The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of these Terms of Use as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to, issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Arbitration Agreement. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.
