ARBITRATION - You and Trilegiant agree that any claim or dispute ("Claim") between us shall, at the election of either of us, be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its rules for consumer arbitrations.

If the specific provision in the preceding sentence is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision in this Section 6 shall be null and void. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court.
