It Limits Certain Of Your Rights, Including Your Right To Obtain Relief or Damages Through Court Action Prior to Engaging in Non-Binding Arbitration. Disputes under this Service Plan shall be subject to mandatory, non-binding arbitration. To begin arbitration, either You or We must make a written demand to the other party for arbitration. The arbitration will take place before a single arbitrator. It will be administered in keeping with the Expedited Procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules (“Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect when the claim is filed. You may get a copy of the AAA’s Rules by contacting AAA at 1633 Broadway, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10019, calling 1-800-778-7879 or visiting www.adr.org. The filing fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared equally between You and Us. This does not prohibit the arbitrator from giving the winning party their fees and expenses of the arbitration. Unless You and We agree, the arbitration will take place in the county and state where You live. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., will govern and not any state law on arbitration. The arbitration decision will not be binding on either party, and following such decision either party may elect to bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to the claim or claims considered in the arbitration proceeding. You also agree that any arbitration proceeding will only consider Your Claims. Claims by, or on behalf of, other individuals will not be arbitrated in any proceeding that is considering Your Claims. Please refer to the State Disclosures section of this Plan for any added requirements in Your state. In the event this arbitration provision is not approved by the appropriate state regulatory agency, and/or is stricken, severed, or otherwise deemed unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, You and We specifically agree to waive and forever give up the right to a trial by jury. Instead, in the event any litigation arises between You and Us, any such lawsuit will be tried before a judge, and a jury will not be impaneled or struck.
