4. there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration will decide only your and/or Giveback360’s individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;
5. in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Giveback360 will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and
6. with the exception of subpart (d) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein.

If, however, subpart (d) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Giveback360 shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute.
