US AND CANADA DISPUTES WITH OPERATORS

THIS SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO RESIDENTS IN THE PROVINCE OF QUEBEC PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND THE OPERATORS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. NOTE: THIS SECTION WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

This Section is deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and Operators agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.

We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms of Use, any claim and all claims, disputes or disagreements (whether in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise) between you and Operators (or any of them) of any kind or nature, including but not limited to those arising out of or relating to or connected in any way with (i) your use of or interaction with the Sites, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with Operators, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to Operators or that Operators may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, “Operators Transactions or Relationships”), you will not have the right to pursue a claim in court, or have a jury decide the claim, and you will not have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in arbitration. By using or interacting with the Services or engaging in any other Operators Transactions or Relationships with us, you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.

As a condition precedent to Arbitration, within thirty (30) days of our receipt of your written notice to the applicable Brand Entity., 11400 SE 6th Street, Suite 125, Bellevue WA 98004, we will make reasonable efforts to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using our Services or otherwise affirmatively agreeing to these Terms of Use, you agree that any and all complaints, disputes, or disagreements you may have against Operators (or any of them), and any claim that Operators (or any of them) may have against you of any kind or nature, including but not limited to those arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy or additional program terms shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration (“Arbitration”) administered by JAMS or its successor (“JAMS”) and conducted in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules And Procedures in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated or, if the amount in controversy exceeds $100,000, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules And Procedures then in effect (respectively, the “Applicable Rules”). The Applicable Rules can be found at www.jamsadr.com. If, at the time the arbitration is filed, JAMS has Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness for Consumer Arbitrations in effect which would be applicable to the matter in dispute, Operators agree to provide the benefit of such Minimum Standards to you to the extent they are more favorable than the comparable arbitration provisions set forth in this Section, provided, however, that in no event may such Minimum Standards contravene or restrict the application of subpart (e) or (i) below. Furthermore, this Section shall not prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. You further agree that:

(a)       Single Arbitrator. The Arbitration shall be conducted before a single arbitrator selected in accordance with the Applicable Rules or by mutual agreement between you and Operators (the “Arbitrator”);

(b)       Arbitrator Will Interpret This Agreement. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising under or relating to the validity, interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms of Use and/or these arbitration provisions in this Section hereof, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use is void or voidable;

(c)        Location of Arbitration. The Arbitration shall be held either: (i) at a location determined by JAMS pursuant to the Applicable Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and Operators; or (iii) at your election, if the only claims in the arbitration are asserted by you and are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, by telephone or by written submission.

(d)       Governing Law. The Arbitrator (i) shall apply internal laws of the State of Washington consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the U.S., irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) shall entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with Washington or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) shall have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief;

(e)       No Class Relief. The Arbitration can resolve only your and/or Operators’ individual claims, and the Arbitrator shall have no authority to entertain or arbitrate any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated;

(f)         Written Award. The Arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the Arbitrator’s complete determination of the dispute and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets;

(g)       Arbitration Costs. In the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of Arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Operators will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the Arbitration as the Arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive, regardless of the outcome of the Arbitration, unless the Arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith;

(h)       Reasonable Attorney’s Fees. In the event you recover an Award greater than Operators’ last written settlement offer, the Arbitrator shall also have the right to include in the Award Operators’ reimbursement of your reasonable and actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees associated with the Arbitration, but Operators shall in all events bear its own attorneys’ fees; and

(i)         Interpretation and Enforcement of Arbitration Clause. With the exception of subpart (e) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Applicable Rules, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (e) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Operators shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute and must instead bring any claims in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(j)         Modification of Arbitration Clause With Notice. Operators may modify these arbitration provisions, but such modifications shall only become effective thirty (30) days after Operators has given notice of such modifications and only on a prospective basis for claims arising from Operators Transactions and Relationships occurring after the effective date of such notification.

(k)        Small Claims Matters and Infringement are Excluded. No Class Relief or Joinder of Claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration provisions, at your option, you may bring any claim you have against Operators in your local small claims court within the U.S., if your claim is within such court’s jurisdictional limit; provided that such court does not have the authority to entertain any claims on a class or representative basis, or to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated in such proceeding. Additionally, Operators shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction, to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights.

US AND CANADA Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. These Terms of Use supersede any other agreement between you and any of the Operators to the extent necessary to resolve any inconsistency or ambiguity between them.  These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of Washington, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.  Any action seeking legal or equitable relief arising out of or relating to the Sites will be brought only in the courts of King County in the State of Washington or the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.  A printed version of these Terms of Use will be admissible in judicial and administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms of Use to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

AUSTRALIA DISPUTES WITH OPERATORS

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND HOW CLAIMS THAT YOU AND THE OPERATORS HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED. NOTE: THIS SECTION WILL ONLY APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes or disagreements that you may have with us. Therefore, pursuant to these Terms of Use, if you have any dispute or disagreement with us regarding (i) your use of or interaction with the Sites, (ii) any purchases or other transactions or relationships with Operators, or (iii) any data or information you may provide to Operators or that Operators may gather in connection with such use, interaction or transaction (collectively, “Operators Transactions or Relationships”), you agree to binding arbitration as provided below.

We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. If those efforts fail, by using our Services, you agree that any complaint, dispute, or disagreement you may have against Operators, and any claim that Operators may have against you, arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with these Terms of Use, our Privacy Policy or additional program terms shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with, and subject to, Resolution Institute Arbitration Rules. Unless the parties agree upon an arbitrator, either party may request a nomination from the Chair of Resolution Institute.

AUSTRALIA Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. These Terms of Use supersede any other agreement between you and any of the Operators to the extent necessary to resolve any inconsistency or ambiguity between them. These Terms of Use will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Australia and the State of Victoria, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.
