The parties may also plead to any court of competent jurisdiction for a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or other interim relief, without breach of this paragraph and without reducing the scope of the powers of the arbitrator.  You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop any lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in such a suit. BY AGREEING TO THIS PROVISION, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO BRING, JOIN, OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF USE; however, you do not waive your rights or remedies to pursue an individual claim in binding arbitration.  The preceding provision is an independent covenant, which you may opt out of by providing written notice of your decision within thirty (30) days of the date that you first use the Site.
