Any dispute between you and Hawaiian Host, its officers, managers, members, employees, agents, directors, principals, successors, assigns, subsidiaries, distributors, or affiliates (collectively for purposes of this section, “Hawaiian Host”) arising from or relating to your use of the Site, its contents, the Terms, and any products that you purchase through the Online Store (collectively, “Covered Disputes”), that cannot be resolved through discussion with us, will be settled by arbitration administrated by a recognized ADR provider and platform suitable for consumer disputes.  The arbitrator will have the power to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity and any award of the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in a court located in Honolulu, Hawaii.
