Currently, the AAA Rules provide for reduced filing fees for consumers. Unless otherwise provided for in the AAA Rules or in the arbitration award, all other administrative fees and expenses of arbitration, including the fees and expenses of the arbitrator, will be divided equally between You and DLP. Each party will bear the cost of preparing and presenting its own case. Any in-person arbitration proceedings will be held in Boston, Massachusetts or at the location that AAA selects unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the parties. Each dispute will be arbitrated on an individual basis and will not be consolidated in any action with the disputes or claims of other consumers or customers. No dispute or claim may be brought as a class action or as a private attorney general, and You will not have the right to act as a class representative or participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any dispute or claim related to the Service.
