parties, in a location mutually agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator's
award shall be final, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court having
jurisdiction. In the event that any legal or equitable action, proceeding or
arbitration arises out of or concerns these Terms and Conditions, the

Good Life agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one
