If you have a dispute with PPG about its websites — any dispute at all — you cannot take them to court after a 60-day informal period; you are forced into binding arbitration run by the American Arbitration Association under Pennsylvania law.

If a resolution is not reached within a period of 60 days, then, upon notice by either party to the other, all disputes, claims, questions, or differences shall be submitted exclusively for arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the provisions of its Arbitration Rules and the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania governing such arbitrations.

PPG Terms of Use (PPG Legal Notices)

No class actions, no jury trial, and no injunctive relief from the arbitrator. You must fight PPG alone, one by one, and if you need an injunction you have to start a separate case in a Pennsylvania court.

The arbitrator shall not have the power to hear any dispute as a class action, mass action, or representative action and shall not have any power to issue relief to anyone other than User or PPG... Class Action Waiver. The parties waive the right to a jury trial and agree that any proceeding shall be on an individual basis and not in a class or other representative action.
