The parties agree that the arbitration will be kept confidential and that the existence of the proceeding and any element of it (including any pleadings, briefs, or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and awards) will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as may lawfully be required in judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration or by applicable disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other governmental agencies.
- 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.
