service from OFP; or (iii) any other dispute arising out of or relating to the relationship between You and OFP. Information may be obtained from the NAF online at www.arb-forum.com, by calling 800-474- 2371, or writing to P.O. Box 50191, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55405.
