E. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver. Any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement that you and we cannot resolve through good faith informal negotiation within a reasonable period (not to exceed 30 days after written notice of a claim or dispute) will be settled by binding arbitration conducted before one neutral arbitrator and governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 USC §§ 10 and 11 ("FAA"). Notice of the demand for arbitration will be filed in writing by either party with the other party to this Agreement and the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA"). The demand for arbitration will be made within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute, or another matter in question has arisen, and in no event will any such demand be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
