(2) disabling, suspending, or terminating your account/username or otherwise prohibiting you from accessing or using the Site.
No Class Actions. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis. You may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action.
