MAXGROUP does not permit minors under the age of 18 years old to access, or become Registered Users of, the Sites.

AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

In the event of a dispute between you and us arising under or relating to anything regarding your access and/or use of our Sites and relationship with us, either of us may choose to resolve the dispute by binding arbitration, instead of in court.

Arbitration: If mediation is unsuccessful, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. REPS waive all rights to trial by jury or by any court. All arbitration proceedings shall be held in the Phoenix metro area, Arizona, unless the laws of the state in which a REP resides expressly require the application of its laws, in which case the arbitration shall be held in the capital of that state.
