Instead, all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or our Services will be resolved through confidential binding arbitration held in Salt Lake County, Utah in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”) of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”), which are available on the JAMS website and hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

You and SAFEGUARD Recruiting agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee and SAFEGUARD Recruiting will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by SAFEGUARD Recruiting, SAFEGUARD Recruiting will pay all JAMS fees and costs.
