22.2 Any and all Disputes including bur not limited to, those relating to the arbitrability of these Terms of Use and the enforceability of this arbitration agreement, will be brought for exclusive resolution by binding arbitration before a single arbitrator, rather than in court, except that you and we may bring Disputes on an individual basis in small claims court if they qualify.

22.3 There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited.
