Section 8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND ARBITRATION AGREEMENT
By accepting these terms, you are abiding by and agreeing to resolve any CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Dispute, including but not limited to any claim arising from the CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards program, points, rewards, or transactions resulting in the earning or redemption of CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards points, with the CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Entities in accordance with the provisions set forth in this section. This applies to any controversy, dispute, or claim, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, that you may have against CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG, affiliated entities or parent holding companies, or any of their officers, directors, employees or agents.
Please take note of this section, as it is important and will have a significant impact on how any CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Disputes are settled. As a condition of agreeing to these CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Terms, you are required to provide written notice to CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG (“Demand”) if you have any CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Disputes, even if they arose before you accepted these terms. You must send the Demand to the Notice Address, which is CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Legal Disputes, 5402 E Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46219. Additionally, you are not permitted to take any legal action, including initiating arbitration or filing a lawsuit, until 10 business days have passed after you have sent a Demand.
If the disagreement that you have raised in the Demand is not resolved to the participant’s satisfaction within the initial 10 business days, the CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Dispute will be settled through final and binding arbitration conducted by a sole arbitrator administered by the American Arbitration Association (“Arbitrator”). The arbitration will follow the AAA Consumer-Related Disputes Supplementary Procedure, which became effective on September 15, 2005 (as amended) and will be modified by the agreement to arbitrate contained in this paragraph. The arbitration agreement falls under the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, as it was made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce. The arbitration shall be held in Indianapolis, Indiana, and the arbitrator’s decision will be subject to the CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Terms, along with any other agreements that the relevant user may have entered into. Indiana law, without regard to its choice or conflict of law rules or principles resulting in applying the law of any other jurisdiction, applicable statutes of limitations and consistent with the FAA, shall govern the arbitration, and any claims of privilege recognized at law shall be honored.
This section noted as (A): The authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a representative or class action basis shall not be recognized under any circumstances. Only your and/or the applicable CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Entity’s individual claims can be decided through arbitration, and the arbitrator cannot join the claims of other participants or parties who may be similarly situated.
The arbitrator will not have the power to award punitive damages against you or any CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Entity. In the event that you can demonstrate that the arbitration costs will be prohibitive in comparison to the costs of litigation, CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG or its representative will pay as much of your hearing and filing fees to the connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems whatever necessary to avoid the arbitration being cost-prohibitive. Finally, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be illegal, invalid, unenforceable or otherwise conflicts with AAA rules, the balance of the arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be interpreted in accordance with the terms as if the conflicting, invalid, unenforceable, illegal provision were not contained herein this document.
If, however, subpart (A) is found to be unenforceable, illegal or invalid, then the entirety of this
Arbitration Provision shall be void and null, and neither you nor the affected CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Entity shall be required to arbitrate their dispute.
If, for any reason at all, the American Arbitration Association is unwilling or unable to perform your arbitration, you may file your case with another national service for arbitration company that will honor the requirements set forth above.
Section 9. LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY/INCONTESTABILITY
The CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG entities shall not be held liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages resulting from participation in the CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Program, even if prior notification of such damages had been given to any or all of the CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG entities. However, in some jurisdictions, exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages may not be applicable to you. In the event that a participant proves that CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG has wrongly denied them a reward, the participant’s sole and exclusive remedy is to receive an equivalent reward. Participants renounce their right to seek injunctive or equitable relief. By participating in the CHICAGO BEEF AND DOG Rewards Program, each participant agrees that any legal, equitable, or other claim arising wholly or partly from the program must be served and filed within one year after the initial occurrence of the act, event, condition, or omission on which the claim or action is founded. Each participant acknowledges that this one-year contractual limitation period is not/never abbrvaited and subject to tolling. as may be shorter than the default statute of limitations that would usually/otherwise apply. After this one-year period, the affected claim or cause of action will be considered waived, and the act, event, condition, or omission on which the affected claim or action is based will be considered incontestable.
