13. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the App shall first be attempted to be resolved through good faith negotiations. Any dispute that cannot be resolved through negotiation shall be finally settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its applicable rules.
