19.4 In addition to Section 19.2, if the Jurisdiction is North America, the parties agree the additional terms below:
19.4.1 THIS SECTION LIMITS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO MAINTAIN A COURT ACTION, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIM AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS THAT A PARTY MAY HAVE IN COURT MAY ALSO NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.

Each party agrees that it shall not bring Proceedings in arbitration on a class or representative basis, and the arbitrator can decide only Your and/or Our individual claims.
19.4.3 If for any reason any Proceedings proceed in court rather than in arbitration, both parties each waive any right to a jury trial. No waiver of any provision of this Section of these Terms will be effective or enforceable unless recorded in a writing signed by the party waiving such a right or requirement. Such a waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of these Terms.
19.5 The terms of this Section 19 shall survive and continue in force notwithstanding the suspension, termination or expiry of these Terms
