As detailed herein, the Terms of Use mandate that all disputes between you and GoPro be resolved first through an informal dispute resolution process. In the event informal resolution fails, the Terms of Use further mandate that all disputes (except those identified in Section 20.3) be formally resolved through binding arbitration. Binding arbitration means that an arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve such disputes. Consequently, you should read the entirety of Section 20 carefully as it may significantly affect your legal rights.</blockquote>However, it seems that users can opt out of this arbitration agreement by notifying GoPro within 30 days of using their "Service" (which includes their website as well as cameras):<blockquote>'''20.4 30-Day Right to Opt Out.''' | As detailed herein, the Terms of Use mandate that all disputes between you and GoPro be resolved first through an informal dispute resolution process.
