Under no circumstances shall the arbitrator be authorized to award damages, remedies or awards that conflict with these Terms of Service.

11.3. Class Action Waiver. Any claims brought by you or Madison must be brought in such party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.
