DISPUTE RESOLUTION; NO CLASS RELIEF.
-
Arbitration Agreement. These Official Rules and this Sweepstakes, as well as any dispute between any entrant and Sponsor, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Oregon, without regard to conflicts of law principles. Notwithstanding the foregoing, entrants agree that this Arbitration Agreement involves interstate commerce and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, and not by state law. Any dispute, claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to these Official Rules or this Sweepstakes, including, but not limited to, any entrant’s participation in the Sweepstakes, shall be settled by mandatory, confidential, final, and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon, or, if an entrant’s access to arbitration is precluded by that location, then the home county where the entrant resides, and administered by JAMS in accordance with its then-existing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (except for any rules authorizing class arbitration). There shall be a single arbitrator to be selected in accordance with those rules. Neither the entrants nor Sponsor shall be entitled to join or consolidate claims in arbitration by or against other individuals or entities, or to arbitrate as a representative member of a putative class or in a private attorney general capacity. ALL DISPUTES SHALL BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, AND NOT AS A CLASS ACTION, REPRESENTATIVE ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR ANY SIMILAR PROCEEDING. The arbitrator shall have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive or other monetary damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, including attorneys’ fees, except as may be required by statute or the applicable JAMS rules. Any award and any judgment confirming it only applies to the arbitration in which it was awarded and cannot be used in any other case except to enforce the award itself. The parties further agree that the arbitrator shall have sole authority to determine any and all claims challenging the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement.
- Class and Mass Action Waiver. ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE, ARBITRATE, OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. NEITHER ENTRANTS NOR SPONSOR WILL SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. No proceeding, regardless of the forum, will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected proceedings. THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPH (ARBITRATION AGREEMENT) SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER TO ARBITRATION. ENTRANTS AND SPONSOR HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A CLASS ACTION BEFORE ANY COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
- Jury Trial Waiver. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, ENTRANTS AND SPONSOR EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. In any action between Entrants and Sponsor, if a court or an arbitrator determines that any part of this Dispute Resolution section is unenforceable with respect to any claim, remedy, or request for relief, then this Dispute Resolution section will not apply to that claim, remedy, or request for relief. But this Dispute Resolution section will still apply to all other claims, remedies, and requests for relief that Entrants or Sponsor may assert in that or any other action. In any such case, Entrants or Sponsor agree that they will arbitrate all claims, remedies, and requests for relief subject to individual arbitration first, and that any remaining unresolved claims, remedies, or requests for relief may be pursued in court only after the arbitrator’s award has been issued. In any such proceeding, the arbitrator’s factual findings will not be entitled to deference by the court. Any and all disputes pursued in court in accordance with this paragraph shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the United States District Court for the District of Oregon, or the appropriate state court located in Multnomah County, Oregon.
