DISPUTES: The parties hereto each agree to finally settle all disputes only through arbitration; provided,
however, the Released Parties shall be entitled to seek injunctive or equitable relief in the state and federal
courts in New York County, NY and any other court with jurisdiction over the parties. In arbitration, there is
no judge or jury and review is limited. The arbitrator’s decision and award is final and binding, with limited
exceptions, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court with jurisdiction. The parties agree
that, except as set forth above, any claim, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Promotion shall be resolved solely by binding arbitration before a sole arbitrator under the streamlined
Arbitration Rules Procedures of JAMS Inc. (“JAMS”) or any successor to JAMS. In the event JAMS is
unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”,
then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association
(“AAA”) or any other mutually agreeable arbitration administration service. If an in-person hearing is
required, then it will take place in New York, NY. The federal or state law that applies to these Official
Rules will also apply during the arbitration. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will
not be consolidated with any other proceedings that involve any claims or controversy of another party,
including any class actions; provided, however, if for any reason any court or arbitrator holds that this
restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then the agreement to arbitrate doesn’t apply and the
dispute must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in New York, NY. Sponsor agrees to pay the
administrative and arbitrator’s fees in order to conduct the arbitration (but specifically excluding any travel
or other costs of entrant to attend the arbitration hearing). Either party may, notwithstanding this provision,
bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
