8) Changes to This Section: If we make any future changes to this dispute resolution section, they won't apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against StratSimple prior to the change.

In Simple Terms: If we have a serious disagreement, we'll first try to work it out by talking. If that doesn't work, we'll use arbitration instead of going to court, unless it's a small claim.
