12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: You agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has
arisen or may arise relating in any way to or arising out of the Sweepstakes or the Official Rules
will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Dispute Resolution section.
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE
A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER
ARE RESOLVED.
You agree that whenever you have a disagreement with Administrator or Sponsor
arising out of, connected to, or in any way related to the Sweepstakes or the Official Rules, you
will send a written notice to the Administrator (“Demand”). You agree that the requirements of
this Dispute Resolution section will apply even to disagreements that may have arisen before
you accepted these Official Rules. You must send the Demand to the following address (the
“Notice Address”): Legal Department, Merkle Inc., 3000 Town Center, Suite 2100, Southfield, MI
48075. You agree that you will not take any legal action, including filing a lawsuit or demanding
arbitration, until 10 business days after you send a Demand. If the disagreement stated in the
Demand is not resolved to your satisfaction within 10 business days after it is received, and you
intend on taking legal action, you agree that you will file a demand for arbitration with the
American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitrator”). THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION LIMITS
THE ABILITY OF YOU, ADMINISTRATOR, AND SPONSOR TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN COURT
AND YOU, ADMINISTRATOR, AND SPONSOR EACH AGREE TO WAIVE YOUR
RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OR A STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE. YOU AGREE
THAT YOU WILL NOT FILE ANY LAWSUIT AGAINST ADMINISTRATOR OR SPONSOR IN
ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. For any such filing of a demand for arbitration, you must
effect proper service under the rules of the Arbitrator and notice to the Notice Address may not
be sufficient. If, for any reason, the American Arbitration Association is unable to conduct the
arbitration, you may file your case with any national arbitration company. The Arbitrator shall
apply the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules effective September 1, 2014 (as may be amended)
and as modified by the agreement to arbitrate in this Dispute Resolution section. You agree that
the Arbitrator will have sole and exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute you have with
Administrator or Sponsor. The Federal Arbitration Act allows for the enforcement of arbitration
agreements and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate.
YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT FILE A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE
ACTION AGAINST ADMINISTRATOR OR SPONSOR, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT
PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST THEM. YOU
AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT JOIN YOUR CLAIMS TO THOSE OF ANY OTHER PERSON.
Notwithstanding any other provision in the Official Rules, if this class action waiver is
invalidated, then the agreement to arbitrate is null and void, as though it were never entered
into, and any arbitration dispute at that time will be dismissed without prejudice and may be
refiled in a court. Under no circumstances do you, Administrator, or Sponsor agree to class or
collective procedures in arbitration or the joinder of claims in arbitration. Administrator and
Sponsor agree that we will submit all disputes with you to arbitration before the Arbitrator.
All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and
enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the Entrant, Administrator,
and Sponsor in connection with the Sweepstakes, or any claim or dispute that has arisen or
may arise between you, Administrator and Sponsor, shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Missouri without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict of law rules. The place of arbitration shall be St. Louis, Missouri.
