subject to this arbitration provision. The arbitrator shall decide all
issues of interpretation and application of this arbitration provision
and the Limited Warranty.
For any arbitration in which your total damage claims, exclusive of
attorney fees and expert witness fees, are $5,000.00 or less (“Small
Claim”), the arbitrator may, if you prevail, award your reasonable
attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs as part of any award,
but may not grant SAMSUNG its attorney fees, expert witness fees or
costs unless it is determined that the claim was brought in bad faith.
In a Small Claim case, you shall be required to pay no more than half
of the total administrative, facility and arbitrator fees, or $50.00 of
such fees, whichever is less, and SAMSUNG shall pay the remainder
of such fees. Administrative, facility and arbitrator fees for
arbitrations in which your total damage claims, exclusive of attorney
fees and expert witness fees, exceed $5,000.00 (“Large Claim”)
shall be determined according to AAA rules. In a Large Claim case,
the arbitrator may grant to the prevailing party, or apportion among
the parties, reasonable attorney fees, expert witness fees and costs.
Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
