Dispute Resolution: In the event that there is a dispute, claim, or controversy

within the scope of the Program, arising out of or relating to federal or state
statutory claims, common law claims, this Agreement, or the breach, termination,
enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the
scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, such dispute, claim, or
controversy will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, determined by
arbitration in Seattle, WA before one arbitrator.
The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the
substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which [ COMPANY NAME ]’s
principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party,
the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in
that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter
of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar
days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the
same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall
decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that
the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu
of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator
shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for
those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the
fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the
arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such
fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator
shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly
authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award
punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover
punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties
agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and this agreement does not
permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in
any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Except as may be required by
law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or
results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless
to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or
invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other
jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in
arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration
provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to
participate in any of our Programs.
Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary
rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations
hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of
such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The
failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will
not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this
Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or
eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will
otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features,
changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this
Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to
change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be
communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this
Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By
continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this
Agreement, as modified.
