17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. MANDATORY ARBITRATION; NO CLASS ACTIONS. PLEASE READ THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION” SECTION CAREFULLY, AS IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE OR PARTICIPATE IN A LAWSUIT FILED IN COURT.

This Section 17 governs the resolution of any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise) that may arise out of, relate to, or be connected in any way with the Sweepstakes or these Rules between (i) each Entrant (“You”) and (ii) Sponsor (each a “Sweepstakes Dispute”).

1. Informal Dispute Resolution

The parties agree that before initiating any formal dispute pursuant to the provisions below, we will engage in informal dispute resolution to settle any Sweepstakes Dispute(s). Engaging in good faith negotiations to informally resolve such Sweepstakes Dispute shall be a pre-condition to any lawsuit or arbitration. Consequently, if You fail to engage in this process, additional fees could be imposed on You in arbitration.

To adequately engage in this initial dispute resolution process, each party must notify the other party, in writing, of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Sweepstakes Dispute, including the email address associated with the relevant Sign-Up Entry or Mail-Entry, if any, and all damages claimed. Such a writing must be sent (i) by Sponsor to the email address included in Entrant’s Sign-Up Entry or Mail-in Entry; or (ii) by You to [email protected], whichever is applicable (“Dispute Notification”). Sponsor believes this informal process should facilitate resolution. However, if the parties are unable to satisfactorily resolve the Sweepstakes Dispute within forty-five (45) days from the receipt by the non-initiating party of the Dispute Notification, then You and Sponsor agree to the dispute resolution provisions below.

Notwithstanding the foregoing forty-five- (45-) day notice requirement, You and Sponsor agree that if the Sweepstakes Dispute involves either party’s intellectual property rights (defined below) or defamation, this informal dispute resolution provision shall not apply and either party may immediately pursue relief in the manner set forth below.

2. Binding Arbitration

If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution as a result of the Informal Dispute Resolution provision above, then the parties agree that either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve the Sweepstakes Dispute (except as set forth below) subject to these Rules and this arbitration agreement. Specifically, all Sweepstakes Disputes, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of these Rules are void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, and any dispute regarding the payment of arbitration fees (including the timing of such payments and remedies for nonpayment), shall be finally settled by binding arbitration.

Thus, except as explicitly set forth in this Section 17, an arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Rules. The parties understand that by entering this agreement to arbitrate, an arbitrator and not a judge or jury will decide the Sweepstakes Dispute, and that rights to discovery and appeals may be limited in arbitration. The parties further understand that the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation in some instances.

YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT BY AGREEING TO THESE RULES, WHICH INCLUDE THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, YOU AND SPONSOR ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY A JURY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

This agreement to arbitrate affects interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this Section 17 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1, et seq., and federal arbitration law.

1. Arbitration Rules. An arbitration brought under this agreement shall be administered by JAMS and conducted before a single arbitrator in accordance with the provisions of JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class or representative actions and except that each party will be permitted at least one deposition unless forbidden by JAMS. If twenty-five (25) or more similar arbitration demands are filed against Sponsor by the same party or similar parties represented by the same law firm or law firms acting in coordination (a “Mass Arbitration”), then JAMS Mass Arbitration Procedures will apply. The applicable JAMS rules and procedures are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/adr-rules-procedures/. If for any reason JAMS is unable to administer arbitration, either party may apply to a court to appoint an arbitrator pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 5.

2. Class Action Waiver. You and Sponsor acknowledge and agree that, to the maximum extent allowed by law, any arbitration shall be conducted in an individual capacity only and not as a class or other representative action, and the arbitrator may award relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to resolve an individual party’s claim; notwithstanding this acknowledgement and agreement, You agree that any arbitration involving you may proceed on a consolidated basis, but it may do so if and only if Sponsor provides its consent to consolidate in writing.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Rules, disputes regarding the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this “Class Action Waiver” subsection may be resolved only by a court and not by an arbitrator. If there is a final judicial determination that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular remedy, then that remedy (and only that remedy) must be severed from the arbitration and may be sought in court. The parties agree, however, that any adjudication of remedies not subject to arbitration shall be stayed pending the outcome of any arbitrable claims and remedies.

3. Arbitration Location. If the amount in controversy does not exceed $25,000 and does not involve injunctive or declaratory relief, then the arbitration will be conducted solely by submission of written materials that You and Sponsor submit to the arbitrator, unless (A) the arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary or (B) the parties agree otherwise. In such cases, the parties agree to remote participation in the hearing by video- or telephone- conference.

If the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000 or involves declaratory or injunctive relief, either party may request an arbitration hearing, and that hearing shall presumptively be held via video- or telephone-conference unless (A) the arbitrator determines there is good cause to hold an in-person hearing or (B) the parties agree otherwise. In the event there is an in-person hearing, the location of the hearing will be determined by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, by the arbitrator in accordance with JAMS Rules and Procedures and applicable law.

4. Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration demand or counterclaim asserted by either party must contain sufficient information to provide fair notice to the other party of the asserting party’s identity, the claims being asserted, and the factual allegations on which the claims are based. The arbitrator and/or JAMS may require amendment of any demand or counterclaim that does not satisfy these requirements.

The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator also shall be empowered to impose sanctions in accordance with JAMS Rules and Procedures including for any frivolous claims or submissions the arbitrator determines have not been filed in good faith under the standard set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, and/or for a party’s failure to comply with any provision or condition or these Rules.

Subject to the applicable JAMS rules and procedures, the parties agree that the arbitrator will have the discretion to allow the filing of dispositive motions if they are likely to efficiently resolve or narrow issues in dispute.

Unless otherwise prohibited by law, all arbitration proceedings will be confidential and closed to the public and any parties other than You and Sponsor (and each of the parties’ authorized representatives and agents), and all records relating thereto will be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award (provided that the party seeking confirmation shall seek to file such records under seal to the extent permitted by law).

5. Arbitrator’s Decision. The arbitrator will render an award within the time frame specified in the applicable JAMS Rules and Procedures and will include the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator based the award. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages on an individual basis only and to grant, on an individual basis, any non-monetary remedy or relief to the extent available under applicable law, JAMS’ rules and procedures, and these Rules. The parties agree that the damages and/or other relief awarded, if any, must be consistent with the terms of Section 16 (“Release, Indemnification, and Limitation on Liability”). The arbitrator’s award shall be written and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. No individual arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration.

6. Fees. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, JAMS Rules and Procedures will govern the amount You and Sponsor must pay to JAMS for arbitration fees, including with respect to any fee waivers. However, if the arbitrator determines that your claim(s) were frivolous or asserted in bad faith, you understand and agree that consistent with this Section 17, You may be required to reimburse Sponsor for arbitration fees (including attorneys’ fees) that Sponsor incurred to defend Your claim(s).

The parties further agree that JAMS has discretion to modify the amount or timing of any administrative or arbitration fees due under JAMS Rules where it deems appropriate, provided that such modification does not increase the costs to You, and You waive any objection to such fee modification. The parties also agree that a good-faith challenge by either party to the fees imposed by JAMS does not constitute a default, waiver, or breach of this Section 17 while such challenge remains pending before JAMS, the arbitrator, and/or a court of competent jurisdiction as provided in these Rules.

You are responsible for Your own attorneys’ fees, except to the extent otherwise provided by these Rules, JAMS Rules, and/or applicable law. Sponsor will not seek its attorneys’ fees and arbitration costs from You with respect to claims that You file, unless the arbitrator determines that Your claim is frivolous, or that You have engaged in conduct that is considered sanctionable under either JAMS Rules or Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11. Sponsor may seek attorneys’ fees as provided by these Rules, JAMS rules, and/or applicable law for claims it pursues against You.

7. Time to File. Any arbitration must be commenced by filing a demand for arbitration within one (1) year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or reasonably should know of the act, omission or default giving rise to the claim. If applicable law prohibits a one (1) year limitation period for asserting claims, any claim must be asserted within the shortest time period permitted by applicable law.

3. Exceptions to Arbitration – Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all Sweepstakes Disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court (subject to these Rules, including the “Choice of Law/Venue” section below) to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also elect to have Sweepstakes Disputes resolved in a small claims court if and to the extent the Disputes that are within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction. Either party may also seek a declaratory judgment or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction regarding whether a party’s claims are time-barred or may be brought in small claims court in your state and county of residence. Seeking such relief shall not waive a party’s right to arbitration under this agreement.

4. Choice of Law/Venue

Except where preempted by federal law, You agree that all Sweepstakes Disputes whether in arbitration or litigation (if excluded from arbitration under these Rules or non-arbitrable for any reason) shall be governed by Indiana law, excluding its conflicts of law provisions. You further agree that solely to the extent any Sweepstakes Dispute is not resolved under the arbitration agreement in these Rules—to include any arbitration-related litigation such as a motion to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on an award entered by an arbitrator—must be resolved exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction, federal or state (including small claims court), located in Lake County, Indiana, and no other court. You consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction over You by such courts and to accept service of process from them.

5. 30-Day Right to Opt Out

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out by mail sent to ATTN: Legal Department, 5164 East 81st Avenue #1001, Merrillville, Indiana 46410, or by email to [email protected]. The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of the date these Rules became effective or your first participation in the Sweepstakes, whichever comes later, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Sponsor also will not be bound by them. However, even if you opt out of arbitration pursuant to this subsection 17(e), you will continue to be bound by other dispute resolution provisions in Section 17, including Sections 17(a), 17(d), and 17(f).

6. Changes to this Section

Sponsor will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any material changes to this Section 17. Any such changes will go into effect 30 days after Sponsor provides this notice to You and will apply to all claims not yet filed regardless of when such claims may have accrued. If Sponsor changes this “Dispute Resolution” section after the date you first accepted these Rules (or accepted any subsequent changes to these Rules), you agree that your continued participation in the Sweepstakes for fifteen (15) days after such change will be deemed acceptance of those changes.
