DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT (“ARBITRATION AGREEMENT”) SCOPE OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. 

Mindful of the high cost of legal disputes, not only in dollars but in time and energy, you expressly agree that any legal dispute or claim between you and us arising out of, relating to or concerning this Site and/or this agreement, any communications between you and us, or your participation in any other program or service provided by us, shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration unless you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement using the process explained below. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE OR GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. However, either you or us may bring any individual claim in small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is brought and maintained as an individual claim. The term “dispute” means any dispute, action, claim, or other controversy between you and us, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

INFORMAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION. 

Either party asserting a dispute shall first try in good faith to resolve it by providing written notice as specified below to the other party describing the facts and circumstances (including any relevant documentation) and allowing the receiving party 30 days in which to respond. Notice shall be made by first class or registered mail (1) to us at 19415 International Blvd. #410 SeaTac, WA 98188-5308, Attn: Legal Department, or (2) to you at the postal address on file with us. You expressly agree that this dispute resolution procedure is a condition precedent which must be satisfied before initiating any arbitration against us.

You also may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement within 30 days after we notify you regarding a material change to this Arbitration Agreement.

GOVERNING LAW AND OTHER TERMS. 

This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act and other applicable federal law. To the extent state law applies to any aspect of this Arbitration Agreement, or to any disputes and claims that are covered by the Arbitration Agreement, the law of the State of Utah will govern without regard to principles of choice or conflicts of law. We will provide notice of any material changes to this Arbitration Agreement. Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement. Only the arbitrator is authorized to make determinations as to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this Agreement, including whether any dispute falls within its scope. However, the parties agree that any issue concerning the validity of the class action/representative waiver above must be decided by a court, and an arbitrator does not have authority to consider the validity of the waiver.
