could a court of general jurisdiction.

legally permissible and shall not be made public by any party or the arbitrator without the prior writtenconsent of all parties to the arbitration, except as the law may otherwise require.

which come under their jurisdiction. This Agreement is not intended to prevent you from initiating or
participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by these government agencies, nor does it

prohibit you from contacting witnesses or investigating claims you may assert in the arbitration.
Nothing in this arbitration provision is intended to limit any right you may have to file a charge with or
obtain relief from the appropriate government agency.
16.6.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you, and each member of your group, hereby waive any
right to bring class-wide claims before any arbitrator or in any forum, and you, and eachmember of your group, understand and agree that any arbitration shall be conducted on an
individual basis only, not a class basis. You, and each member of your group, understand that, byagreeing to arbitrate disputes, you are each waiving any right to a jury trial.
