(h)       All disputes between the parties and all arbitration proceedings will be private and confidential and, except as may be required by law, neither you nor the Company nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any claim, controversy or dispute under arising out of or relating to the Website, our Services or these Terms of Service or arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right.

(i)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, no party shall be precluded from bringing an individual claim in small claims court only, to the extent the applicable claim is within the jurisdictional limits of such court.  The parties hereby agree to bring any such claim exclusively in the courts of the State of North Carolina located in Durham, North Carolina, and you and the Company hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such claim.

(j)         This agreement to arbitrate may be enforced by the parties to these Terms of Service and their permitted successors and assigns or their heirs, executors, administrators, affiliates and legal representatives (as applicable), and shall survive the termination or breach of these Terms of Service.
