GENERAL
These Terms of Use shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard
to its conflicts of law principles. LifePlans'
performance of these Terms of Use is subject to existing laws and legal
process, and nothing contained in these Terms of Use shall derogate LifePlans' right to comply with law enforcement requests or

contemporaneous communications, oral or written.

property rights, LifePlans may seek injunctive or
other appropriate relief. The arbitration shall be conducted before one neutral
arbitrator in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States, in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as then in
effect. No claims of any other parties may be joined or otherwise combined in
the arbitration proceeding. Unless otherwise expressly required by applicable
law, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees without regard to which
party is deemed the prevailing party in the arbitration proceeding. Except for
punitive and consequential damages (which may not be awarded), and subject to
these Terms of Use, the arbitrator shall be authorized to award either party
any provisional or equitable remedy permitted by applicable law.

REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR’S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING.
OTHER RIGHTS THAT EITHER PARTY WOULD HAVE IF SUCH PARTY WENT TO COURT,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT DISCOVERY OR TO APPEAL, MAY
BE LIMITED OR UNAVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
