If applicable law prohibits a one-year limitations period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.

Any arbitration costs or fees deemed "excessive" will be paid by Menuat. v. You and Menuat agree that this Agreement involves interstate commerce and is subject to the Federal Arbitration Act.
