1. RESOLUTION OF CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.
Any claim or dispute between you and Company (or any of Company’s subsidiaries or affiliates) arising out of or relating in any way
to the Product or this Agreement shall be resolved through final, binding arbitration. This arbitration obligation is reciprocally bind-
ing on both you and the Company and applies regardless of whether the claim or dispute involves a tort, fraud, misrepresentation,
product liability, negligence, violation of a statute, or any other legal theory. Both you and Company specifically acknowledge and
agree that you waive your right to bring a lawsuit based on such claims or disputes and to have such lawsuit resolved by a judge or
jury.
2. LIMITATION OF LEGAL REMEDIES.
All arbitrations under this Agreement shall be conducted on an individual (and not a class-wide) basis, and an arbitrator shall
have no authority to award class-wide relief. You acknowledge and agree that this Agreement specifically prohibits you and the
Company from commencing arbitration proceedings as a representative of others or joining in any arbitration proceedings brought
by any other person. The parties agree that no class or representative actions of any type are permitted.
3. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES.
a. Before instituting an arbitration, if you have any dispute, we strongly encourage you to contact the Company to try to resolve the
matter by calling 800-218-3560, although you are not required to do so.
b. The arbitration of any claim or dispute under this Agreement shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures set
forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the date you receive the Product, includ-
ing Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules. These rules and procedures are available by calling JAMS or by visiting its web site at www.
jamsadr.com. The arbitration of any claim or dispute under this Agreement shall be conducted by an arbitrator who has at least five
years of experience conducting arbitrations.
c. The arbitration of any claim or dispute under this Agreement shall be conducted in the State of California or the location in which
you received this Agreement. For claims of $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration proceeds in person, by tele-
phone, or based only on submissions.
d. The Company shall pay costs for the arbitration of claims, including any JAMS Case Management Fee and all professional fees for the
arbitrator’s services. The Company shall pay the fees and costs of its own counsel, experts and witnesses and shall not be able to
recoup them from you even if you do not prevail in the arbitration. Unless otherwise provided by law, you acknowledge and agree
that you shall pay the fees and costs of your own counsel, experts and witnesses.
4. CHOICE OF LAW.
The arbitration provisions of this Agreement and any arbitration conducted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. Secs. 1-16). In this respect, the parties acknowledge that this Agreement involves
a transaction conducted in interstate commerce. Otherwise, this Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, exclusive of conflict or choice of law rules.
5. SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be unlawful, unenforceable or void, such provision will be ineffective
only to the extent that it is found unlawful, unenforceable or void, and the remainder of the provision and all other provisions shall
remain fully enforceable.
