either of these will be at the expense of the winner. Winner is responsible for all taxes and fees
associated with prize receipt and/or use. Odds of winning the Sweepstakes prize depend on the number

legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an

IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE OR EQUITABLE RELIEF. SOME

11. Disputes: 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 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 ten (10) business days after you send a
Demand. If the disagreement stated in the Demand is not resolved to your satisfaction within ten (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. You agree that if you do sue in state or federal court, and Administrator or Sponsor brings a
successful motion to compel arbitration, you must pay all fees and costs incurred by Administrator and
Sponsor in court, including reasonable attorney’s fees. 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 Michigan
without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules. The place of arbitration shall be Oakland
County, Michigan. This arbitration provision shall survive conclusion, modification or termination of the
Sweepstakes and suspension, revocation, closure, modification, or amendments to the Official Rules, and
any aspect of the relationship of the parties relating to or arising from participation in the Sweepstakes.
