Initial Dispute Resolution and Notification. You and we agree that, prior to initiating an arbitration or other legal proceeding, you and we will attempt to negotiate an informal resolution of the Dispute. To begin this process, and before initiating any arbitration or legal proceeding against us, you must send a Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) by certified mail to the attention of our Legal Department at the address set out in Section 21 of these Terms. For purposes of these Terms, initiating an arbitration means filing an arbitration demand (“Demand”).

Your Notice to us must contain all of the following information: (1) your full name, address, username, and the email address associated with your account for the Services; (2) a detailed description of the nature and basis of the Dispute; (3) a description of the relief you want, including any money damages you request; and (4) your signature verifying the accuracy of the Notice and, if you are represented by counsel, authorizing us to disclose information about you to your attorney.

After receipt of your Notice, you and we shall engage in a good-faith effort to resolve the dispute for a period of 60 days, which both sides may extend by written agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Period”). During the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, neither you nor we may initiate an arbitration or other legal proceeding.

If the Dispute is not resolved during the Informal Dispute Resolution Period, you may initiate an individual arbitration as provided below.

Mediation. If a dispute arises out of or relates to these Terms, or the Participant’s involvement in an Event, and if said dispute cannot be resolved or settled through negotiation, Participant, individually and on behalf of all of her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, agrees that prior to the filing of any arbitration, or other legal action consistent with the provisions of these Terms, that Participant will first attempt, in good faith, to settle the dispute by non-binding mediation administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”). The mediation shall take place in Boston, Massachusetts, and shall be facilitated by a neutral appointed JAMS. The costs of such mediation shall be shared equally by the parties thereto.

Arbitration. All controversies, disputes or claims arising out of or related to these Terms, to the extent not first resolved through negotiation and mediation, will be submitted to and for binding arbitration in front of a single arbitrator of JAMS, conducted in accordance with JAMS’ then-current General Arbitration Rules and Procedures (which shall include the applicability of JAMS’ Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards), at the JAMS’ offices in Boston, Massachusetts. All matters related to arbitration will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by any state arbitration law.

The arbitrator will have the right to award or include in the award any relief which the arbitrator deems proper in the circumstances, except that the arbitrator does not have the right to award exemplary, punitive, penal or multiple (e.g., double or treble) damages. The award and decision of the arbitrator will be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto and judgment upon the award may be entered solely in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts. If Spartan is the prevailing party in any arbitration brought by you, you agree to reimburse Spartan for any arbitration costs and fees incurred by Spartan (except if you are resident of the State of California).

The arbitrator will not have the authority or right to add to, delete, amend, or modify the terms, conditions, or provisions of these Terms. All findings, decisions and awards of the arbitrator will be limited to the dispute(s) set forth in the written demand for arbitration (and any submitted counterclaim), and the arbitrator will not have authority to decide any other issues unless the parties to the arbitration mutually agree thereto.

Participant, individually and on behalf of all of her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that any arbitration will be conducted only on any individual, not a class-wide, basis (as further described below), and that an arbitration proceeding initiated by Participant and/or her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, may not be consolidated with any other arbitration proceeding. No findings, conclusions, orders or awards emanating from any arbitration proceeding conducted hereunder may be introduced, referred to, or used in any subsequent or other proceeding as a precedent, to collaterally estop any party from advancing any claim or defense or from raising any like or similar issues, or for any other purpose whatsoever. The principles of collateral estoppel shall not apply in any arbitration proceeding conducted under this section.

Further, Participant, individually and on behalf of all of her/his heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns, acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any provision of law which provides for a longer limitations period, neither Participant nor Participant’s heirs, personal representatives, executors, successors and assigns will bring, commence, or maintain an action or claim of any kind, in connection with liability or obligation in connection with these Terms, or otherwise, unless brought before the expiration of the earlier of: (i) one (1) year after the date of discovery of the facts resulting in such alleged liability or obligation, or if earlier, the date such facts should or could have been discovered with reasonable diligence; or (ii) eighteen (18) months after the date of the first act or omission giving rise to such alleged liability or obligation. Actions and claims brought or asserted after expiration of the applicable limitations period shall be barred.

Class Action Waiver. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS (WHETHER IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION) AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, COORDINATED, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, REQUEST FOR PUBLIC INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. This also means that you and we may not participate in any class, collective, consolidated, coordinated, private attorney general, request for public injunctive relief, or representative proceeding brought by any third party.  Notwithstanding this provision or any other language in these Terms, you or we may participate in a class-wide settlement. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND WE WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

Severability. If any portion of this Section 17 is found to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable, then that portion shall be deemed to be severable and, if possible, superseded by a valid, enforceable provision, or portion thereof, that matches the intent of the original provision, or portion thereof, as closely as possible. The remainder of Section 17 and all other Terms shall continue to be enforceable and valid.
