7. ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER:  PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT OR CLASS ACTION IN COURT.

The Sponsor and you (“Parties”) agree that these Official Rules affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

Any dispute/claim relating to this contract or its breach, the Rules or any prize awarded (“Claim”) that is not informally resolved within fifteen (15) days of notice, shall be finally resolved by arbitration in your state of residence.  The arbitration will be administered by the AAA under its AAA Rules, will be conducted in English and by a single arbitrator, and any court with jurisdiction may enter judgment regarding the arbitrator’s award.

The Sponsor entities will bear the cost of any arbitration filing fees and arbitration fees for claims of up to Seventy-Five Thousand US Dollars ($75,000 USD), unless the arbitrator determines that the arbitration is frivolous. You are responsible for any other costs that you may incur in the arbitration, including, attorney fees and expert witness costs, unless the Sponsor entities are otherwise required to pay such costs under applicable law.  You may pursue your claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over the Sponsor entities is proper if your claim otherwise qualifies for such court and you do not seek any equitable relief.

The Parties agree that the Sponsor entities and you will resolve any Claim on an individual basis, and that any Claim will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding (“Class Proceeding”).  The Parties further agree that neither will participate in any current or future Class Proceeding brought by any third party relating to the contract, Rules, or any prize.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver is void or unenforceable or that arbitration may proceed on a class basis, then the relevant claim will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in Los Angeles, California.

The agreement to arbitrate and class action waiver also apply to any Claims you assert against the Sponsor entities’ or their advertisers or their respective present or future parent, subsidiary or affiliated companies.
