    2. No Class Representative: You and Candi each agree that neither may act as a class representative or private attorney general or participate as a member of a class of claimants, with respect to any Claim.  You agree that Claims may not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis.  The arbitrator can decide only individual Claims (whether brought by you or Candi).  The arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated.

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement, written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address:  Candi, c/o Legal Department, 1921 Ridge Rd. #1134, Homewood, IL 60430.
