- Dispute Resolution:
- Any dispute or claim between you, on the one hand, and Sponsor, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, employees, and assigns, on the other hand (“Claims”) will be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration, rather than in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. Further, you will not have the right to participate as a representative or a member of a class of claimants. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages).
- Claims include, without limitation, (a) Claims related to or arising out of any aspect of any relationship between you and Sponsor; and (b) Claims relating to the construction, scope, applicability, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement. Claim has the broadest possible meaning and includes disputes based on contract, tort, consumer rights, fraud or other intentional torts, statutes, regulations, common law, or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Claim” does not include an action to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights, which you or Sponsor may file in court.
- You and Sponsor each agree to notify the other in writing of any Claim and will attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute before beginning an arbitration proceeding. Notice to Sponsor shall be sent to Swisher International, Inc., attn: VP Consumer Marketing, 459 E. 16th St., Jacksonville, FL 32206]. If you and Sponsor cannot resolve the dispute between yourselves within 30 days of you or Sponsor providing written notice, either party may initiate an arbitration.
- You and Sponsor agree that the arbitration will be administered by JAMS. The JAMS arbitration rules can be obtained at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. The arbitration will be decided by a single arbitrator selected in accordance with JAMS rules. The arbitrator will take reasonable steps to protect proprietary and confidential information. At your or Sponsor’s request, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision explaining the basis for the award.
- You and Sponsor agree that no class action, private attorney general, or other representative claims may be pursued in arbitration. Unless you and Sponsor agree, Claims of two or more people cannot be joined or consolidated in the same arbitration.
- You and Sponsor agree that this Promotion involves interstate commerce and that these Official Rules and any arbitration proceedings are governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. Any Claim or other dispute between the parties will be governed by these Official Rules and the laws of the state of Florida and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
