Class Action Waiver

READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.

You agree that you and Ingram will resolve any disputes, claims, or controversies on an individual basis, and that claim(s), if any, brought under these Terms of Use in connection with the Site will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. You and Ingram further agree that you shall not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising under these Terms of Use or in connection with the Site.

Any invalid or unenforceable provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law.
