Participants agree that any and all disputes, claims, causes of action, or controversies ("Claims") arising out of or in connection with the Sweepstakes shall be resolved, upon the election by the participant, Sponsor or Prize Supplier (as applicable), by arbitration conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions without any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties, pursuant to this provision and the code of proce- dures of either the National Arbitration Forum ("NAF") or the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), as selected by the participant. IF ARBITRATION IS CHOSEN BY ANY PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A CLAIM, NO PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LIT- IGATE THAT CLAIM IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL ON THAT CLAIM. FURTHER, NEITHER SPONSOR, PRIZE SUP- 3
PLIER NOR PARTICIPANT WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY ON BEHALF OF THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR OTHER PERSONS SIMILARLY SITUATED, OR AS A MEMBER OF ANY CLASS OF CLAIMANTS PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW, THE ARBI- TRATOR'S DECISION WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING. NOTE THAT OTHER RIGHTS THAT PARTICIPANT WOULD HAVE IF PARTICIPANT WENT TO COURT ALSO MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION. Unless the participant, Spon- sor and Prize Suppliers all agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's Claims, and may not otherwise pre- side over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitrator's authority to resolve Claims is limited to Claims between the Sponsor, Prize Supplier and the participant alone, and the arbitrator's authority to make awards is limited to awards to the Sponsor, Prize Suppliers and the participant alone. Also, claims brought by any party against another may not be joined or consolidated in arbitration with Claims brought by or against any third party, unless agreed to in writing by all parties. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's indi- vidual claim. No arbitration award or decision will have any preclusive effect as to issues or claims in any dispute with anyone who is not a named party to the arbitration. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Official Rules and without waiving a party's right to appeal such decision, should any portion of this paragraph be deemed invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision (other than this sentence and the paragraph below) shall be null and void.
If arbitration is not used to resolve a Claim, THE PARTICIPANT AGREES THAT THERE WILL NOT BE A JURY TRIAL. PARTIC- IPANT, SPONSOR, PRIZE SUPPLIERS EACH UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SWEEPSTAKES IN ANY WAY. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS PARAGRAPH MAY BE FILED TO SHOW A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT. Par- ticipant agrees that the Sweepstakes shall be subject to and governed by the laws of the State of Maine, without giving any effect to the principals of conflicts of law, and the forum for any dispute shall be in York County, Maine.
